SAO PAULO - The Procon-SP seems determined to limit malpractice committed by companies promoting concerts and ticket sales, relating to the sale of tickets. The organization has sent two weeks ago a dossier on the main irregularities to prosecutors.

The most mentioned problems are linked to the existence of quotas for half price and collect the convenience fee. Companies that commit these kinds of abuses were Livepass, Planmusic, Ingresso Fácil and Time for Fun. This last has been fined more than 23 times, while the other received two fines each.

Half-price
The Procon-SP (Foundation for the Protection and Consumer Protection) found that these companies only allow a percentage of the tickets for half price, something that can not be done in Sao Paulo. Moreover, as explained in the law enforcement entity, Renan Ferraciolli, companies charge a convenience fee as a percentage of the value of the ticket.

"The rate should be fixed, for the convenience of the ticket of your own home is the same for all consumers, regardless of the value of the ticket," says Ferraciolli. Another irregularity is found often pre-sale tickets for those who have a particular credit card, for example, which constitutes discrimination.

The director of Procon said that such a review has already been done for some time and, due to the large number of irregularities found, the entity and the prosecution began to work together. The idea is to remove the irregularities, mainly through stricter punishments.

After contacting the report, Time for Fun said it will not comment on the case because it was not officially notified about the dossier. The Ingresso Fácil, through its press office also said it will not rule on the issue.
Already Livepass and Planmusic did not return requests for clarification of the team.
