Ticketmaster trial over prices for Oasis concert delayed

The trial against Ticketmaster regarding alleged misleading practices related to pricing for the Oasis 2025 reunion concerts at Croke Park has been postponed. The case, initiated by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), involves two charges under the Consumer Protection Act 2007. These charges allege that Ticketmaster misrepresented 'Platinum' tickets, which offer access to highly sought-after seats at organizer-set prices, by providing unclear or deceptive information about ticket costs. The trial was initially scheduled for December but has been rescheduled for a later date after the defense requested additional time to obtain an expert report. Both parties have exchanged correspondence, and the court emphasized the need for both sides to prepare witnesses before the new hearing date, which will be set during a listing on November 9th.

Ticketmaster’s trial over alleged misleading practices in pricing for the Oasis 2025 reunion concerts at Croke Park has been postponed. The case, which began at Dublin District Court last month, has been delayed as the company works to obtain an expert report. Originally scheduled for a four-day hearing in December, the trial will now take place later in the new year. Judge Anthony Halpin stated that the case is complex and requested both sides prepare their witnesses before the hearing resumes. The prosecution, led by Ronan Kennedy of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), noted that correspondence between the parties has already occurred. Ticketmaster, represented by Brian Gageby, indicated that an expert report is necessary. The company faces two charges under Section 47 of the Consumer Protection Act 2007 related to tickets sold on August 31, 2024. These charges allege that Ticketmaster misled consumers through the sale of “Platinum” tickets, which grant access to highly sought-after seats at prices determined by the organizer. The defense anticipates calling approximately a dozen witnesses. Platinum tickets provide entry to some of the most popular seating options, with prices set by the event organizers. A new hearing date will be set during the case’s next listing on November 9th.
