With @Keir_Starmer already pledging to crack down on touts, it’s nuts that @viagogo behaves like this: Scots targeted in 'spec selling' scam on Viagogo as con artists rip off fans @FanFairAlliance @PeteWishart dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scots-tar…
Across the pond from Europe, tix to see @kendricklamar are being resold before they go on sale in Arizona – despite the State banning speculative ticketing only eight months ago! Another example of dodgy practice by @StubHub #MakeTicketsFair
Concerned to see resellers&scalpers selling speculative tickets before they have even gone on sale to the public. This directly violates Arizona’s ban on this deceptive practice—the ban we passed under HB2194. Why is @StubHub allowing these listings in violation of state law?

Known as 'speculative ticketing', resellers will list tickets they don't yet possess at massively inflated prices - and fans risk paying for tix that don't exist 😓 With little way to get compensation, we recommend buying from the authorised ticketing platform for the concert!
Scalpers are already listing hundreds of Oasis tickets for shows in NY, LA, Chicago, Toronto, and Mexico City at prices as high as $3,000—before they’re even on sale. These “ghost” tickets aren’t guaranteed, leaving fans at risk of cancellations and no access to the show.
