That was my original point. The artist or promoter is able to set the face value price, but Ticketmaster adds fees on top.

Do you have a source for this? The Ticketmaster FAQ states the artist or promoter sets the base price.

The article states that the government will regulate the fees that can be charged on top of the face value.

Under the plan, which could form part of next year’s King’s speech, anyone selling a ticket will not be allowed to charge more than they paid for it. Resale platforms will be allowed to charge fees on top of that price. These extras will also be limited, to ensure that they can’t be inflated artificially to offset profits forfeited owing to the legislation. The scale of the ceiling on service fees is yet to be determined.

Isn’t it the artist or promoter who set the face value price?

For some people, myself included, drinking is about the ritual and the social aspect, rather than necessarily getting drunk. When I go to a pub, I want to have a beer, but I don’t always want to deal with a hangover the next day, particularly during the working week.

In some ways it’s not that different from people who have decaffeinated coffee. It’s not any cheaper, but you still get to enjoy the experience of drinking coffee.

Thank you for the suggestion. I guess in the scope of Lemmy maybe it’s a little bit niche, but the running community in the UK is growing and growing, so there’s definitely the community for it, just not on Lemmy at the moment.

Thank you! If I do end up creating one, I would like it on Feddit UK, so would I need someone such as yourself to create it for me?

So I’ve thought about this and what I would like to have is a UK focused running community that exists outside of Instagram, which currently is the dominant place for running content, particularly running crews. I’m quite active in the London running crew scene and there are things like shakeout races, community events that only get posted about on Instagram and I would love to share those outside of Instagram.

I’m thinking something like the hashtag #UKRunChat, but as a Lemmy community, that I would happily help moderate and manage.
