UK watchdog threatens ticket resale sites with court action http://ift.tt/2n8H8Ui The UK's competition watchdog has fired another warning shot against secondary ticketing websites. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is partway through an investigation and says it has "widespread concerns" about the information sites are providing customers before they press purchase. All of them should provide details about their seats, the person they are buying the tickets from, and any restrictions that could deny them access to the event. Some websites are complying, however the regulator has also "gathered evidence which it considers reveal breaches of the law." It's now asking websites to clean up their act or face legal action. "We will use the full range of our powers to get the right outcome for these sites' customers – including taking action through the courts if needed," Andrea Coscelli, chief executive of the CMA said.
