New rules to make it illegal to resell tickets for live events above original cost
Music and sport fans will no longer be ripped off on the ticket resale market thanks to new measures making it illegal to resell tickets for live events above original cost
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) investigated consumer protection concerns regarding the sale of Oasis concert tickets by Ticketmaster UK Ltd (Ticketmaster), including how so-called ‘dynamic pricing' may have been used.
The CMA sets out its concerns over Ticketmaster’s sale of Oasis tickets.
Fans will have accurate information about the benefits of different types of tickets and more information about pricing before and during sales.
CMA opens investigations into 8 businesses, issues advisory letters to 100 firms and publishes finalised guidance for businesses.
Gig-goers have been urged to be wary of scams when purchasing last-minute tickets on social media after £1.6 million was lost to ticket fraud in 2024.
