A website campaign dedicated to creating a cheaper alternative to Ticketmaster concert ticket sales has won the support of consumer groups and the Labour party.
Ticeidi.com is a website set up by "one very annoyed citizen of Ireland who is fed up paying exorbitant prices for 'handling charges' on concert tickets, sports events tickets, etc".
An online petition was created, which almost 4,000 people have signed so far. The creator hopes to present the petition to his local TD and the Minister for Arts, Sports and Tourism Mr O'Donoghue to "demand that they take the matter in hand".
