Article summary

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has published its response on 24 March 2025 to the UK government's consultation on live events ticket resale. The CMA supports implementing a resale price cap while recommending a new licensing regime for secondary ticketing platforms to ensure effective enforcement. The response outlines requirements for both resellers and platforms to comply with the cap, and proposes mandatory price verification mechanisms. The CMA suggests platforms should be licensed before hosting ticket resales to enable swift enforcement against non-compliant websites.
