Obliterate the Practice of 'Ticket Touting' and the use of 'Bots'!

The Issue

The practice of ticket touting and usage of automated 'bots' has become a rampant problem in the concert ticket industry! Individuals or groups hoard thousands of tickets within seconds after they become available through platforms like Ticketmaster. This act deprives genuine fans of the opportunity to purchase tickets at standard prices. Consequently, fans are left with no option but to buy these tickets at exorbitant rates, often several times the original price.

This unfair practice has persisted for decades, leading to millions of pounds worth of gains for such unscrupulous players, in the name of supply-and-demand. We insist on immediate legislation to enforce stricter rules and penalties to outlaw ticket touting and the unethical use of 'bots'.

We must ensure fair access and pricing for all fans who deserve to enjoy live performances without financial exploitation. It's high time to put an end to this exploiting practice. Sign this petition to help us fight for justice in the ticketing industry!
