Proposed Law Seeks Transparency in Ticket Pricing After Oasis Controversy

The new bill aims to ensure fans know maximum ticket prices upfront, following backlash over dynamic pricing for Oasis's reunion tour.

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.
