To ban or severely restrict viagogo and sites of its nature

What the petition asks
Viagogo exploit us for our money. Many true music fans are left confused and disheartened when tickets to their favourite artist are sold out in mere seconds. This must stop. Many are left in tears and the only way to obtain a ticket is now to pay x6 of the price. It's disgusting. We must act now
For example a Billie Eilish concert in Birmingham sold tickets for £17.05. All tickets were sold out in 10 seconds. To many people's discovery, viagogo had bought most of them if not all of them and were selling them for £100. This is disgraceful.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We are not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take against these sites.
You could sign this petition instead if it something you would like to see happen:
Make it illegal for ticket resales to be more than 10% of Face Value
