Cap fees on ticket resale websites


Cap fees on ticket resale websites
The Issue
Tickets for the Taylor Swift Eras tour being resold on Viagogo have a face value of £65, but website fees of £1300 are being added! This is outrageous and unfair to fans who simply want to enjoy their favorite artists live. Excessive fees on ticket resale websites make it nearly impossible for average consumers to afford tickets. According to a 2018 report by the UK Competition and Markets Authority, secondary ticketing platforms often add up to 30% in extra charges. In this instance viagogo added 2000% in fees! This needs to stop now. Sign this petition to demand that lawmakers cap these exorbitant fees and make concert tickets affordable again!
