Crack down on eBay World Cup Tickets

sportbusiness:

UK legislation has been extended to outlaw the unauthorised resale of any World Cup tickets. Previously it was an offence to resell tickets for matches involving England, but this now extends to all 64 games at this summer’s World Cup in Germany.

EBay was involved in the consultation process that led to the law being implemented under the Criminal Justice Act and, following a meeting with Home Office officials last week, had offered to introduce its own preventative measures from yesterday.
