Petition Stop ticket touts making profits on ticket resales

More details

In the United Kingdom, it is currently not illegal to resell concert tickets and make a profit from that sale.

It is illegal to resell football tickets under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 unless the resale is authorised by the organiser of the match.

The aim of this petition is to also make it illegal to resell tickets for financial gain. Tickets should be sold for face value or less. Genuine fans are missing out on amazing opportunities.
