Proceeding contribution from Lord Higgins (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Amendment) Bill.

London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Amendment) Bill

Again, I am grateful to my noble friend. Would it be all that difficult to have a system in which the box office can take tickets that are surplus? The danger, otherwise, is that we get empty seats, which we do not want to see. I do not ask my noble friend to respond now, but what I have proposed would seem to overcome this problem. Otherwise, we will potentially be imposing pretty substantial penalties on people who are engaging in a perfectly normal exercise of trying to ensure that tickets of which they cannot take advantage are used—and we want them to be used.
