Ticombo files antitrust complaint against IOC before the European Commission

TICOMBO FILES ANTITRUST COMPLAINT AGAINST THE IOC AND ITS ORGANISING
COMMITTEES BEFORE THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION TO PROMOTE AFFORDABLE
TICKETS FOR CONSUMERS


 

• Ticombo strongly supports the need for transparency, fairness and competition in
the secondary ticketing market.


• Ticombo’s complaint argues the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC)
ticketing rules eliminate competition, inflate prices and limits consumer access,
which is against EU competition law.


• This complaint highlights the harm the IOC’s controls can cause customers,
restricting the ability to resell tickets freely or find more affordable options on
independent platforms like Ticombo’s.


• Ticombo is calling on regulators to intervene and safeguard consumers from
inflated prices and restrictive conditions that limit their ability to resell tickets
fairly.

Ticombo is represented by the Dupont-Hissel law firm, known for its involvement in major
EU sports law cases, including the landmark Bosman and European Super League cases.
Ticombo does not discard the possibility of further legal action in different jurisdictions.
