The All Party Parliamentary Group on Ticket Abuse has therefore been pulled together to create as much pressure to support a change in the law on secondary ticketing, especially through members of the public writing to their MPs. This would be a hugely helpful step in persuading MPs that this is an issue that needs addressing.
