Investigation launched into how tickets are sold for live events in Ireland

An investigation has been launched into how tickets are sold for live events in Ireland.

The probe by the Competition Authority comes amid a massive outcry at how tickets for gigs which sell out within minutes can appear on secondary sites at inflated prices.

A number of people in the sector including ticketing services, promoters and venues have been asked to supply information.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has issued a number of witness summons.
