Yesterday, Táinaiste Micheál Martin said "there is still time for redemption" for Ticketmaster and that the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) would have a role to play.
Over the weekend the former Executive Vice President for Ticketmaster's European Operations said fans were "stupid" to pay €400 for tickets.
Tommy Higgins also claimed that fans drove up the price for tickets, not retailers.
