The report says a Frankfurt regional court granted a preliminary injunction requested by Ticombo, ordering to disclose the identity and address of commercial ticket sellers in Germany before buyers complete payment.
The decision appears focused on transparency rather than banning resale. It applies only in Germany, and the immediate effect on tournament operations should be limited. Buyers, however, could gain clearer information about whether they are dealing with an individual fan or a professional operator.
That distinction matters in a market where supporters can struggle to understand who is standing behind a listing.
’s official secondary platform reportedly charges a 15% commission to both buyers and sellers. Ticombo argues that can therefore earn revenue again when a ticket is resold, while also alleging that commercial sellers have not been clearly identified.
The complaints reportedly extend beyond seller details. They include changing prices during the purchase process, countdown pressure and seat-selection tools that may steer buyers towards more expensive options. High demand for major tournament matches has already pushed resale prices sharply upwards, intensifying questions over fairness and consumer protection.
The wider scrutiny has also reached ticketing connected to the final venue, where complaints about seat locations have reportedly prompted attention from officials in New York and New Jersey.
The German order is unlikely to change ticketing at this tournament, but it could become an important warning for future competitions. Ticombo is reportedly seeking to pursue the matter in Switzerland, while also looking to maintain pressure ahead of 2030, when most matches are expected to be staged in Spain and Portugal.
The next storyline will be whether responds with greater seller disclosure and clearer checkout terms-or whether legal challenges force that change.
