Reselling tickets for live events for profit is set to be banned by the Government.
Ministers are expected to announce the plan to tackle touts and resale sites which offer tickets at several times’ their face value.
The Labour manifesto promised stronger protections to stop consumers being scammed or priced out of events by touts, who frequently use bots to buy tickets in bulk the moment they go on sale, which they can then sell on for huge mark-ups on secondary ticketing websites.
Speaking with Popular Conservatism’s Mark Littlewood, Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer says: “There’s been a big outcry over this!”
