Imagine being lucky enough to buy 4 tickets that a lot of people did.( why wasn't it limited to 2 tickets per person?) And then listing all 4 tickets on Viagogo for £700 each. Minus Viagogo fees, that could be a nice £2000 profit. Not bad for a few hours waiting in the ticket queue.
Just shows you how hype sells. I have just dug out 2 unused tickets from the last time Oasis played Heaton Park. I could not even give them away.
Are the tickets on viagogo legit?
A wankers trick.Earlier this week, standing price tickets for Cardiff, London and Edinburgh were advertised as £135 plus fees. But angry fans online said they noted "in demand" pricing on Ticketmaster had increased prices to £355 plus fees.
Ticketmaster say they do not set ticket prices.
A link on the ticketing website stated, external: "Promoters and artists set ticket prices. Prices can be either fixed or market-based. Market-based tickets are labelled as 'Platinum' or 'In Demand'."
Ticketmaster confirmed that fans did not get anything else for the price increase.
Oasis and the band's promoter were not commenting on the issue on Saturday evening.
Dynamic pricing is not new and is allowed under consumer protection laws.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) told the BBC it could not pass comment on Ticketmaster's pricing in this instance.
Oasis gigs sell out after scramble for tickets
Some fans faced difficulties accessing websites selling tickets for the band's comeback gigs in the UK and Ireland next year.www.bbc.co.uk
Definitely the bands responsibility, they have control of how tickets are priced. They need calling out for it, but they clearly dont give a shit for their fans as long as they are rolling in the cash.Interesting people coming out saying don't blame the band it was ticketmaster and ticketmaster saying bands have option to deny surge pricing.
Nietger want to take responsibility for being cunts to fans
