Osborne and Balls podcast censured for 'misleading' Viagogo advert
The Guardian
|April 09, 2025
George Osborne and Ed Balls read out a "misleading" advert for the controversial ticket resale website Viagogo during an episode of their podcast, the advertising regulator has ruled.
The former Tory chancellor and his former parliamentary opponent, who put aside their past rivalry at the dispatch box to launch a podcast in 2023, espoused the benefits of the "secondary" ticketing site during an episode broadcast in April last year.
Balls, a former Labour shadow chancellor, told listeners that "over half the events listed on Viagogo had tickets selling below face value".
