Overview

• Labour MP Rupa Huq has introduced the Sale of Tickets Bill in the House of Commons to address concerns over dynamic pricing in ticket sales.
• The proposed legislation comes after Oasis fans faced unexpected price hikes during the band's 2025 UK and Ireland reunion tour ticket sales.
• Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model, which adjusts prices based on demand, led to significant price increases, with some tickets rising from £148 to £355.
• The bill has garnered cross-party support and aims to provide consumers with maximum price transparency without outlawing dynamic pricing.
• The government plans to launch a consultation on the secondary ticket market, with a review of dynamic pricing practices also in the works.
