The UK’s competition watchdog has suspended court action against ticket reselling website Viagogo, stating the company has addressed its concerns.

Andrea Coscelli, chief executive of the CMA, said, “Key information needed to make informed decisions before buying a ticket is now much clearer, including on where you’ll sit in a venue and whether you might be turned away at the door.”
