The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent discussions she has had with international sporting bodies on the use of dynamic pricing for major sporting events.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

As a Government we are aware that the UK has a global reputation for excellence in staging major sporting events. These major cultural and sporting events are an important part of our national life.

This Government is committed to putting fans back at the heart of live events, which is why we launched a call for evidence on pricing practices in the live events sector, alongside a consultation on ticket resales. The call for evidence looked at how practices like dynamic pricing are impacting consumers and businesses. We are reviewing responses and will publish the government's response shortly.
