The UK ’s Consumer Markets Authority ( CMA ) has provided an update into its investigation of Ticketmaster .

The CMA said that Ticketmaster designated certain tickets as “platinum,” selling them at more than twice the standard price without adequately informing consumers that the increased price did not correspond to better seats or other perks.

Ticketmaster is working with Ticketmaster to ensure this doesn't happen again.
