Violent Crime Reduction Bill

The noble Lord, Lord Lyell, is describing a situation designed to go slightly wider than simply passing over money for a ticket. It is not designed to catch me passing on my ticket to my son or any other relative. However, some ticket touts frequently offer match tickets as purportedly secondary items in a transaction, as a way of getting around the current law. In other words, you pay £100 for a green and white scarf and get your match ticket free. It has been designed to catch that sort of scam. I doubt whether it is intended to be used to capture the passing on of a ticket to a friend or relative.
