This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Make it illegal to resell concert tickets for more than face value.
More details
Genuine concert goers do not get a look in when they want to see their favourite artist as concerts are continually being sold out within hours of tickets going on sale as ticket touts snap up as many tickets as they can. They then list these tickets for sale for extortionate amounts on Internet websites such as Ebay and GetMeIn.
This petition is to make it illegal to resell concert tickets for more than the face value and to ban online websites from giving the opportunity to ticket touts to list concert tickets for sale at more than their original value.
