The purpose of the Bill is to stop secondary selling. People who are genuinely trying to buy a ticket find that if it is not available, they can buy it seconds or minutes later from a secondary site, often owned by the same company, for exorbitant prices. This is the purpose of the Bill. It is not to provide for everybody and go to every event. That would be illogical.
