Is called Ticombo the next trouble he will have to face UEFA and it is a platform where you can resell tickets for any show or sporting event. A market where fans can put tickets they can’t use up for sale or buy them if they haven’t found them elsewhere. But a 2013 Belgian law largely prohibits any type of resale of tickets exchanged on the Ticombo platform, clearly hindering the service activities offered by it. A law that according to Ticombo, who is also appealing against it Belgian stateviolates consumer rights and the laws ofEuropean Union on competition.
Ticombo’s statement
And, he underlines Ticombo in his statement, «although it is true that some players currently operating in this market have practices that may harm consumers (see “Viagogo” case currently pending in the French courts regarding the harmful practices of that platform), the services offered by Ticombo are decidedly pro-competition and therefore at the service of consumer well-being. Furthermore, Belgian law gives the organizer a legal monopoly on this resale market (for example Uuefa and other large sports organizers who – for their part – already claim to enjoy such a self-proclaimed monopoly)”.
