Rejected petition Ban resale of concert tickets. Touts making huge profits from fans is not fair.

Recent ticket sales result in disappointed fans and rich touts. Ed Sheeran's Divide tour sold out in seconds with tickets instantly being resold at over 10 times their face value. Similarly, extortionate prices are charged for other artists. Stricter legislation should be imposed to block arbitrage.

- Adele at the O2 Arena in London (March 2016) was listed on Get Me In for £24,840. This should not be allowed.
