A business watchdog has launched an investigation into Ticketmaster’s Oasis gigs sale and is calling for evidence from fans.

The Competition and Markets authority said it would look into concerns over whether buyers were given clear and timely information, and whether consumer protection law was breached.

One line of inquiry is whether fans were put under pressure to buy tickets in a short period of time – at an inflated price.

Sarah Cardell, chief executive of the CMA, said: “It’s important that fans are treated fairly when they buy tickets, which is why we’ve launched this investigation.

“It’s clear that many people felt they had a bad experience and were surprised by the price of their tickets at check-out.

“We want to hear from fans who went through the process and may have encountered issues so that we can investigate whether existing consumer protection law has been breached.”
