Consumer watchdog steps up ticketing probe

Some 235,000 documents and emails have been examined as part of an ongoing probe into anti-competitive ticket event pricing, the body responsible for the inquiry has said.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) said that as well as the 235,000 items, there have been nine summons hearings with sworn evidence given since its investigation began this year.

The examination was so complex that a date for conclusion could not be given, the body said.
