What specific anti-competitive behaviour are you concerned about?
The GAA used tickets.ie for ticketing up to a year or two ago. They must have had good reason to move to Ticketmaster as they normally like dealing with domestic suppliers and service providers. I would reckon that median customer experience has improved since they made that switch.Both Ticketmaster and Live Nation have the same ownership.
I believe that they are working togeather to keep rival ticket sellers from securing opportunity to sell tickets, given Live Nation promote the majority of high profile music events, for example.
The CCPC report was dated late 2021 and Ticketmaster didn't introduce Dynamic pricing until 2022 (just from reading articles on internet) this would have placed Dynsmic pricing as employed by Ticket Master outside scope of report (I imagine).It was.
Most airlines have been doing it for years.
Hotels as well.

Imagine Tesco selling an item for €X from Monday 9am and due to public demand, it went up to €4X by 9.30.
Isn't it very different because there isn't months of demand.I don't like it either but I am not sure why it's different from airlines and hotels?
I benefit from it when I can book my flights months in advance and it costs me if I want to fly at short notice.

Abuse of a dominant position.What specific anti-competitive behaviour are you concerned about?
It's not enough to say that they are very successful and very expensive. I presume that they must do something anti-competitive.
