As bipartisan issues go, the dreadful state of scoring tickets for a live show is one of the most-talked about. Across the pond, there's some reassuring news on that front: England's government is fixing to ban the flipping of concert tickets for profit.

The nation's center-left Labour Party swore to increase protections against ticket-amassing bots and other scalping. Financial Times and The Guardian have reported that England's ministers are expected to set the price limit of concert tickets at face value, rather than the previously-thought cap of 30% over initial cost. It's worth noting that fees could still be added to the face value maximum, but ticket outlets would be prohibited from offering admission for anything over the cost out of the gate.

Fans have been irritated internationally over surging ticket prices, exemplified by such high-demand tours as Oasis' reunion run. Keir Starmer, head of Labour, has been quoted as promising to "get a grip" on the matter of unaffordable concerts.

Artists such as Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and Sam Fender have campaigned to "restore faith in the ticketing system." Ticketmaster parent organization Live Nation have expressed support for the initiative, declaring that "Live Nation fully supports the Government’s plan to ban ticket resale above face value."
