2 weeks agoTicket Resale for Profit to Be Outlawed in United Kingdom
The UK will ban reselling tickets above face value, allow capped service fees on face-value resales, and leave dynamic pricing models unaffected.
Such was the demand, there were over 110,000 users in an online queue as remaining seats for next week's hotly anticipated opening group match at St James' Park went on sale on Tuesday. But it has emerged that 45 tickets for the 18 September fixture had already been claimed by the High School of Dundee, which purchased them after being "approached by an approved provider".
