Tickets: Touting
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to bring forward legislation to make it illegal to resell tickets for events above the original face value, as applies in Ireland under the Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Recreational and Sporting Events) Act 2021.
- Answer
-
This government is committed to putting fans back at the heart of live events. We have committed to introducing new protections for consumers on ticket resales, and launched a consultation on 10th January to seek views on potential options. The consultation closed on the 4th April, and the responses are being considered. The Government will respond later in the summer to set out next steps.
