Rejected petition Regulate ticket sales and bring back in-person ticket buying for fairness

We want the Government to stop ticketing giants from exploiting fans. Cap inflated resale prices, punish unfair pricing, and bring back in-person ticket sales. Let fans queue, experience, connect, and access tickets fairly before live music/events becomes a privilege, not a passion.

More details

It’s become nearly impossible to get tickets as bots and resellers snap them up, only to resell at triple the price. Fans are locked out by online systems and unfair practices. We urge artists and organisers to bring back in-person sales through local shops and regulate the market. It’s a fair, proven method that supports communities, stops scams, and gives real fans a fighting chance. Let’s restore fairness and protect fans from exploitation in live event ticketing.
