Keir Starmer lovar att snabbt sätta stopp för biljetthajar

Storbritanniens premiärminister Keir Starmer har lovat att slå ned på biljetthajar genom att göra det olagligt att sälja biljetter till liveevenemang för mer än det ursprungliga priset. Löftet framfördes i ett nytt brev som vänder sig direkt till musikfans.

Starmer uppgav att han kommer att arbeta tillsammans med kulturminister Lisa Nandy för att genomföra ändringarna så snabbt som möjligt. Han beskrev åtgärden som ett sätt att skydda fans från oskäliga priser och se till att de får behålla mer pengar i plånboken. Löftet bygger vidare på tidigare vallöften från Labour inför valet 2024 samt ett tillkännagivande i januari 2025 om pristak och samråd.
