### What happened
The UK’s Competition Markets Authority (CMA) has flagged Ticketmaster for potentially breaking consumer protection laws by misleadingly pricing tickets for Oasis’s reunion tour.

### Why it matters
Fans reportedly paid more than double the face value for tickets that lacked advertised perks, sparking an outcry over unfair pricing practices.

### Key Takeaways
– Ticketmaster labeled certain tickets as “platinum” and charged nearly 2.5 times more without providing extra benefits.
– The company did not effectively inform buyers about different ticket price categories or the pricing mechanisms.
– Despite some changes, the CMA believes that Ticketmaster’s current adjustments are insufficient and continues to push for transparency.
