Oasis reunion

They’d better not be over the hill, the better make these gigs really good ones.

And there’s no reason why they shouldn’t. I’ve seen older artists who are much older in recent years deliver fabulous performances (Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen).

I didn’t go to Liam’s recent gigs but he looked decent on the TV at Reading the other week and we saw him there a few years back when he was second on the bill and he was very good indeed; thought he’d given headliners Muse (who I’d seen once before) a real problem but to be fair, they came out honours pretty even, helped by bringing Brian Johnson out to sing an AC/DC song.

As for Oasis being ashamed, they aren’t doing this out of brotherly love, they are in the music business and will have been offered a lot of money to tour. “They’ve sold out man” is very 60’s!

Liams voice is in good shape, he actually sounds better than he did in the 90s

I paid about €375 face value for my Istanbul CL final ticket. Would you have told me not to pay that much for a football match, would you have said I’d gone mad? Actually don’t answer the last part!

Who benefits most?

It's a cash cow and everyone involved will milk it until it's dry. Expect more dates at original pricing with 'credit' being given to the band for 'making a stand on behalf of fans'.

Credibility restored, fans happy, more money in the bank for TM and the band.

The Gallaghers certainly aren't going to complain about getting more money.

As I said in another post, the Gallaghers aren’t doing this for brotherly love, they aren’t doing it for the fans, they are doing it for themselves and not least because they can make so much money from it.

The fact is that they have created the huge demand and are set to reap the rewards.

I would have liked to see them schedule far more dates and charge a bit less but most of all I want to see them play live as Oasis one more time and I want them to deliver a much better show than the last time I saw them at Wembley. I don’t expect Maine Road because we are all 30 years older but they need to be extremely well rehearsed and committed in their performance, like a Pep team.

Surprised they won't be adding any further UK & Ireland dates.

Gutted.

Pretty certain they will do, I saw that story from the Mirror but also ones yesterday saying they were. Wouldn’t take the Mirror one as gospel.

Fingers crossed anyway.

And that is the key thing, the state of both their voices.

Think Liam started taking care of it properly, less fags and booze and has taken actual singing lessons to control his breath better and such. Don't expect an Ian Brown farce where the fucker sounds awful live, he's a polished performer who has been touring regularly. Noel's voice ain't as good but he knows his limitations and it sounds alright.

All over the news over here about Ticketmaster and the price of tickets in the High Demand category shooting up.
I might have the terminology wrong, but how is this legal.
Surely a ticket can only be sold at face value.
I know they are a third party operation but surely there has to be laws and how are any act Oasis or anyone else on board with this.

I paid nearly £100 for front row at Morrissey. I’d never seen him before and it’s one of my favourite nights ever.

People will find the money one off.
 
It's the lack of transparency that is the most nauseating. If they had announced the price when they increased it, rather than the vague message about limited availability and prices, most people would have fucked it off. If you're 50000 in the queue and you know that they are £350, then at least you know what's coming. If you wish to proceed and are happy to pay the price, then more fool the person that does.
It's taking advantage of the most dedicated. After queueing for 8 hours, it puts people in an awful position.

People always find the money for something they are desperate to see.

City in the CL final in Istanbul.

The trip in total cost me over £1000.

To Oasis fans, seeing Oasis play after 15 years is the equivalent. £148.50 for a ticket is a steal to them. Especially if they live in Manchester, meaning they don't have to pay for travel or a hotel room. I'd have paid £148.50 for a ticket, being honest.
