Law requires organisers to apply for designation to prevent resale of tickets above face value

Popular concerts and events will not be covered by recently introduced legislation aimed at combatting ticket touting unless organisers and venues proactively move to protect consumers, it has been warned.

The legislation relies on organisers applying for designation for concerts or events to prevent the resale of tickets above face value. If they fail to do so then there is no legal impediment to a person charging whatever they think someone might pay for a ticket. Concerns about the manner in which consumers were being exploited prompted the Government to introduce the legislation outlawing the sale or advertising for sale of tickets or ticket packages at above face value once a concert or venue had designation under the law.
