UEFA European Championship Bill: BRIA

Digital Impact Test

The legislation will make it an offence to tout a Championship ticket, either electronically or in person. This is considered to be important as increasingly there are opportunities to tout tickets electronically, through both public and private methods. The ticket touting regulations provide for certain exceptions to the ticket touting offence – for example where electronic data is only being cached, stored or hosted. As such the Act does take into account changing digital technologies and its aims cannot be circumvented by digital / online transactions.
