London CNN —Hundreds of Oasis fans are looking back in anger after falling victim to a “landslide” of ticket selling scams. The bank said Oasis fans made up around 70% of all reported ticket fraud between August 27 and September 25. Fans scrambling for tickets have fumed about eye-watering prices and long waits online. Lloyds said its customers buying Oasis tickets on a major UK ticket selling site splashed out more compared with any other music concert over the past three years, parting with an average of £563 ($731) per debit card transaction during the first day of ticket sales in August. That’s higher than the average £342 ($444) spent on tickets for Taylor Swift’s UK tour last year, it noted.

London CNN —Thousands of Taylor Swift’s UK fans have been duped into buying fake tickets for her upcoming Eras Tour concerts, according to a major British bank. With all UK dates now sold out, desperate fans are more likely to turn to resale sites and social media for tickets. Lloyds said it expects to see “many more fans fall victim to ticket scams in the coming weeks and months,” leading up to the first concert in Edinburgh, Scotland. According to UK Finance, a financial services industry association, Brits lost more than £40 million ($50 million) to “purchase scams,” including sales of fraudulent tickets, in the first half of last year. In November, the bank warned customers over ticket scams relating to Glastonbury, the popular outdoor music festival held annually in England in the summer.

Members of Congress are required to file documents disclosing their personal finances every year. But it's easy for them to push that deadline back — this year, nearly 60% of House members did it. Yet most House members didn't meet that deadline. Under current law, lawmakers are required to disclose their stock trades within 30 days — though violations of that law are frequent and often go unpunished. While several bills have been introduced this year to banning stock trading in Congress, the Republican-controlled House has yet to take action on the issue — despite House Speaker Kevin McCarthy previously expressing support for a ban.

The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear arguments in a case challenging the constitutionality of funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The order taking the case came four months after a federal appeals court panel unanimously ruled that the CFPB's funding mechanism was unconstitutional. The Biden administration had asked the Supreme Court to hear its appeal of that ruling. CNBC has requested comment from the Community Financial Services Association of America, the group that challenged the CFPB's authority in the case. The court, in its 5-4 ruling that year, said that the director must be removable by the will of the president, for any reason.
