The most disgusting thing was when you got through to ticket selection legitimately on Ticketmaster after 3 hours of waiting, the £150 standing tickets (which were already pushing it to the absolute limit) where now £380 due to high demand! It was already 40 million in over demand the instant the tour was announced-so literally nothing had changed demand wise at all! How can they expect touts not to put the price up when they more than doubled it themselves! Oasis are not for the working class anymoe with prices like this. This is a tour for the rich and privelledged only-and Oasis are perfectly fine with that. I like millions of others bought the cds in the 90's that made them super rich, I guess that'll have to do.

I've even heard Noel say in interviews that he would do it for 100 million which shows he only has money in his mind and not the fans who have supported them for nearly 3 decades.

They should be made publish their ticket prices in advance of the sale. It's just obviously wrong to move the goalposts and present people with an immenent decision of whether to accept exorbitant prices on the spot. Its fundamentaly obvious that the prices shouldn't be alllowed to change as the sale proceeds.

[@seantinney4018]

I got tickets before the dynamic pricing started today, however it has still left a bad taste in mouth that Oasis, and indeed any musicians would choose dynamic pricing strategy when fans are desperate for a ticket.

[@johnelliott3796]

Its not the bands fault, its the fault of unscrupulous merchants and poor regulation bodies. From utility companies, water companies and every private sheister they are allowed to rip us off.

The Cure managed to stop this and even secured a refund for fans who had paid too much.Paul Heaton fixes ticket prices at £35,00. It can be done.

I had two tickets in the basket then got kicked out for having a tab open on safari. I had started there but realised I wasn’t logged in there, so I went to the app where I was. Apparently that was enough reason for them to chuck me to the back after 5 hours of waiting. Didn’t bother after that

[@TheFerretMan]

Turns out the touts this time are the band themselves? According to Ticketmaster trying to divert blame on their "on demand" pricing

[@iMertin]

Hours to have people spend hundreds for the tickets. These platforms need to go My uncle paid 700 for 2 standing fuckin tickets at Murrayfield I’ll wait and people will sell in the next year

[@yakadoodledongywongy8718]

There it is. The reason tucketmaster will never adopt finger prints to buy tickets and finger prints on the doors in order to sto the touts. Touts drive up prices.

[@shaneb203]

Why is there a monopoly for ticket sales?

[@corbu7584]

If you did buy a ticket today, what additional costs were added onto the ticket price?

[@miguelkeeno3403]

My plan is to let all these people pay silly amounts for tickets then when they are still doing gigs in 2026 because they obviously will I will go watch them for £50

[@PedroMiguel-if3ll]

And then after paying all that money, you can't see a shit cause everyone will be blocking the view with their phones.

I thought they had cracked down on ticket bots and touts, with people going to prison. Pure greed 💵 💵

They will do more gigs in the next few years. Noel has £20mil to pay his ex. Stone Roses did a few years of gigging, I can see the same with oasis. Maybe a new album.

Talking about scams. Why are there ads on this channel if British people are forced to pay a TV licence to fund the BBC?

@@starsecream nobody’s forced to pay it. In typical British fashion people moan about it but pay it anyway. Just don’t pay it. Nothing happens

In the US, if you live in the city where the venue is located, you can go to the box office to avoid some of Ticketmaster fees. My biggest issue with Ticketmaster is when people buy out tickets just to resell them on secondary sites and get some profit out of fans. I believe they should do a better job when it comes to resale.

[@TheFerretMan]

AN ABSOLUTE JOKE! DISGUSTING HOW THE OFFICIAL SELLER HAD TICKETS FOR OVER £350! I EXPECT RESALE FOR THAT PRICE, BUT OFFICIAL PRICE? ESPECIALY AFTER GETTING KICKED OUT OF THE QUEUE AFTER 2 HOURS AND THEN REJOINING!
