Ireland’s competition watchdog has launched an investigation into Ticketmaster Ireland over Oasis ticket sales.
Liam Gallagher and brother Noel Gallagher finally put their lengthy feud behind them when they announced last week that they were reuniting.
Sending fans into a frenzy, the Wonderwall hitmakers confirmed a comeback tour for 2025, on Saturday the series of UK and Ireland shows sold out in less than a day.
Fans were beset with problems getting onto ticket websites, however, from being labelled bots and being kicked out of queuing to some ending up paying more than the advertised price of £148 as costs surged past £355.
Following the carnage – which saw Oasis add extra dates – the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched an investigation into Ticketmaster, including how so-called ‘dynamic pricing’ may have been used.
When dynamic pricing is enabled, prices can fluctuate depending on demand for tickets.
It’s a system that has long been criticised by music fans, with the likes of Ed Sheeran calling it out in the past.
