U.K. Government Vows to ‘Tackle Greedy Ticket Touts’ With Clampdown on Resales
The U.K. government is set to hold a consultation on ticket resales following a string of complaints over high-profile gigs.
The government is launching a public consultation on live event ticket sales to look at measures that better protect fans and improve access. The consultation will also incorporate a “call for evidence” to look at the controversial issue of “dynamic pricing,” which recently saw Oasis fans charged increasingly more for tickets as they waited in virtual lines to purchase them. “As part of our Plan for Change, we are taking action to strengthen consumer protections, stop fans getting ripped off and ensure money spent on tickets goes back into our incredible live events sector, instead of into the pockets of greedy touts.”
