What the petition asks
Cap the price on resale websites to 10% - 15%.
With the last few years of Covid-19, as people are now getting back to normality. These gigs and events are critical for peoples health & wellbeing. Being forced to either pay a premium for a ticket during this cost of living crisis or missing out on a social event watching something they enjoy has a detrimental effect.
Personally I’ve been lucky to secure tickets at face value when needed. This petition is for the greater cause! Help normal people attend normal events at normal prices.
