As we researched this, we found the danger is that secondary sites are often selling tickets they do not have. They are gambling that they will be able to get those tickets and then sell them on at a profit. It is not sustainable and there needs to be legislation. Ed Sheeran was mentioned. I commend him again. He has made the best effort he could but it did cause some problems where a different name was on a ticket-----
