Stop ticket sites withholding tickets and re-selling them at extortionate prices
Rejected

What the petition asks
Ticket companies currently hold back a numbers of tickets for big events only for them to appear on their sister websites minutes after a gig sells out for 2 or 3 times the original price. Real fans are left with the choice to stump up and pay or miss out. Modern day touts.
Real Artists should support this.
