Overview
- Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Radiohead and dozens of others joined consumer and industry groups in a public call for a legal ceiling on resale prices.
- The coalition includes Which?, FanFair Alliance, O2, the Football Supporters’ Association and organizations representing venues, managers and ticket retailers.
- Which? reported tickets listed at many times face value on Viagogo and StubHub, including Oasis seats over £4,400 and an All Points East listing at £114,666.
- The watchdog also cited speculative selling and difficulties identifying sellers despite a 2018 CMA order requiring clearer trader information.
- The government says it has reviewed responses on a potential 0–30% cap and will set out plans shortly, while Viagogo and StubHub warn caps could drive fans to riskier markets and insist they follow UK rules.
