Catriona said: “The Consumer Council have previously issued warnings to NI consumers when major concerts and sporting events have sold out quickly, prompting consumers to buy from secondary ticketing sites.

“The CMA will be taking action to ensure consumers are better informed about any restrictions on the tickets they are purchasing, which can lead to their being denied access to the event, with all the disappointment and financial loss that can bring.”
