The competition watchdog has launched an investigation into the Oasis ticket sales fiasco.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will investigate Ticketmaster’s handling of sales for the band’s upcoming tour, including how “dynamic pricing” may have been used to adjust the price.
Initial excitement about the Gallagher brothers’ reconciliation soon gave way to dismay and outrage last weekend after fans complained that the prices for the 17 shows were increased without warning.
The CMA had said on Tuesday it was “urgently reviewing” the use of dynamic pricing after criticism of the “scandalous” price inflation. The brothers said on Wednesday that they had no input into how the tickets were priced.
