Ticketmaster

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 19 October 2022 to Question 61995 on Ticketmaster, what assessment she has made of the potential effect of dynamic pricing on access to cultural events.

Answer

We are committed to supporting fair and transparent ticket pricing and tackling unacceptable behaviour in this market.

As set out in our reply to Question 61995, we believe that ticket pricing strategies are ultimately a matter for event organisers and ticketing platforms, providing they comply with relevant legislation, particularly regarding transparency with customers on how tickets are priced, in order to help consumers make a fair and informed decision.
