It is not against the law to sell tickets, but for certain events you can only sell the ticket at face value or lower. It is illegal to sell tickets for certain live events, matches and concerts for more than the original price set by the official seller.
Check if this law applies to tickets for your event. 👉
You could be fined up to €100,000 or imprisoned for up to 2 years if you sell tickets for certain live events above face value. 
Before you buy or sell tickets, check if your event is affected by these laws and read more information about buying tickets from unauthorised sellers.Â
