Ticket Scalping Bill 2018

Legislation Committee· 5 September 2019general_report

The WA Legislation Committee reviewed the Ticket Scalping Bill 2018, finding that while the Bill addresses some consumer concerns, the 10% price cap is contentious and may be anti-competitive. The committee recommends amendments to several clauses, including a reduced statutory review period and clarification on police involvement in investigations.

Impact

Consumers, ticket brokers, event organisers, and the secondary ticket market will be affected by the Bill and its amendments. The effectiveness of the legislation in minimizing scalping is uncertain.
