Sorry if there is already a thread on this
So the government released this report
Government report outlines measures to tackle ticket touts
One of the suggestions being to price tickets like airline seats.
Where I see this idea failing is for the most popular events, they are sold out in minutes
What will happen for those ones (the big ones where this would apply)? People in the first minute pay face value, second minute pay an additional 20% etc etc?
For those ones, the organisers have a pretty good idea that it will sell out quickly, with smaller ones it can be more difficult to estimate (I remember Steve mason being moved from button factory to crawdaddy, British sea power from academy to academy 2 for example)
I think it is a bad suggestion because I feel it ignores the reality of the high demand events
