The UK competition regulator has launched an investigation into the sales of Oasis ticket sales, including how “dynamic pricing” was used.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating whether ticket selling platform Ticketmaster breached consumer protection law.

Dynamic pricing meant that, on Ticketmaster, where tickets to the reunion tour were originally sold, prices rose in line with demand.

The investigation will examine whether:

• Ticketmaster engaged in unfair commercial practices
• Buyers were given clear information to explain that the tickets could be subject to price rices
• People were put under pressure to buy tickets within a short period of time
