What the petition asks
After the failed attempts of many ed sheeran fans to get tickets, it's clear the issue is the money grabbing ticket touts.
We should make the practice of buying tickets purely to inflate the prices, and therefore put real fans out of pocket illegal.
Put the tickets back in fans hands.
