| UK-Based Secondary Ticket Marketplaces Fight to Sell World Cup Tickets |

"Supporters of England are going to miss out because everybody else gets to buy tickets in the resale market except in the UK because of this silly law," said Seatwave founder and head Joe Cohen, in the report. "In 2006 laws were amended to extend the restrictions on
football ticket resales," Alun Jones at law firm Reed Smith said. "Any campaign to remove the law
might gain support by consumers who are struggling to get World Cup
tickets via the official Fifa website, which is the exclusive seller.
But the government may not share their view, particularly given that
they have legislated to restrict sales of Olympics 2012 tickets in a
similar manner."
