Amendments 34 and 35, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Holmes, seek to create a power to specify in regulations technical standards for distributed ledger ticketing records. We share the noble Lord’s objective to ensure that the sale and distribution of electronic tickets for major sporting events are safe and secure. Indeed, that is why we are putting in place a criminal offence for the unauthorised sale and resale of tickets. However, it is up to event organisers to decide what systems and processes they put in place for their ticketing operations, and to ensure that these meet any relevant legal requirements and technical standards.
