Petition · past parliament

Ban all ticket resale sites and make illegal to profit from ticket resale’s

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

GetMeIn, stubhub and such like are constantly selling tickets at hiked up prices, for gigs that are apparently sold out. Sometimes even before sale starts. The fans are getting screwed over and it’s a massive injustice... it needs to stop and needs to be criminalises.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Change the law to ban the resale of tickets for more than their face value
