Oasis reunion

What I don’t understand about dynamic pricing is why there wasnt gradual increase if that’s the case, why suddenly jump to £355

I’m not sure how it works in their system but it is suspicious. If it was algorithmically driven the prices would’ve been jacked up from the get go, you’d think.

The fact they rose to a specific number several hours later suggests the £300+ price was a predetermined price break when setting the event up on Ticketmaster. Which of course means it wasn’t an oversight, it was by design.

Impossible to know for sure without having access to their system.

They've said it won't be televised, very clearly.

They could backtrack but that wouldn't be cool.

They may of course release something down the line as the gigs will be filmed.

That could be one way of appeasing the fans after the farcical ticket sale.

Regardless of how Oasis try and sell any further tickets for more concerts, the same people who got tickets for the 1st concerts will try and get tickets again. There will never be enough tickets to meet demand, no mater how many concerts Oasis perform.

At least with 1 televised concert millions of Oasis fans will get the opportunity see them play live, albeit on the TV. It will never replace being at the concert, but it’s better than not seeing Oasis play live at all.

i could imagine Liam being p1ssed off about it but doubt Noel gives a t0ss. Just a very small vox pop on this mornings work call had someone saying they got Edinburgh tickets at face value with only an hours wait, looks like the Heaton Park tickets were the most "in demand" so local fans of the group have paid the highest price with this dynamic thievery.

Heaton Park got hit hardest because the whole venue was "cheap" tickets. The other venues already had tickets priced well above 150 quid. They clearly had an idea of what revenue they wanted to generate but didn't have the bollocks to just advertise them all at 200-250 quid so took the shithouse route to boosting the revenue.

Noel can't wriggle out of this one, no matter how much he tries. He's spent years telling everyone how he was the brains of the operation making all the business decisions. This one's on him.

I’m pretty sure Disney will offer them millions now that they have seen the demand and how many people missed out on tickets.

They have a Taylor Swift concert on the Disney channel and paid her around $75m

How could you come to this conclusion unless you know them personally?

I think only a certain number of tickets are allocated to be dynamically priced so they would only make those available when the normal priced tickets have gone: no one is going to buy them if the regular priced tickets are still available.

They simply take advantage of what has become a narrow market.
 
The whole dynamic pricing debacle has really blown up over here. A lot of negative press.
Personally……. I have no desire to see them, one way or another, but I just see this as legalised ticket touting.
I don’t know how they can complain about people reselling their own tickets for above face value and at the same time sanction Ticketmaster doing exactly that, because depending on what you believe, the band get a cut out of it while they don’t with illegal touting.

At the end of the day, the customer, the fan is being ripped off.

Ticket master have a contract with Oasis. As do the promoters, the advertising and marketing companies etc. The contract they have with their fans should be sacrosanct. I. e. This is the price of a ticket. That’s all you will pay. Other expenses on us are already taken into account.

I don’t like it at all. It would put me off going to a stadium concert, no matter who it was.

Not sure ,they said 14 mill tried for tickets I think a lot were wanting tickets for an event not all will be big Oasis fans.So doubt they'sd all be tuning in to watch on TV,put it this way my son,not a huge fan wanted tickets so he, myself and his sister were logged in trying for him,doubt any of us would watch a televised version. Personally don't even watch TV or video of concerts of bands I like,don't think they come across as good TV, but that's just me.

Why wouldn’t they do that anyway? More millions in the bank.

My opinion of them can't get much lower than it already is after the dynamic pricing shitshow, but if they went back on their promise that these shows wouldn't be televised, it would hit absolute rock bottom.

I don't understand why they promised that and wouldn't want it televised.
 
Is city's queuing system made by the same people? Fairly sure it is.

I know we all like to slag off city's ticketing but recently their queuing system has been spot on.
Get in, issued with a queue ID, either stay in the queue watching it and/or put in your email address and they email you a link to your place in the queue.
You then get an email when you are at the front of the queue and have 20misn to access your link/make your purchase.

Was really disappointed that ticketmaster didn't do this
