Rejected petition Stop concert tickets from being sold for more than face value!
More details
The amount of people selling tickets for extortionate fees is increasing and it should be made illegal for anyone to sell tickets on the likes of eBay for massively inflated prices!... a recent example is tickets for boy band JLS went on sale at 9am with a face value of £25.00 - £35.00 by 9.30 the good seat tickets were on sale on eBay for up to £294.00 for 2 … this is happening with all major events and is stopping the true fans from getting seats ! … This action can be easily stopped by making it illegal to re sell concert / event tickets for more than the face value.
