I recently met Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, to discuss tackling an issue that’s been hitting fans for far too long.
Ticket touts have been using bots to grab tickets in bulk and resell them at sky-high prices — turning live events into a cash machine for a shadow industry.
Our Government is putting fans first by making it illegal for tickets to concerts, theatre, comedy, sport and other live events to be resold for more than their original cost.
The UK’s incredible talent should be enjoyed by everyone — not exploited for profit. These bold measures will help make sure fans get a fair deal and can see the stars they love at a fair price.
