Musikbranche enttäuscht über Gesetzesentwurf gegen Ticket-Wiederverkäufer

Die Musikindustrie hat ihre Enttäuschung darüber geäußert, dass die britische Regierung am Mittwoch in der Thronrede lediglich einen Gesetzesentwurf zum Verbot von Ticket-Wiederverkäufern angekündigt hat.

Der „Draft Ticket Tout Ban Bill“ wurde am 13. Mai als Teil der Thronrede im Parlament vorgestellt. Branchenvertreter kritisierten die Entscheidung, zunächst mit einem Entwurf statt mit einem vollwertigen Gesetz zu beginnen, da dies ihrer Ansicht nach durch weitere Konsultationen zu jahrelangen Verzögerungen führen würde.
