Dear @Keir_Starmer, with AIM’s London HQ and a number of our members based in your constituency, we ask that you #PutFansFirst in the King’s Speech on 13th May, and outlaw ticket touting, fast.
Last November, the Government promised legislation to ban ticket touting. Any delay will cost music fans hundreds of millions of pounds. So today, we're urging @Keir_Starmer to put ticketing legislation into the King's Speech on 13th May. #PutFansFirst
