Oasis reunion

Twitter are saying the prices on Ticketmaster have just doubled.

I read that as "In demand stabbing" when I first read it :)

Can you imagine going in a dealership and saying 'I've seen a car on your website for 5k,I'd like to take a look' and they say 'that's 10k now'
'eh, how come?'
'well we had 2 this morning, we've sold one, this is the last one so it's gone up'

You’ve just described exactly how the new car market works in the US. For popular models the ‘sticker price’ isn’t what people pay, dealers jack up the retail prices to whatever the market can sustain.

It’s also how the market here works for Rolex watches. It’s impossible to get a lot of models at retail price from a dealer so the grey market jacks up the prices.

It’s basic unregulated free market economics.

you live in hope

They've lost one game out of the last, what, 30?

 

[mancboy]

They are already on viagogo at 530, give it 2 months and theyll be 200

Can't mention that mate or you'll get the whataboutery club smashing your back doors in and leaving a calling card in your sphincter :)

To be fair, that’s pretty much exactly how a lot of things do work. Not so much with cars, because you can just go elsewhere. But hotels, plane tickets etc.

Reading the stories on here, Ticketmaster really need an option for “I don’t care what night or venue, just any available ticket”

 

[BLOOMUEN]

What a waste of a morning.
Two attempts. On both occasions got to the front of the queue only to be kicked out and returned to the lobby. Very frustrating.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Sorry to all of you who missed out.

I guess for those of us who did get tickets we’ll see things you’ll never see

 

[GoatersLeftShin]

Got to the front of the queue and then got kicked back to the homepage where I could search for Oasis then asked to login to join a queue... sigh!

Too soon….

 

[jimharri]

Hardly earth shattering news.

 

[Tb1981]

Absolute disgrace
No standing tickets for heaton park but in demand standing tickets are still available
Same ticket but 200 more

 

[Claytop]

Under 5 figures now in the queue, expecting to get to the front and be nothing there.

My wife’s just got to the front of the queue after being 80,000th and it’s gone on the egg timer then kicked her out of Ticketmaster.

Well..... there's always hope

Yup, I’m expecting something along those lines. I was 84k at the start. It’s the principle of actually getting to the front even if I don’t get anything now…
