The next new petition is PE1380 by Andrew Page, on prohibiting the resale of football tickets. What are members’ views on how to take the petition forward?

This is a serious issue and we should continue the petition. We could write to the Scottish Government to ask for its views on the issues that are raised in the petition, why it has not taken the steps that the petitioner advocated previously and whether it would be willing to take the action requested by the petitioner. We could also write to the SFA and the SPL to ask for their views on the issue and whether they have any measures in place that prevent the resale of tickets for more than their original face value.
