59050 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Does the Minister agree with Consumer New Zealand that ticket scalping is a "rip-off" for consumers?

Hon Scott Simpson: I am aware of Consumer New Zealand’s views on ticket scalping. New Zealanders should have clear, enforceable rights and remedies when acquiring tickets to events.
