25 Sep 2025 TicketmasterTicketmaster commits to price transparency following Oasis presale United KingdomMisleading advertising and pricing Order

The CMA objected that, during the Oasis presale, fans in the queue were not told that standing tickets were being sold at two price levels, and that "Platinum" tickets cost almost 2.5 times as much without it being adequately explained that they offered no added value compared with some standard tickets. Without admitting liability, Ticketmaster gave undertakings: advance notice of tiered pricing, price ranges in the queue, no misleading ticket descriptions and a two-year reporting obligation.

What organisations can take from it

Disclose dynamic or tiered prices before purchase; product descriptions must not suggest added value that does not exist.
