The UK government has initiated an investigation into Ticketmaster's use of dynamic pricing for Oasis reunion tour tickets. Fans reported prices surging to over £350, with some waiting hours only to face inflated costs. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is examining whether Ticketmaster's practices breached consumer protection laws. The probe will assess the impact of supply and demand on ticket prices and whether consumers were pressured into purchasing tickets at higher prices. The European Commission is also reviewing the practice amid widespread backlash from fans. Over one million tickets were sold for the 2025 concerts.
