Senior figures from the world of sports and entertainment Britain issued a call for any new controls on sites that sell tickets to the show.


They wanted a site that resell tickets to the show to publicize the names of the seller and the nominal value of ticket prices. The call was published in the British newspaper The Independent on Sunday (11/01) and signed by the head of sport and culture and entertainment company management.

Ticket seller Reg Walker said ''very sophisticated software" used by scalpers selling tickets to the show's website lets them store large amounts of tickets. Site secondary ticket sales are then charge whatever they want for tickets for concerts, plays and sports activities, and often received commissions from the ticket sales.

British MPs on Monday (12/01) will discuss these rules. Department of Culture, Media and Sport has previously said there should be no change in the rules.
