Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Sporting And Recreational Events) Bill 2020: Discussion (9 Dec 2020)

It is bizarre to be talking about Euro 2020 at the end of December but it has been a bizarre year. When does the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Sporting And Recreational Events) Bill 2020: Discussion (9 Dec 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: 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....
