The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has issued a response to the UK government's consultation on the resale of live event tickets, which took place in March 2025. This consultation aims to prioritize the interests of fans in the ticket resale market.

In its response, the CMA emphasizes the importance of implementing a resale price cap for live event tickets. The authority believes that such a cap would help to prevent excessive pricing and ensure that fans have fair access to tickets.

Additionally, the CMA outlines a model for efficient and targeted enforcement of the proposed price cap. This model is designed to ensure that the cap aligns with the government's objectives and effectively protects consumers in the ticket resale market.

For any inquiries regarding the CMA's response, stakeholders are encouraged to reach out to the CMA advocacy team via email.
