British music stars urge Starmer to tackle ‘pernicious’ ticket tout websites

A group of prominent British music artists, including Radiohead, Dua Lipa, and Coldplay, have called on Labour leader Keir Starmer to address the issue of ticket tout websites, which they describe as 'extortionate and pernicious.' These artists, who have collectively sold over half a billion albums, are advocating for a cap on resale prices to protect fans from exploitation by secondary ticketing platforms like Viagogo and StubHub. This plea highlights the ongoing concern about how ticket reselling practices can harm music fans and the integrity of live events.
