For clarity, I take it Mr. Grace would agree with me when I say that paying above the market price is a bad thing in respect of these tickets. If being gouged on price by these secondary ticket sellers is a bad thing, this is why the Bill is being brought forward and why we have a cross-party consensus that this needs to be tackled. What I find shocking is that we have people from the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation who sound more like representatives from the industry.
