UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy criticized Ticketmaster's inflated ticket prices, stating, 'It's depressing to see vastly inflated prices excluding ordinary fans from having a chance of enjoying their favorite band live.' She promised to work on a fairer system to tackle resales and sky-high ticket costs.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer backed the government's inquiry by suggesting, 'there are a number of things that we can and should do' about the ticketing system. He acknowledged that this review may lead to legal adjustments to regulate pricing.
The government's examination of Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model comes after a problematic ticket sale for Oasis' reunion tour, where fans experienced exorbitant prices and technical difficulties. This review aims to address multiple issues concerning transparency and technological influences on pricing.
