Anti-secondary ticketing campaign group FanFair Alliance is urging the U.K. Government to adopt new legislation to outlaw the resale of tickets for profit.
A host of music business companies support the campaign, among them managers and teams for Ed Sheeran, Arctic Monkeys, PJ Harvey, Noel Gallagher, Iron Maiden, Pixies and Biffy Clyro.
FanFair is also urging Google and other online platforms to stop promoting ticket touts. It’s calling on the live music industry to boost consumer-friendly resale services, making it easier for fans to resell tickets for the price they paid or less.
Proposed legislation would mirror similar laws in countries such as Ireland, France and Australia.
FanFair Alliance campaign manager Adam Webb said that despite “substantial progress” to improve online ticket touting in the U.K. since the group was launched in 2016, “it is now clear we need a reset.”
“We need fresh legislation and fresh thinking, ending once and for all the parasitical practices of online ticket touts, while doing more to proactively promote capped consumer-friendly ticket resale. The U.K. is rightly proud of its live music culture, and this is an area we should and could be leading the world."
