LONDON, February 19/PRNewswire/ — As you will be aware the DCMS have released the Government consultation document, looking at the ticketing industry, led by Gerry Sutcliffe.
The consultation process will take 12 weeks and during that time you will, no doubt, have questions.
Ticketmaster is in the unique position, not only as the leading ticket retailer in the UK, but as a retailer that offers clients and consumers both primary (through Ticketmaster) and secondary (Get Me In) ticketing options, we would be happy to respond to any enquiries you may have related to this topic.
Chris Edmonds, Managing Director, Ticketmaster UK, said: "As the leading ticketing company in the UK, Ticketmaster has been and will continue to engage with the government, the industry and consumers on the issue of ticket sale and ticket resale. We continue to invest in technologies and platforms to improve the consumer experience and provide the full range of solutions for consumers and our clients. For example, Ticketmaster's Paperless Ticket technology was first used in 2008 by Metallica at London's O2 Arena to prevent tickets entering the secondary market at the bands request. In 2008 Ticketmaster also acquired GET ME IN!, the UK's most popular resale marketplace (source: ComScore), because we believe there is responsibility to offer the consumer a marketplace that delivers greater protection and transparency.."
