Rejected petition Ban all touting websites for U.K. Events such as concerts, football etc

Whenever I go to buy a ticket I end up unable to and then I see I'll have to pay a ridiculous amount of money on a touting website when all I want to do is go to a football game or go to a concert, it should be made illegal to tout in the U.K.
