| 1. Author: GG Riva Date: Mon 2nd Sep 2024. 08:49 I must confess I`d never heard of this until last weekend when my daughter and her husband queued online for Oasis tickets. They abandoned it when cheapest tickets rose to £350. And what about those tickets which were being re-sold at nearly £6000? Should there be a law to stop people being exploited like this or should those who can afford to pay such crazy money be allowed to do so?  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 2. Author: ipswichpar Date: Mon 2nd Sep 2024. 09:53 I can see both sides of the argument. But I much prefer a fixed price. I thought they made it illegal for the ticket sellers to ramp pricing? So perhaps they are now arguing that if the band is benefiting from the dynamic pricing it`s OK They do it with travel and hotels too....but perhaps not to this extent. More than happy to miss out at those prices. Always annoys me when people build a massive fan base and make a career out of it, but then exploit the same people after. Reply |
| 3. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 2nd Sep 2024. 10:03 A phone-in on the subject has just ended on Radio Scotland. There are some horror stories. One woman wanted tickets for Edinburgh but couldn`t get them so switched to Dublin where she got tickets at face price but then was quoted £800 a night for a hotel room! Does all the extra profit go to the band or is it shared amongst the various interested parties? Reply |

| 5. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 2nd Sep 2024. 14:41 It`s supply and demand but also clear greed. I seriously disagree with having shows in enormous venues and charging through the nose for it. Each to their own, but I`ve no desire to pay hundreds of pounds to be miles to from the band and swamped by thousands of others. Reply |
| 6. Author: veteraneastender Date: Mon 2nd Sep 2024. 16:27 I listened to Simon Calder on Radio Scotland - he explained that the airline industry were originally behind dynamic pricing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0022js9 From the 1:28:40 mark. Ryanair use a benchmark called Seat Factor Active,Yield Passive - first time I`ve heard this term. Post Edited (Mon 02 Sep 16:30) Reply |
| 7. Author: ipswichpar Date: Mon 2nd Sep 2024. 18:04 Think it`s the range of pricing that`s the difference here. I understand why folk want to fill their planes up enough to be profitable and then increase pricing to see if they can make more. I think this is different as they are bound to be making a mint with the ramping. Reply |
| 8. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Mon 2nd Sep 2024. 22:52 I have tickets through the pre-sale due to my business being in the industry. What are we getting here? At this point in proceedings and taking the most cynical viewpoint it seems to be Liam joining the High Flying Birds and them doing Oasis covers. We might get an appearance by Bonehead, but given Gem is on the HFB roster will he be lost in the mix? As a veteran of Maine Road, Knebworth and Wembley as well as sharing a support slot with them before they were signed if it were not easy access to tickets that will ultimately be a tax-right off I doubt I`d be putting in any of the effort mentioned above or indeed parting with the cash due to being a rip-off. if it were a simple case of pleasure rather than business I`m sure I`d be letting younger folk in my business go rather than myself as they seem transfixed by this second coming although for the majority of them they know very little to the point I had blank expressions when I said they got rid of their Ringo for a series of Jimmie Nichols when highlighting the merits of Tony McCarroll. I`m hoping by the time the concerts roll round next year my misanthropy will have dissipated somewhat and I`ll enjoy attending the fundraisers for Noel`s Superyacht.  Reply |
| 9. Author: Big T Par Date: Mon 2nd Sep 2024. 23:26 Saw them once, at the corn exchange in Edinburgh. Absolutely awful. They couldn`t have look more bored or wanting to be anywhere else but on stage, if they tried. Reply |
| 10. Author: PARrot Date: Tue 3rd Sep 2024. 09:20 I will never understand the hype about Oasis. I think they are utter crap and thoroughly dislikeable people.  Reply |
| 11. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 3rd Sep 2024. 14:07 PARrot, Tue 3 Sept 09:20 Agree. No better than loads of indie bands at the time but they seemed to win the popular vote by being seen as representing the working class. Song wise Pulp, Blur, Radiohead, James, OCS, Stereophonics and many others have far stronger back catalogues. Reply |
| 12. Author: Parboiled Date: Tue 3rd Sep 2024. 15:14 If they’d been around in the Sixties you’d never of heard of them. In fact we’ve only ever heard them because they copied so much stuff from that era. And they’re boring with it Reply |
| 13. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Tue 3rd Sep 2024. 17:24 Topic Originator: jake89 like Those bands fans will never be the victims of "dynamic pricing" because millions of people will never try to get tickets for their gigs, their songs are just not popular enough even though they do have some cracking songs. Vox Populi. Reply |
| 14. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 3rd Sep 2024. 17:44 Wasn`t suggesting they would be. I was agreeing with the comment that Oasis are incredibly overrated. I believe the likes of Ed Sheeran, who has sold twice as many records as Oasis ever have, doesn`t use dynamic pricing. It`s a massive error of judgement for the band that`s supposed to represent the common man. Reply |

| 17. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Wed 4th Sep 2024. 07:40 How much money do Ticketmaster make from admin fees, when the majority print off their own tickets?  It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
| 18. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 4th Sep 2024. 08:23 They still provide the selling platform regardless of if the ticket is posted or not. Reply |
