Proceeding contribution from Sharon Hodgson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 21 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill.


Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill

I contest that point, because the reverse is true. That body would have released tickets to clubs throughout the country, and they are full of genuine fans—and full of genuine fans who participate in the sport. So that does give people the chance to access tickets and gives kids who play the sport the chance to watch their heroes, without the tickets going on to the open market, where the touts buy them up and sell them on to the highest bidder.
