The Competition and Markets Authority, the branch of the UK Government responsible for preventing and reducing anti-competitive activities, is to investigate Ticketmaster over the sale of tickets for next year's stadium shows by the reformed Oasis.
The news comes in the wake of fan fury over Ticketmaster's 'dynamic ticketing' policy, which saw many fans fortunate enough to get to the head of the website queues confronted with ticket prices far higher than they expected. In addition, fans reported hours-long queues on ticketing sites, website crashes and system errors, as well as instances of prospective purchasers being falsely identified as "bots".
