Ticketmaster has been accused of breaching consumer law over the sale of Oasis tickets for their Dublin gigs. <\/b><\/p>\n
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) accused Ticketmaster of providing prices for tickets in a way that was unclear and offering platinum tickets in a way that would cause customers to be misled. <\/p>\n
Oasis performed in Croke Park on 16 August and 17 August as part of their wider reunion tour. <\/p>\n
More than 900,000 tickets were sold for Oasis’s long-awaited reunion tour when they went on sale on 31 August 2024, but many fans complained<\/a> about what they labelled unclear pricing. <\/p>\n Hundreds of thousands of fans sat in online queues in the hope of being able to buy a ticket for the tour that came 15 years after the group disbanded.<\/p>\n “Dynamic pricing” on Ticketmaster, where prices rise in line with demand, set some remaining tickets at more than \u00a3350 – up from \u00a3135 when the sale began.<\/p>\n At the time, Ticketmaster said they did not set ticket prices, with their website stating: “Promoters and artists set ticket prices. Prices can be either fixed or market-based. Market-based tickets are labelled as ‘Platinum’ or ‘In Demand’.”<\/p>\n Ticketmaster confirmed that fans did not get anything else for the price increase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
