Rejected petition Stop ticket touts buying tickets for the purpose of reselling at a higher price.

Those of us who go to concerts are fed up with trying to get tickets for shows, only to find that the show is sold out and most of the tickets are now on tout websites being sold at prices much higher than the original asking price.

More details

Ticketmaster will recommend sites such as getmein if they have sold out of tickets. This needs to stop. People should only be allowed to sell tickets for the same price that they paid for them.
