Ticket touts 'threaten music industry'

A musician has calls for ticket sellers who "force fans to pay hiked-up prices" to face fines or be jailed.

You Me at Six's Josh Franceschi, who has addressed MPs on the culture, media and sport committee, said the touts buy them for re-sale on secondary web-sites which "masquerade as fan-to-fan market places".

In a personal film for the Daily Politics soapbox series from the Alexandra Palace venue, he said some of the music industry had come together under the Fan Fair Alliance Alliance to fight the touts.
