Oasis Ticket Sale Problems Lead U.K. Watchdog to Threaten Ticketmaster With Legal Action
The Oasis ticket onsale proved to be controversial among some fans. Now, a U.K. watchdog is threatening Ticketmaster with legal action.
However, the sale was marred by lengthy delays, and in March, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) published concerns that Ticketmaster may have misled fans, some of whom paid more than £350 ($477) for tickets with a face value of £150 ($204). In light of this, on Wednesday (July 2), a letter published by the CMA — addressed to the business and trade select committee, which has been investigating ticket pricing, competition and consumer protection — said legal action was now an option. The Oasis tour will kick off Friday (July 4) at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, and run for 41 dates, 19 of which are slated for the U.K. and Ireland.
