General Scheme of Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Sporting And Recreational Events) Bill 2020: Discussion

Mr. John Newham:

I note the Deputy's point about the costs incurred. Frankly, it was more about keeping it simple and transparency, so that, for example, if people see a price on a ticket, or are aware that a ticket for a particular concert costs €100, they know that is the price. We decided to keep it at the sale price for simplicity.
