Tom Hayes welcomes measures to tackle ticket touting

Tom Hayes, the Labour MP for Bournemouth East, supports a proposed law to ban ticket reselling above face value, particularly as Bournemouth’s football team aims for European qualification. The Draft Ticket Tout Ban Bill seeks to make tickets more affordable by preventing bulk-buying and inflated resale prices. It could save fans over £100 million annually by ensuring more tickets reach genuine supporters. The legislation will cap service fees on resale platforms, limit the number of tickets resold, and increase accountability for resale websites, enhancing protections for fans against exploitation before Euro 2028.
