Michael Dugher claims that many fans of popular sport and music events are being ripped off on the secondary market due to ticket touting.
The Barnsley East MP backed calls for the government to introduce proposals preventing the bulk-purchase of thousands of sports and music tickets the moment they are available online
The proposals were defeated in a Parliament vote on Monday.
** The full story is in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated January 16. **
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
