Work intensifying on UK laws to stamp out concert ticket touts, say sources

The UK government is intensifying work on new laws to prevent ticket touts from reselling concert tickets at inflated prices. This move aims to protect fans from being overcharged for tickets, a practice that has been criticized by many artists and consumers. The laws are expected to target online resale sites such as Viagogo and StubHub, where tickets are often sold at significantly higher prices than their original face value.

Why it matters

The UK government is under pressure to deliver on its promise to outlaw for-profit ticket resales. This move could impact the ticketing industry and affect prices for consumers.
