Rejected petition To stop companies selling sports or concert tickets with huge hidden charges.

I Purchased 2 tickets from Viagogo, original price, £80 each. Upon checkout I was charged £440. I had high pressure sales tactics to pay within 10 minutes. There was no indication of fees until after payment. Viagogo has links on their site for charges but you are not prompted to these links.

More details

I am not the first to experience Viagogo's shocking tactics as this Facebook link will testify to other peoples experiences.

These high pressure sales tactics are underhand and must be made clearer.
