Ticketmaster Ireland has been offering GAA county boards cash incentives to sign up or renew contracts with the digital ticket sales agent, internal communications show.
Ticketmaster pledged to pay the rebates and loyalty credits once counties completed signing up. The mail refers to the company as the GAA’s “preferred ticketing solutions provider”.
The association pointed out that not all counties have signed up with Ticketmaster, adding that some county boards can go, and have gone, with other providers for these games. It cannot agree any contract that lasts longer than five years, nor can any of its deals be automatically renewed. The CCPC inquiry’s preliminary findings identified infringements of Irish competition law. Organisations investigated by the commission can avoid legal proceedings by entering agreements that address the regulator’s concerns and govern their future behaviour.
