The Glasgow Commonwealth Games Act 2008 (Ticket Touting Offence) (England and Wales and Northern Ireland) Order 2012
This Order makes provision which is necessary or expedient in consequence of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games Act 2008 (“the Act”). Section 17 of the Act makes it an offence in the law of Scotland to tout a Commonwealth Games ticket and this applies to acts done in or outwith Scotland. Section 18 provides an exception for certain advertisers. Section 19 enables the Scottish Ministers, by regulations, to specify circumstances in which making facilities available in connection with electronic communications or the storage of data is not capable of constituting an offence under section 17 as it applies in the law of Scotland. Section 20 makes further provision in relation to the authorisation of ticket sales by the Organising Committee under the Act.
