Breaking News: Dua Lipa, Coldplay Demand Action Against Touts Fleecing Fans
Pop stars Dua Lipa and Coldplay are leading a call for action against ticket touts who are selling concert tickets at vastly inflated prices. The artists, along with over 40 other musicians, have signed a letter urging UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to cap the price of resold tickets.
Fans are being "ripped off" by touts who are buying up tickets on the primary market and reselling them at often hugely inflated prices. Research by Which? magazine found that some tickets to see Oasis at Wembley Stadium this summer were listed for as much as £4,442.
The government launched a public consultation on the issue in January, but there has been no indication of when legislation might be introduced. The artists are demanding that the government honour its election promise to protect fans from online ticket touts.
This is a developing story, with no immediate response from the government. The artists are calling for urgent action to prevent fans from being taken advantage of by touts. We will continue to bring you updates as more information becomes available.
