Oasis sale ‘may have misled fans’ says watchdog
Ticketmaster “may have misled Oasis fans” with unclear pricing when it put their reunion tour on sale last year, the UK’s competition watchdog has said.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said the company may have breached consumer protection law by selling “platinum” tickets for almost 2.5 times the standard price, without explaining they came with no additional benefits.
“This risked giving consumers the misleading impression that platinum tickets were better,” it said in an update to its investigation into Ticketmaster.
The CMA says it is seeking changes to the way the ticketing platform gives customers information and how it does so. Ticketmaster has yet to respond to the report.
