Ticketone fined 1.7 mn by anti-trust (3)

(ANSA) - Rome, April 13 - Italy's anti-trust authority on Thursday fined Ticketone for secondary ticketing violations on some of Italy's biggest concerts in the last few years. The concerts of One Direction, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bruce Springsteen, Renato Zero, Adele, David Gilmour, Coldplay, U2, and Ed Sheeran were among those involved in five different probes. Ticketone still has an exclusive on tickets for this kind of events, the anti-trust body said.
    Ticketone said it would appeal to the Lazio regional administrative court (TAR), calling the anti-trust claims that it failed to prevent multiple purchases by Web clients "insubstantial".
