Proposed new rules by the UK Government announced this week, will make it illegal to resell concert tickets for live events above their original cost.
The plans will mean an end to ticket touting, protecting consumers from exploitation.
- Ticket resale above face value will be illegal. Tickets can only be sold for their face value plus unavoidable fees including service charges
- Service charges added by resale platforms will be capped, to prevent the new price limit being undermined
- Resale platforms will have a legal duty to monitor and enforce compliance with the new price cap
Have your say. Have you ever ended up buying music or festival tickets for more than the face value?
