Section 32 sets out the territorial extent - that is the jurisdiction of which the Act forms part of the law - and application of the Act. Application is where a provision produces a practical effect. The extent of an Act can be different from its application.
As the territorial extent and application differ between the Act’s provisions, commentary set out in these notes on each individual provision (or group of provisions) includes a paragraph explaining its extent and application.
The Act includes one offence, the ticket touting offence, which extends and applies to England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It also applies to United Kingdom nationals and those normally resident in the United Kingdom where the offence is carried out overseas (for example where the offence is carried out online), and to internet service providers established in the United Kingdom.
