Rejected petition Change secondary ticketing market laws to cap resale prices at face value.

Unethical ticket resales are damaging the music industry. Fans are either having to miss out on gigs, or the inflated prices are leaving them with less cash to spend at the venues on merchandise and hospitality, or on other music events; which is decreasing the profits of both artist and venues.
