Ticketmaster accused of breaching consumer law over Oasis tickets

Ticketmaster is facing consumer-law charges over the sale of tickets for Oasis's reunion concerts at Dublin's Croke Park.

Ticketline Unlimited Company, trading as Ticketmaster, faces two charges under the Consumer Protection Act linked to tickets sold on August 31, 2024. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission investigated the sale.

One charge alleges that Ticketmaster provided ticket prices in a way that was unclear, ambiguous, unintelligible or untimely, potentially influencing consumers to make purchases they otherwise would not have made. The second concerns the offering of platinum tickets in a manner that could mislead consumers about the product's main characteristics.

Oasis played two sold-out reunion shows at Croke Park in August 2025. In Dublin District Court, Ticketmaster's counsel, Remy Farrell SC, said he expected “the case will be fully contested.” He said about a dozen consumer witnesses and experts were expected to give evidence.

The CCPC requested a four-week adjournment to allow disclosure between the parties. Judge Halpin adjourned the case for mention until October 5.
