Uslu evaluates measures against ticket extortion Related articles

There remains a persistent problem that tickets are resold at exorbitant prices, sees Secretary of State Gunay Uslu (Culture and media), and that is why he wants to take action. The minister plans to come up with a plan in the autumn after studying how other countries are tackling this problem.

Uslu would prefer that European measures prevent the resale of tickets for sporting and cultural events at too high prices. Because if you limit this in your country, companies in other countries where there are no rules can still go ahead. But for the moment it is not possible, wait. Because the topic is not that high on the European Union’s agenda. That’s why he wants to try it first with national measures.

Failed

SP’s Peter Kwint called in a motion late last year for rules to be tightened to prevent tickets from being overpriced. Uslu was against it beforehand. Previous attempts to legally regulate this issue have failed and he feared this would push the issue overseas. Now he wants to work on this, because the PS motion calling for this has received broad support in the House of Representatives.
