Bundl Welcomes UK Government Crackdown on Ticket Reselling

LONDON BRIDGE, U.K. - Nov. 19, 2025 - PRLog -- Bundl, the event and hotel packaging platform trusted by Live Nation, AEG Presents, Communion One, and major UK promoters, today welcomed the UK Government's announcement to outlaw ticket resale above face value.

The company believes the move will create a fairer, more transparent ticketing market and protect fans from the price exploitation that has plagued live events for years. For too long, touts have profited from artificial scarcity whilst fans have been left exposed to inflated prices, often paying several times the face value with no protection if events are cancelled. This legislation puts an end to that exploitation and signals a new era where innovation must serve fans, not exploit them.

"This is great news for fans," said Mike Bayon, CEO and Founder of Bundl. "Everyone knows fans have been exposed to inflated resale prices with zero protection. This legislation closes that door and forces the industry to innovate in ways that actually benefit fans, not exploit them."

Unlike secondary ticketing platforms that profit from price inflation, Bundl never marks up tickets. The platform packages face-value tickets with hotel stays, giving fans 100% financial protection, lowest price guarantees, and cancellation flexibility.

Here's what fans have been facing: when a major event announces, hotel prices don't just rise, they explode. A typical £133 room will double or treble off the back of a major event announcement. Fans who've already paid inflated ticket prices on the secondary market then get hit with surge pricing on accommodation, often with no refund protection if events cancel.

"We built Bundl to solve this exact problem," added Bayon. "By contracting hotels 6-9 months before events are announced, we secure rooms at pre-surge rates. Fans get fair pricing, financial protection, and peace of mind.."

The platform has serviced 150,000 fans across music, entertainment, and live events, with 83% saying they would book a Bundl again.

"This isn't just a ticket story, it's about the entire fan experience," said Bayon. "Ticket revenue looks like it is now going to be capped. That's good. It means organisers need to create value for fans in other ways, not just inflate prices. Bundling tickets with hotels at fair rates, with real protection, is exactly the kind of innovation this legislation encourages."

Bundl is currently expanding across UK venues, festivals, and international touring markets.
