CMA Secures Ticketmaster Changes to Clarify Prices After Oasis Ticket Probe

The regulator will monitor compliance for two years under strengthened consumer‑protection powers.

Overview

  • Ticketmaster must give fans at least 24 hours’ notice when tiered pricing will be used for the same ticket type.
  • Customers in online queues will see the full price range upfront and get updates when cheaper tickets sell out.
  • Ticket descriptions must be accurate, with misleading labels removed, and the company has stopped using the “platinum” label in the UK.
  • The CMA found no evidence of algorithmic dynamic pricing during the Oasis sale that triggered the investigation.
  • Ticketmaster will file regular reports to the CMA for two years, with potential enforcement action for failures, including fines under the post‑April 2025 regime.
