What the petition asks
Recently it has come to my attention that resale tickets to concerts have been reaching extraordinary prices and not everyone has the money to spare, I would like to put a stop to this as it is morally wrong to charge someone £400-£900 for a £30-£60 ticket.
One example of this would be the resale of tickets to see 5 Seconds of Summer at the O2 in April, for 1 floor standing ticket, the price asked was £990.
Another example is to see One Direction in Sheffield on the 31st October, for 2 tickets, the prices reached a disgusting price of £2750.
