Oasis Reunion. Its finally happening😱

Appreciate it, however I've been to tonnes of gigs this summer and you'd actually be surprised how many chancers buy these tickets,

I was at Taylor Swift and two women bought tickets for the wheelchair area because you get the companion / carer ticket for free, to cut a long story short they were half cut by the time she came out, annoyed the shite out of everyone and ended up being put into GA standing , tickets are not verified at all anyone can buy them unfortunately

Anyway it's a lovely sunny day. I'm going to have a few drinks to get over my ticket anger!

Are t they in their 50s? It will probably get them over a few more marriages - they’ll be back in their 70s for more 😀

They're just the only game in town and once they had the market, there was no space for anyone to sell tickets.

It's a lot more complicated than that but put simply, ticketmaster is a live nation company, and live nation also own mcd, and also own some venues and have agreements with others. So they're entrenched everywhere. It would be impossible to compete with them.

Want to use 3Arena? Gotta deal with Live Nation. Wanna deal with Live Nation? Gotta use Ticketmaster.

Want to use MCD... See above.

Etc. Etc.

It shows that there are still loads of people in the queue, but it says that tickets are sold out.

I’m getting seated tickets at Wembley for the Wednesday at £490 each 😡

No amount of griping was gonna get you tickets in your case.

Also, they were VERY clear about the queue. YOu go to the waiting room and at 8am you get allocated a random spot in the queue. Doesn't get more fair than that.

Does anyone here know much about Heaton Park?

If I was to make a holiday of it and bring the caravan to a site near it then bring some beers and sit outside Heaton Park and listen. Is that possible in that area?

Why are you so aggressive? Of course people are going to be upset today. Why not let them be upset. My friend just called me saying shes upset that she didnt get tickets. I wasnt nasty to her.

How is a random spot in a queue fair exactly? That goes against the meaning of the word "queue"

In my opinion that is just an excuse for ticketmaster to gouge prices with the "Look over there at what actual tours are charging". It's institutional touting and price gouging whether you like it or not. It's not in the same postcode as a pro consumer move.

The excuses don't wash with me in afraid but you're entitled to your view on it.

No, I don't have empathy. WHy would I? It's only a gig. Who really cares?

I've been an Oasis fan since the age on 10. I've bought each album on release day, I rebought all the vinyls, i'm a fan.

I tried to get tickets this morning and couldn't. By the time I got in, there were only €415 tickets left. i chose not to buy them.

I deserve no sympathy. I made a choice. Ill move on with my life and enjoy a nice weekend. No big deal.

Think this whole experience goes to show that this will be the new norm when it comes to buying tickets at least for these in demand gigs, often joke about these platinum tickets and who would pay those fees, I think we've our answer now, I fail to believe anyone logged on this morning with the intention of spending 1-2k on 2-4 tickets but clearly despite there being a 'cost of living crisis' people seem to have that level of disposable income.

I think they definitley could have made more of an effort to have given fans a genuine chance of getting tickets before the madness today of dynamic pricing, the ballot could be filled out by virtually anyone, why not extend it to people who saw Liam on the DM 30th this year or NGHFB over the years, I've seen both solo everytime they've been here haha and ordered the albums and all that shite,

You can't make an excuse for dynamic pricing, how on earth is it fair that someone who was lucky to get an email has to pay 4x less the price than you for the exact same ticket, not being salty, its just blown me away some of the excuse making for price gouging

Do you think Saying to someone who is upset that they didn't get a ticket

"You just have sour grapes"

And your later post

"No amount of griping was going to get you tickets"

Is.. being kind and empathetic then?

That's an awful take. Nobody is excusing it never mind "falling over themselves" to excuse them.

Posters have pointed out that the prices that secondary touts are charging are far higher and less reliable than Ticketmaster Dynamic Pricing tickets.

Not one poster wouldn't want it gone or said it was a good thing.
