Ban Reselling Tickets for Above Face-Value and Dynamic Pricing

What the petition asks
We believe the Government should implement a new law that forbids the resale of tickets for any event for above face value and also bans "Dynamic Pricing".
We think that the UK public are increasingly unable to see their favourite musicians, sports, theatre shows etc. because of ticket resellers selling tickets above face value, as well as the sudden raising of prices through "Dynamic Pricing" and "Premium Tickets".
We believe real fans are losing out on seeing their favourite acts; and that they may be scammed out of sometimes thousands of pounds of their own hard-earned money by those reselling tickets to make excessive profits.
