I have a final question. In the Bill I proposed, it was possible for a person to resell their ticket for up to 10% more than the face value. The reason for that is because people buy tickets and genuinely are unable to attend events. For example, people may get tickets for Christmas or they may buy them and subsequently something comes up, such as a family event, and they cannot attend. The reason behind the 10% element was to ensure that in the case that someone who had bought the ticket and had genuinely intended to go to an event, did not suffer any consequences. If a person is selling a ticket on, they might have to post it to the buyer, or pay for delivery. Is there not a compelling argument for preventing those who have genuinely bought a ticket and intended to attend the event, from being left out of pocket?
