12889 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Has the Minister asked officials for advice on how many tickets, if any, for live events in New Zealand are resold at a price above the original cost?

Cameron Brewer: I regularly request and receive advice on a range of topics. In the interest of transparency, a list of briefings and reports received by my office from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is regularly published on MBIE's website (https://www.mbie.govt.nz/about/open-government-and-official-information/release-of-information/lists-of-ministerial-documents-by-portfolio/commerce-and-consumer-affairs).
