Please give us your views
As a person with a spinal disability I have to work for myself as I’m not disabled enough to get any benefits, I buy and sell tickets for a very small profit, I pay tax and national insurance via my small self employed business.

And you want to take that away from me too?

MP’s get expenses but are jumping to stop supply and demand?

Do you NOT sell you house for its market value? Saying oh no I couldn’t make a profit, I can ONLY accept the original build value

Did people refuse to take extra money when 2nd hand cars when up in price by thousands during the pandemic?

But buy a ticket that you can sell for a little profit and people are off their heads oh no, stop people earning! Stop it they’re making a profit

Out local shop buy’s wholesale but charges over a £ for 1 can of pop huge mark up

Ice cream vans are making a huge profit

Oh but buy and sell a ticket and it’s seen as criminal

So you want me to starve ? As not entitled to ANY benefits as I say not disabled enough

11. What impact do you think the proposed measures on ticket touting for EURO 2028 might have on you (as a resident, business or visitor)?

I will get around it as otherwise I’ll starve

Why shouldn’t I be allowed to make money

I take the time effort to find a ticket that others can’t, sell it on

I’m supplying something that someone’s needs just like local shop

Seems you’re only picking on some people and that’s unfair and discriminatory

Why should you fine anyone IT’S NOT ILLEGAL

Selling something for profit that you’ve bought is going be criminal

Well that has to apply to all shops etc

My local fuel station is on a 12% mark up at the mo - when will that be fined?

I can see a law suit coming as I’ll be getting treated diff than other epilepsy buying and selling

Would you like empty seats rather than people pay what they want to pay and fill the Stadium?

Why are you so against someone earning money

15. In what ways, if any, do you think the proposed legislation would affect groups of people differently than others? This might be based on where people live, their socioeconomic status or their protected characteristics.

Please give us your views
You’re saying it’s ok for shops, garages, car dealerships to OVERCHARGE customers but those who buy and sell tickets can’t so creating a two tier system. Some will be fined for doing the very thing that the others are doing but they won’t be fine as it’s not tickets

Wow

Other mega events and events more generally

16. Do you have any further comments about the regulatory context for events in Scotland? In your response you may wish to reflect on how Scotland can maintain its reputation for hosting events.

Transport is rubbish for events

Finishing at hydro after 11pm had to walk to west end

Now living in rural Redacted text there’s no transport at all

Just stop punishing those not claiming benefits but might buy and sell the odd amount of tickets to make money as having a spinal injury but as I can WALK over a fee m”s = no benefits

Try and earn money

Fined potentially if I sell tickets

Redacted text I won’t be able to have any income
