Tickets: Fees and Charges
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of commissioning a review into event booking fees.
Answered by Chris Bryant
On 10 January, the Government launched a call for evidence on pricing practices in the live events sector, which closes on 4 April 2025.
It is important that consumers experience openness and transparency when buying tickets. We are seeking evidence on the impact of current pricing practices on consumers and businesses and whether the current legal framework provides sufficient protection. We encourage responses, including on issues such as booking fees.
