Happy fathers day to @stubhub and StubHub Support team. Thanks for not transfering my tickets for Bayern game in FIFA World Cup in Cincinnati. Drove 800 miles to see the outside of the venue so far.

A company that isn’t based in the UK. And employs no one in the UK (aside from lobbyists). Most of their suppliers (ticket touts) are also based overseas. Are we meant to be weeping their services to inflating ticket prices?

Earlier this year, Bradshaw Advisory undertook some "modelling" to support the "business model" of ticket touts. Strangely, they forgot to disclose the identity of their funders. Following a complaint to the BritishPollingCounci, that's now been rectified. 👇

Hello GetSafeOnline.org. We understand you’re being paid by viagogo to do their lobbying. Why aren’t you being transparent about this? eg here: getsafeonline.org/personal/news-… All the “research” cited was paid for by ticket touting websites…

Viagogo is paying a company called We Fight Fraud to do their lobbying for them. Real Black Mirror stuff. newstatesman.com/sponsored/2025… They keep citing “research” undertaken by the public affairs agency Bradshaw Advisory. But forgetting to mention who paid for that research

Todd Boehly spent around $780 mil to acquire 40% of @vividseats Based on current stock price, he could sell that 40% for $140 million. Todd Boehly lost $640 million by betting a ticket marketplace that focused on helping scalpers sell tickets whereas most other ticket companies

Maybe NME’s cunning plan is to scam viagogo by taking their money and running (paid-for) “news” articles like this? If not, please hang your heads…. nme.com/news/ticket-pr…

Today’s BBC report highlights - again - why we need well-crafted legislation to protect UK audiences from offshore ticket touts operating from offshore ticketing platforms. That legislation must be built on a price cap. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Hats off to The Daily Record markhmcgivern💜 who highlighted viagogo’s endemic “intefraud problem in December last year. A front page story, evidenced by extensive research from FanFair Alliance - but zero action by Competition & Markets Authority. Viagogo should have been closed down for this.
