Oasis Reunion. Its finally happening😱

Are you a Ticketmaster rep, per chance?

yeah, a guy with 12 thousand posts on boards.ie is a ticketmaster sleeper agent who’s been waiting 15 years to spring into action.

We’re through the looking glass here.

But it literally said on Ticketmaster what you got for each ticket. I do agree though that all prices should have to be clearly disclosed before the sale

Today's listening..

I assume you are directing this towards people like myself. You're not the first poster to accuse me of "Supporting Ticketmaster" or similiar.

I agree in your assertion that the vendor should publish a clear pricing structure prior to the tickets going on sale. From 86.50 isn't very clear or fair. Lots of vendors do it - it's a common marketing technique - but in situations like this it is murkey at best.

However, at every point in this process the client has the opportunity to withdraw from the purchase - they are very clearly told, when they get past the queue, what is available and it's cost including fees. At that point they have the opportunity to buy or not as the case me be.

As for the milk anology - part of this is supply and demand, there's no need for a significant queueing system for milk for obvious reasons. And at every point in the transaction you can decide to leave the queue, or not engage in the process at all, or pay what is being asked for what is available at that point.

I'd appreciate not being called a supporter of Ticketmaster as I amn't actively paying into their revenue stream and in them absense of them paying me I am at worst a netral observer (albeit one who engaged in the ticket buying process, got to the top of the queue, was offered tickets for €415 each, and decided against going further)

The competition angle is interesting. People are suggesting the issue is that there's not enough competition for ticketmaster, surely the arguement in this instance is that there isn't enough competition for Oasis, or indeed Croke Park or any number of variables involved in the whole thing.

That's a shame but would probably have been a repeat of yesterday's shambles if more dates went on sale. It's probably for the best as they've managed to upset a lot of people already.

Nah it would of gave more fans a chance to see them and somewhat forget about the shambles yesterday

They don't. Thats the job of the promoter.

You don't seem to know the first thing about how a gig is put on.

A lot of people in here that don't seem to even be aware of the basics of the live music industry and angry at posters for trying to educate them and absolve them of their ignorance.
