Oasis Ticket Fraudster Charged!

A woman in Newcastle-under-Lyme has been charged with multiple fraud offenses linked to the alleged sale of fake Oasis tickets. The 32-year-old faces 11 counts of fraud by false representation and is scheduled to appear in court on December 11.

The charges surface as the UK government finalizes plans to make it illegal to resell concert and event tickets for more than their original price. This move aims to curb exploitative touting and make live events more accessible to fans.

Separately, a Competition and Markets Authority investigation into Ticketmaster's sale of Oasis tickets revealed issues with tiered pricing and 'platinum' tickets sold at significantly higher costs without clear justification. Ticketmaster's parent company, Live Nation, has stated support for the government's resale ban.
