TICKETING: STAR shines as candidate to take ticketing issues forward.
Agency aims to push DCMS for live legislation
By Gordon Masson
THE SOCIETY OF TICKET AGENTS AND RETAILERS (STAR) could be handed a pivotal role in any reorganisation of the ticketing market in the UK, following discussions with the Government about how the industry can improve self-regulation.
An extensive consultation into ticketing - and specifically the secondary market - closed on May 15 and the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) is now analysing submissions before presenting the report to Parliament.
However, it seems likely that STAR will be asked by DCMS to lead any initiatives that arise from the consultation, with the expectation that politicians will once again urge the ticketing sector to get their house in order rather than face the prospect of legislation.
"In the consultation document, one of the questions put to people was whether STAR is the appropriate body to manage and develop a code of principles for the events and ticketing industry - no other organisations were named," says STAR secretary Jonathan Brown.The DCMS consultation opened in February when the Government asked interested parties to make submissions about the ticketing industry as a whole, but with particular emphasis on the secondary resale market and ticket touting.
It followed last year's series of summits regarding touting and the secondary market, regarded by some as a waste of time when the Government shied away from introducing new legislation.
