Comment on Reselling tickets for profit to be outlawed in UK government crackdown

You’re intentionally misrepresenting the situation so it fits your narrative

I recently saw my favourite band (over 1M monthly streams) and bought tickets days after they went on sale. I just waited weeks to book tickets to a band with 400k monthly listeners.
So I’m sure it’s not just Taylor swift, but it is the biggest acts, and the ones who sell at under market prices.
None of this affects my actual point, which is that there is a cost to government intervention, and the cost of inaction is that people have to listen to recorded music, or see a different musician, to get their music fix, which is not a big deal. If I’d not been able to get tickets to those concerts, what would I have done? I dunno, something else.
