The filthy touting scum in suits have formed a major US-style lobbying group to try and stop Labour's plans to ban ticket resales at over 10% of the initial price.

 

Bear in mind, these are the scummy professional touts who work directly for ticketmaster and automatically transfer tickets from the real sale to the resale before anyone has a chance to try and get them. They're far bigger leeches and drains on the industry than the traditional outside-venue touts ever were, and US-style lobbying needs be smacked away before it can gain any more foothold in this country.

 

Obviously we've got an election soon, but I urge everyone to be ready to write to your MP after the election to highlight this, as touting scum in suits is the biggest cause of ticket price inflation.
