I've been considering whether to do this for months.

Now that Radiohead tickets are being offered for huge mark-ups on resale sites (as per our story today), I think the time has come.

We're going to play a game of Catch The Ticket Tout. 🧵

The EU's 'Digital Fairness Act' consultation IS NOW OPEN! With different ticket resale laws in different EU member states, fans would be better protected against predatory resellers with one simple law wherever they go. If you feel the same, make sure to submit your response! ✍️

Sweden is the latest country to consider a ban on ticket resale at inflated prices! 🇸🇪

When will the EU realise that it could make things easier for its members by consulting on EU-wide ticket resale legislation?

Hey @mancity.com - we've just seen you're launching a 'global partnership' with Viagogo. Only earlier this month you cancelled 165 accounts for ticket touting, and suspended 354. Haven't you heard that Viagogo is the biggest online marketplace for touting in Europe? 🤔
