The UK government has announced a new law restricting the resale of tickets for public events, specifically those exceeding the face value of the original purchase. The regulation will take effect starting next year, impacting events across the nation. The legislation aims to protect consumers and reduce financial losses for event organizers. It will prohibit private individuals from selling tickets above the standard price, with penalties for non-compliance. The government cited concerns about price gouging and market stability as the justification for the rule. Further details regarding implementation and specific rules are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
