BAN THE RESALE OF TICKETS FOR MORE THAN THEIR FACE VALUE

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Tickets are being bought from sites and getting sold to third party sellers for extortionate prices, meaning real fans are unable to afford it and missing out.
At Glastonbury festival each ticket features the photograph of the registered ticket holder with security checks carried out to ensure that only the person in the photograph is admitted to the Festival. This needs to be done to stop fans missing out.
