To stop companies selling sports or concert tickets with huge hidden charges.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

I Purchased 2 tickets from Viagogo, original price, £80 each. Upon checkout I was charged £440. I had high pressure sales tactics to pay within 10 minutes. There was no indication of fees until after payment. Viagogo has links on their site for charges but you are not prompted to these links.
I am not the first to experience Viagogo's shocking tactics as this Facebook link will testify to other peoples experiences.

These high pressure sales tactics are underhand and must be made clearer.

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. We're not sure what specific action you'd like Government or Parliament to take.

If you would like to change the law to ban the resale of tickets for more than their face value, you might like to sign this petition:
