London: The UK's competition watchdog said Thursday it has launched an investigation into Ticketmaster over how it handled ticket sales for next year's sold-out Oasis reunion tour.
The scramble on Saturday for prized tickets for 17 announced concerts in July and August, 2025, saw sudden big price hikes -- known as dynamic pricing -- which infuriated fans.
The band has since scheduled two more dates, in September next year.
"We are working at pace to establish the precise factual background to the sale of Oasis tickets on 31 August, and we are keeping open all potential options for action," the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) told the government in a letter.
"This includes potential enforcement action where we see evidence of possible breaches of consumer protection law," it added.
