Expert says ‘reason to suspect industrial-scale criminality’ as TGCES lists 306 Sheffield tickets for up to £248 each
The ticket resale website StubHub may have failed to prevent breaches of consumer law on its platform when it allowed a prolific tout to advertise more than 300 tickets for a Lewis Capaldi concert, experts have said.
StubHub and fellow secondary ticketing platform Viagogo are under intense scrutiny from ministers, who are considering whether to ban for-profit ticket resale in an effort to protect fans.
Despite the increased attention, analysis of listings on StubHub indicates the use of business practices that consumer groups and music industry figures and ticketing experts believe are likely to be unlawful.
One company, TG Cyprus Event Services Ltd (TGCES), was listing tickets for Oasis, Billie Eilish, the England v India cricket Test series and autumn rugby internationals, as of early July.
