To investigate & then debate the links with ticketing & reseller companies

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the recent ticket sales of Phil Collins' Royal Albert Hall concert.
The tickets sold out within an hour and within the following hour the major resellers all had tickets available at 2, 3, 4 + times the original prices.
This is the most recent example of this highly suspect practice.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. You could start a new petition calling for the regulation of reselling tickets.
