General Scheme of the Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill 2017: Discussion
4:00 pm
Mr. Bill Cox:
Our assumption is that the fairly sizable number of tickets that ended up on the secondary market for those two events and for other events came from a large number of people who bought them opportunistically with a view to making a profit.
In addition, some people probably found that they could not attend the event but decided to make a little money on their situation when they offered the tickets for resale.
