What the petition asks
Many true fans are unable to get tickets to gigs/events due to people buying up the tickets to sell at treble the face value. If the websites (Viagogo, seat wave and get me in etc) are banned from selling above the face value then this will not happen.
look at the websites and the prices they are paying. Most events sell out in the first half hour or so and within minutes these touting websites are selling them at ridiculous prices. Leaving many fans disappointed.
