The CMA responded to the UK government’s consultation on putting fans first: consultation on the resale of live events tickets in March 2025. The CMA’s response sets out considerations to help government take forward its proposal for a resale price cap for live events tickets, and outlines a model for efficient, targeted enforcement that would help to ensure that any cap met the government’s objectives.
