Make the resale of event tickets for more than face value illegal
Closed

What the petition asks
We want the Government to clamp down on ticket scalping. Too many people buy tickets only to sell them for double or triple the price, meaning- some fans miss out because they can't afford extortionate resale prices. Resale for more than face value should be banned, with penalties for offenders.
