| 21. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 4th Sep 2024. 12:00 It`s things like gigs that show just how much we`re ripped off these days. It`s pure greed, driven in part by these venues milking it. Reply |
| 22. Author: widtink Date: Wed 4th Sep 2024. 13:28 I remember seeing motorhead for the grand sum of £5.60. Also seen slayer for £8.00 supported by nuclear assault. Metallica for £10.50 supported by anthrax. What a gig that was. First ever gig was Saxon for £4.80. All at the playhouse Edinburgh. Last time I seen Metallica it cost me £120 and that was a cheap ticket. 😲 Admin Reply |

| 24. Author: Tad Allagash Date: Wed 4th Sep 2024. 14:07 Gigs were cheap back in the day, but then vinyl, cassettes, and CDs were sold at exorbitant prices. Nowadays, streaming music is basically free. Reply |
| 25. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 4th Sep 2024. 15:38 Streaming is only free if you accept adverts and limitations. I used YouTube music and I`m sure it`s £12.99pm which is basically a CD per month. I`d imagine the costs for streaming are far lower than the cost of making up CDs/vinyls and tapes and distributing them to shops. Reply |

| 28. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 4th Sep 2024. 19:37 Oasis are trying to dissociate themselves from the controversy- In a statement issued to PA Media, the band said: "It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management." They added they had "at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used" in the sale of tickets for the initial dates. The band`s statement came as they announced two further live shows at Wembley Stadium on 27 and 28 September 2025. Oasis said tickets for the new dates would be handed out via a "staggered, invitation-only ballot process". Applications for the ballot for new dates will only be open to those who were unsuccessful in the initial Ticketmaster sale, they added. Reply |
| 29. Author: GG Riva Date: Wed 4th Sep 2024. 19:45 wee eck, Wed 4 Sept 19:37 I would have thought that it was the band`s duty to be aware of what was going on since it reflects badly on them, rather than washing their hands off it with that bland statement. I asked in the OP whether folk thought laws should be drafted to stop or at least limit the exploitation of music fans or whether that would be a step closer to the Nanny State, or whether those daft enough to shell out such obscene sums should just be allowed to get on with it. Well, what do you think?  Not your average Sunday League player. Post Edited (Thu 05 Sep 06:30) Reply |

| 31. Author: Tad Allagash Date: Wed 4th Sep 2024. 21:46 If the nanny state wants to get involved in regulating ticket pricing, they should probably start with train fares rather than concert tickets. Reply |

| 33. Author: widtink Date: Thu 5th Sep 2024. 00:01 Big T Par, Wed 4 Sept 16:53 Ach it was row D so I wasn`t complaining. If course , as soon as the lights went down I was suddenly in row A. It was worth it just to see Cliff Admin Reply |
| 34. Author: Big T Par Date: Thu 5th Sep 2024. 00:30 widtink, Thu 5 Sept 00:01 Did you pay a tout? I was in row A, after camping out for a ticket and got mega lucky. Was mental that night, but not as mental, a week later down in Newcastle. They played the Mayfair and it was absolute mayhem. Fckin amazing. A week later, Cliff was dead 😔😔 Reply |
| 35. Author: widtink Date: Thu 5th Sep 2024. 04:58 Big T Par, Thu 5 Sept 00:30 Can`t honestly remember how I got the ticket or who I got it from. I was still at high school I remember that much. Admin Reply |
| 36. Author: Big T Par Date: Thu 5th Sep 2024. 07:26 Not that it matters a jot mate, but all the tickets were £4.50. Still, paying more than double the original price, is scandalous 😅 Reply |
| 37. Author: DunfyDave Date: Thu 5th Sep 2024. 11:39 Ticketmaster in some cases are controlling the supply/demand of the tickets by giving customers a limited timescale to purchase. This needs addressing. At one venue I was offered "Platinum VIP Seats" for Bruce Springsteen with 2 minutes to accept/reject. I accepted at £650 per ticket. Later, I researched what I had purchased expecting some form of hospitality tickets and was shocked to discover that "Platinum VIP" was their terminology for in-demand ticketing. I had only purchased two tickets with no added benefit and under their rules could not request a refund. Luckily, I found a loophole and requested a refund from my Amex under the "cooling off" rules and was successfully refunded. Then I purchased two hospitality tickets with food, drink and early/late access to the same event for £200 each cheaper. Trust me, Ticketmaster need to be brought to task.

| 39. Author: veteraneastender Date: Thu 5th Sep 2024. 18:52 It cost 25p to watch Pars cup winners v Celtic champions elect April 1968 - now it’s £24 - dynamic pricing times 96 !!! Post Edited (Thu 05 Sep 18:53) Reply |
| 40. Author: ipswichpar Date: Thu 5th Sep 2024. 19:34 That would have been pre-decimalisation though, and average salaries were around 1200 Reply |
