Keir Starmer promet de mettre rapidement fin à la revente illicite de billets

Le Premier ministre britannique Keir Starmer s'est engagé à sévir contre la revente de billets en rendant illégale la revente de places pour des événements en direct au-delà de leur prix initial. Cet engagement figure dans une nouvelle lettre adressée directement aux fans de musique.

Keir Starmer a déclaré qu'il travaillerait avec la ministre de la Culture, Lisa Nandy, pour mettre en œuvre ces changements aussi rapidement que possible. Il a décrit cette mesure comme un moyen de protéger les fans des prix exorbitants et de leur permettre de conserver une plus grande partie de leur argent. Cette promesse s'appuie sur les engagements pris par le Parti travailliste dans son programme de 2024 ainsi que sur une annonce faite en janvier 2025 concernant des plafonds de prix et des consultations.
