It is understood that Talk Talk Business, who supply ticketing company Ticketmaster with its phone service, wrongly applied the charged to customers who only got an engaged tone.
It comes amid an ongoing "fiasco" with online sales of Games tickets. The ticketing website remains offline after it was suspended due to problems.
