Keir Starmer vows to stamp out ticket touts quickly

한국어

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to crack down on ticket touts by making it illegal to resell live event tickets above their original price. The commitment came in a new letter addressed directly to music fans.

Starmer said he would work with Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy to deliver the changes as quickly as possible. He described the move as a way to protect fans from exorbitant prices and keep more of their money in their pockets. The pledge builds on earlier Labour promises from the 2024 manifesto and a January 2025 announcement on price caps and consultations.
