Il Regno Unito vieta la rivendita di biglietti al di sopra del valore nominale per gli eventi dal vivo

About fucking time. Chances of this actually happening without some legal loophole?

Okay. Now make the train companies set reasonable prices for their tickets?

Finally now get rid off the insane random add-on fees and everyone wins

Can we do this with Warhammer too lol

Scalpers are absolutely taking the piss whenever something new comes out

> UK ministers plan to ban the resale of tickets for live events above their original cost, in an aggressive crackdown on touts and resellers who sharply increase the price of admission to concerts and sports events.

> In plans to be announced on Wednesday, reselling a ticket above face value will be outlawed, government and industry figures told the Financial Times.

> The big profits made by resellers were highlighted last summer when thousands of Oasis fans complained about the cost of buying tickets to see the rock band this year.

> Some tickets for Oasis shows at Wembley Stadium in London were listed at more than £4,000 — well above their original value.

> New legislation being drawn up by the Labour government will also cap service fees charged by resale platforms to stop price limits being undermined by the addition of hidden costs to a ticket.

> Ministers want to make it illegal for people to resell more tickets than they were entitled to buy in the initial sale, in an attempt to end industrial-scale touting, in which bots are used to buy up vast numbers of tickets.

> The government declined to comment.

> The proposed changes would be a blow to popular secondary ticket platforms such as Viagogo and StubHub.

> Such sites, which have become increasingly popular in recent years, have argued that proposals to limit price increases risk creating an illegal black market for tickets.

> Some MPs and industry groups have also argued this would lead to fewer consumer protections.

> But fans have been left frustrated by intermediaries selling tickets for increasingly high prices. 

> The outcry over tickets for the Oasis reunion led ministers to launch a consultation in January into options for a crackdown, initially focused on a cap at 30 per cent above the original face value of a ticket. 

> But Wednesday’s announcement will go further, with a total ban on sales “above original cost” for tickets to concerts, sport, comedy and theatre. 

> The new rules are expected to shave up to £40 from the average cost of a resale ticket, saving tens of millions of pounds for fans every year.

The elephant in the room is that venues massively underprice tickets relative to the true market value.

Processing fee coming in above the value of the ticket.

And now do the same with any scrapers who don’t have a registered business and don’t pay adequate tax.

Thanks
