control time!!! if the consumer rights are being compromised by the websites in a particular business sector.
Every year the Commission organizes an online raid for hundreds of websites in order to see if they comply with the EU law and impose corrective actions. These actions are called "EU sweeps"
4 sweeps were organized until now and this year the Online Ticket Sales websites were checked (for cultural and sporting events). The results were just published: from 410 ticketing websites, 59% were flagged for further investigations...
So, you had an unfortunate bad experience while buying tickets online, you can start documenting about your rights and the online DO & Dont's by accessing websites like Gimme The Info.
Fight for your rights and your tickets ;)
And don't forget to stop the online BULLying !!! drink a red bull instead ;)
