eBay cracks down on secondary sales.
Live industry labels Government's stand on the resale of tickets online "wishy-washy" and "misunderstood"
Auction site eBay has prohibited the resale of tickets to Radio One's Big Weekend event for the first time, as the debate over secondary ticketing continues to rage.
The online auction company has agreed to remove from its site any tickets offered for sale to the event, which takes place on May 10-11 at Mote Park in Madstone, and has set up filters to catch out those who may seek to sell them.
The move is one of the first examples of a ticket reseller agreeing to restrict the practice of selling free or charitable event tickets, after the Government announced in its response to the DCMS Select Committee's report on ticket touting that secondary market operators including eBay, Viagogo and Seatwave had agreed to curb the practice.
Last month eBay pledged that it would force people selling on tickets to charity concerts to donate 20% of the sale price back to the charity.
Radio One and 1xtra head of live music and events Jason Carter says, "The BBC have contacted eBay over the last few years to request that they do not allow the sale of tickets for Radio One's Big Weekend. This year eBay agreed.
"Radio One's Big Weekend is a unique, free, publicly-funded event for young people and we are delighted that eBay are working with us to prohibit the sale of tickets for this event."
