Ticketmaster “may have misled Oasis fans” with unclear pricing when it put their reunion tour on sale last year, the UK’s competition watchdog has said. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said the company may have breached consumer protection law by selling “platinum” tickets for almost 2.5 times the standard price, without explaining that they came with no additional benefits. “This risked giving consumers the misleading impression that platinum tickets were better,” it said in an update to its investigation into Ticketmaster. More than 900,000 tickets were sold for Oasis’s long-awaited reunion tour last summer. But many fans were left out of pocket, when standard standing tickets advertised at £135 plus fees were re-labelled “in demand” and changed on Ticketmaster to £355 plus fees.
