General Scheme of the Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill 2017: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Bill Cox:

We would have to say that as far as we are concerned, there is no evidence from Ireland of event organisers or the primary ticket seller placing large numbers on secondary market places. There is evidence from other countries that it has happened but there is no evidence from the Irish market. That was not just said to us by the usual suspects such as Ticketmaster. It was said to us by independent observers who would not necessarily have any axe to grind in favour of Ticketmaster.
