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.
