We fully support the government’s plans to ban ticket resale above face value.
For too long, fans have been exploited by industrial-scale touting that drives up prices, damages trust and locks genuine supporters out of the events they love.
This is a landmark moment for consumer protection in live entertainment, and one that artists, industry bodies and fans have been calling for over many years. Everyday ordinary people are priced out while commercial resellers are bulk-buying to resell at hugely inflated prices.
Twickets was built on the simple principle that tickets should be resold fairly and at face value. These proposals would finally draw a line under the profiteering that has plagued the industry, and we welcome any measures that help ensure tickets go to real fans, not ticket traders who treat tickets as a commodity instead of a cultural experience.
We look forward to working with ministers and the wider industry in 2026 to help make these reforms a success and create a healthier, more transparent ticketing ecosystem for everyone.
