Make it illegal to resell tickets for events for more than face value.

What the petition asks

Disheartend after another failed attempt to buy tickets for a concert as soon as they went on sale due to touts instantly buying up the tickets and then automatically listing them for resale on sites such as stubhub.co.uk for 10 times the face value. It's time to make this practice illegal!

Fans are constantly being ripped off by touts who instantly buy up concert, theatre, football and other event tickets and then automatically put them up for resale at extortionate prices on reselling websites such as stubhub.co.uk
Real fans don't stand a chance. It should be made illegal for anyone to resell tickets for more than the face value. It's pure greed an we need to put an end to this now!
