Motion text

That this House believes that ticket touting benefits neither customers, fans, athletes, artists nor the groups and venues involved in the organisation and staging of cultural and sporting events; notes that ticket touts are people who deliberately purchase tickets for an event in bulk with the shameless aim to sell them at an obscene profit; recognises the efforts of the hon. Member for Washington and Sunderland West, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Ticket Abuse and other hon. Members to end this unscrupulous practice; further recognises the need for individuals to be able to re-sell tickets for events that they can no longer attend; supports the introduction of a cap that would ban tickets being re-sold at more than 10 per cent of their original selling price; and calls on the Government to bring forward legislation that would properly regulate the secondary ticket market to protect fans from the worse practices of ticket touts.
