General Scheme of Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Sporting And Recreational Events) Bill 2020: Discussion
Matt Shanahan (Waterford, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I understand largely where the Department is trying to go with the Bill. I am concerned, as I am sure are other Deputies, about interfering in supply and demand. It will cut across the business model of some of the secondary sellers.
How will foreign websites and domains be controlled from trading in tickets under the legislation? In the case of ticket touting on the road outside matches and so on, do the officials honestly believe there will be enforcement to stop that?
