  • Ticketmaster will notify fans 24 hours in advance if tiered pricing is used, ensuring they are aware of multiple prices for similar tickets.
  • The CMA found that Ticketmaster did not inform fans that standing tickets had varying prices and will now require regular reporting on compliance.
  • CMA chief executive Sarah Cardell emphasized that fans deserve clear and accurate information when spending money on concert tickets.
