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.

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”
