Oasis reunion

[york away to this!]

I read a while back that most acts only break even for concerts and make most of their lolly on merch sales.

That was King Kurt, though...

Haven't the artists any say who buys their tickets and sells them? I see they have warned some people not to resell them, are only the official scalpers exempt from criticism?

Some fans faced difficulties accessing websites selling tickets for the band's comeback gigs in the UK and Ireland next year.

Oasis could have opted out of dynamic pricing but choose not to. Twats.

Got on the buying page via Live Nation, but no tickets available for Wednesday. Tried every price. Error code kept on coming up. Different dates mean rejoining the cue. I think Heaton Park is probably sold out now.

 

[Norbert D]

Yeah but then they have to spend 50 dates in each others company!

That’s the known unknown! Will they complete the tour without one of them wearing the other’s banjo!

 

[jrb]

Fuck it, City are on at 5:30pm. :-)

 

[Norbert D]

Once all the tickets are gone they’ll then do a live TV deal for at least a few of the concerts. Either that or listen in your car in the Sainsbury’s car park.

Legalised touting. Nothing more. Cunts.

Gonna apply as a volunteer at the bee keeping centre there, spend a year training the bees to swarm hi vis jackets and release them upon the stewards and cooly walk straight in durrinng the chaos

 

[BlueMojito]

The whole system is shockingly poor. Ticketmaster site a joke. Doubling prices when people have been in the queue for hours is a really shit thing to do.

 

[urban genie]

Get back to having local record shops sell tickets and a box office in town or at the venues, get rid of these rip off ticketing sites

 

[NptonBlue89!]

So Ticketmaster double or tripled prices on tickets after waiting 6 hours to get on but warn about by over inflated prices on re sale…absolute joke should be illegal can’t warranty over £600 for two tickets

Punters need to learn the word no, stop buying shit that's overpriced.

 

[henrythedogcity]

I can't even access my season ticket so I'm fucked if I'm going to try and get these!

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Just been texted off a mate who said City ST holders got early access .
I’m sure it’s bollocks but if anyone knows different .

It’s bollocks but as I said this morning it would’ve been a good bit of marketing for the club to negotiate a city presale, feels like they missed a trick

Once they found out how popular the concerts were going to be they knew how comfortable they were with how much they were going to attempt to rip people off.

You can however only be ripped off if you allow someone to rip you off, in this situation the victim doesn't need to be the victim.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

It's not a legislative problem. The problem is Ticketmaster have said "we can probs get £350 for some of these tickets. Do you want us to sell them at this price if chumps are daft enough to pay it." The band/promoters and management have agreed to it. Bands have the power to stop it if they care.

There’s a reason Simon Moran is worth as much as he is.

Picturing it like the Taylor Swift cinema thing but with pissed 45 year olds called Gaz, fucked on Stella, cocaine and doner kebabs

Just checked Swifts demographics mate and it's an eye opener, seems like those with the money are forcing out the actual people her music relates to . Mind you it isn't a surprise considering the cost of these tickets.

While 45 per cent of Swift's US fans are millennials — like the 34-year-old herself — 21 per cent are Gen X and 25 per cent are Boomers, according to a 2023 survey. That means nearly half of her millions of fans are likely over 45. Middle-aged Swifties aren't shy about their adoration
