Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers
The Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers (STAR), created in 1997, is a United Kingdom body providing self-regulation for the live event ticket sales industry. Its aim is to ensure consumer confidence in the sale of event tickets, and its members are required to comply with a code of practice. STAR encourages high standards of service and reassuring the public that they are buying from a reputable ticket seller when they deal with a STAR member. It has received tremendous support from organisations, venues, producers, and promoters across the country for its work in combating ticket fraud and making ticket buying safer for all. STAR members now represent over 90% of theatre and music ticket sales (over a million tickets per week).
