The Commission filed civil proceedings against viagogo AG, a Swiss-based online ticket reseller, in November 2018. The Commission is currently progressing toward a substantive hearing in early 2023. Since filing, the Commission has secured changes to Viagogo’s website (and undertakings not to undo those changes), successfully appealed a High Court finding on its application for interim injunctions, and achieved Viagogo’s submission to the jurisdiction of the New Zealand Courts.
