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 ⁦@PeteWishartdailyrecord.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?

Tickets sold on unauthorised resale sites, at extortionate prices and against the promoter's wishes, will now be re-listed on Ticketmaster at face value. This is a step forward to prevent ticket touting at major events!

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.

The @youmeatsix farewell tour has partnered with @tixelofficial to say farewell to ticket touts! Resale on Tixel is capped at face value + 10% which allows sellers to cover additional costs like booking fees & admin charges. Read more @MusicWeek ⤵️ musicweek.com/live/read/tixe…


Pleased to see that @IronMaiden are capping ticket resale at face value in the UK for their 2025 world tour. What a huge success it would be to see them do the same for the rest of their European dates! #IronMaiden #RunForYourLivesWorldTour #Eddie #MakeTicketsFair

Today's excellent panel at Reeperbahn '24 covered important & relevant ticketing issues, including whether the EU's #DigitalServicesAct is being effectively enforced and if it's now time for a Europe-wide ban on ticket resale for profit! 🇪🇺
