The Government put in place the legislation that led to the Court Order against Viagogo.

Compliance with the order and any necessary enforcement action is a matter for the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and the court itself.

The CMA has now raised a number of concerns with Viagogo and has said that it expects Viagogo to make any necessary changes without delay. If Viagogo fails to do so, the CMA has said that it will return to court to ensure they make these changes.
