The competition watchdog has told Ticketmaster to change the way it labels tickets and reveals prices to fans following “concerns” over the Oasis concerts sale.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it was concerned that Ticketmaster, which sold more than 900,000 tickets during the Oasis ticket sale, may have breached consumer protection law by labelling certain seated tickets as “platinum” and selling them for nearly two and a half times the price of equivalent standard tickets, without sufficiently explaining that they did not offer additional benefits and were often located in the same area of the stadium.
