Hi @AudreyHobertsHQ - lots of people have no tickets for your show tomorrow, @seetickets haven't sent them
Hi @seetickets - Audrey Hobert's event is tomorrow, and no tickets in my Tickmaster account. What's going on, please?

Today's BBC report on ticket touting is a must-read.
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce3v…
There's lots to unpack, but the following is worthy of particular emphasis.
🧵👇
🚨 Groundbreaking research reveals Ireland’s ticket resale cap as a catastrophic failure, fuelling rampant dynamic pricing with no consumer benefits. The UK’s proposed cap, modelled on this flawed law, risks disaster for fans and fair markets.
Please all find links to our press release which shows new research carried out into Ireland’s ticket resale ban and its lessons for the UK, bearing in mind that proposed legislation for a cap in the UK is based on the Irish model, which it is clear has increased dynamic pricing without the promised consumer benefits. There are big lessons to be learnt from this and the shape of any future UK legislation @CMAgovUK @RhonddaBryant @DCMS @UKLabour @cj_dinenage @RupaHuq @efoody @WhichUK @reformparty_uk @Conservatives @LibDems

A £84.55 André Rieu ticket is priced at £25
A £67.60 Alfie Boe Ticket is priced at £34
A £50.50 Micheal Ball Ticket is priced at £20
A £32.25 Lordi Ticket is priced at £7
No sarcastic comment needed. The prices speak for themselves.
So @NFLUKIRE, how does allowing season ticket holders to access a presale ahead of regular fans ensure that said fans have better access to tickets? Could you not have just allowed holders to use their season tickets for this year?

The real issue in ticketing right now that nobody speaks about - social media fraud. You'll hear MPs moan about touts and the tickets they sell on platforms regulated by @CMAgovUK - but you won't hear a single MP talk about this outright fraud. Why?
Get presale tickets for @jefflynneselo
What they didn't say beforehand, is that the tickets will all be Platinum. And so it goes on, @CMAgovUK
Who watches the supposed watchmen? @RhonddaBryant @efoody
@oasis management, @IgnitionMusicUK, remain as signatories of pro-fan masqueraders @fanfairalliance despite making very clear false declarations.
They are not the only ones and this consultation can't come soon enough.
Great to see such affirmative action from @oasis.
Although surely this headline should read: "Thousands of Oasis tickets unlawfully acquired by ticket touts will be cancelled - and then resold at face value"
