I wonder how many exemptions to the rule we will end up getting? Every business can argue being limited to selling tickets at face value will harm them.
Wimbledon itself should set a price for the ‘face value’ sale of these tickets and not leave it to the debenture holders to screw people for all they can get.
If you want a debenture it should be because you want to see the tennis. If you want an investment, do the stock market, not ticket touting.
Why is this not a thing already? It’s illegal in many countries to resell tickets above than their original selling price.
I think that’s the case for football tickets in the UK now.
Why.
What’s the point in doing all this if we are just going to carve out exemptions.
I detest everything about Wimbledon, so this comes as no surprise. They need to be brought in line, so once the the most recent debenture passes expire they become subject to the reselling rules.
I don’t quite get the argument.
You buy one of these debenture tickets for £50k (random number), but if you cannot attend on a particular day, then the price you’d be able to sell it for on the day under the new rules would be that of a normal typical ticket of say £100? Not the equivalent value that you initially paid (50k/5 years/14 days per tournament= £714)?
Is that it?
Of course there will be exemptions for the elite.
What were you expecting. Treat the serfs the same as the rich?
Polanski has a point.
How many events/venues have debentures anyhow?
LTA Wimbledon, rugby at Twickenham and Murrayfield, Royal Albert Hall
Phase out debentures (they’re 5 year arrangements, aren’t they?) and create a premium pricing for rich twats who want to deprive the rest of us of a chance to get onto centre court but at least the pricing will be consistent.
