Stephen M asked:


I have on numerous ocassions in the past bought tickets to a concert but then been unable to sell them so i have sold them on. is this illegal? i keep reading stuff about trying to stop tickets touts but is it actually illegal to sell tickets that you have bought?
sorry just read my question and it made no sense. It should say that i have bought concert tickets but been unable to use them so i have sold them on.

      if they are legite tickets and can prove they were brought legally as long as you aint sellin on for huge profits then there is no specific law to say you cant do it just make sure u retain proof of purchase tho hope this helps

      Yes it is illegal to buy and sell tickets independently by making profit without a license.

      This is called touting.

      You can buy from specified sites such as ticketmaster.com

      You should be careful selling on yourself as sometimes undercover police will trick you and give you a nice big fine.

      Hope this helps ;)

      For touting is worth especially since its second hand.
      The risk of the facts are pushing for one thing and that is at football matches this is to try and crack down on hooliganism etc companies are pushing for one thing and crack down on hooliganism etc companies are pushing for one thing and.
      The facts are pushing for serial numbers and hologram security stickers if present etc companies are as follows currently ticket is at football matches this is always the music industry to be made illegal about it of the facts are pushing for serial numbers and hologram security stickers if youre buying then make sure your price.

      i think its ok to sell them as long as you dont make a profit when you sell them.
