Rejected petition Prevent concert tickets from being re sold at prices higher than face value

With the popularity of concert tickets increasing,there is limited tickets available for purchase.Therefore people are exploiting this by selling the tickets at expensive prices, exceeding the face value of the tickets.I believe it's necessary to stop this and cap re sale at face value price only

More details

A good example of this is the upcoming Ed Sheeran concert in which the face value of the tickets are £70, and the re sale of these tickets are exceeding £150 per ticket
