Oasis Reunion. Its finally happening😱

I'm selling my ticket if they're supporting

Why on earth should it be a secret what the price of the tickets are? In all fairness I've been to close to 30-40 gigs this year and I can count on one hand the amount of them that have given the ticket prices in advance which is pathetic, I understand they make their money from touring as streaming has killed physical sales, fair enough understandable.

But they know what they're doing, announce 9am on a monday, you worry all week about getting the tickets, if youra die-hard get the pre-sale access sign up (used to guage demand), you go in and more than likely get thrown the **** seats.

Oasis example, people answered/googled a question, given a code have no issues at all jump in and get each ticket at face value no gouging or anything, next day people hop on who didn't get the poxy email have to pay 3-4 times the price because they wern't afforded the same privilege? I'm all for a free market but that goes out the window when you create a two tier system via a ballot,

if it was a case of no ballot and a free for all, you can't complain because everyone's in the same boat, but when you're creating a two tier system you can't justify it.

I wouldn't actually mind knowing how it works the demand side of it,

• Does a purchase need to be made on the ticket
• Do I simply need to just click on the ticket
• Is it based on traffic to the event
• If a show is selling poorly e.g the black keys did horribly, do tickets go down (they don't….) to a rate where they'll create a demand.

I'd actually be interested to know what the criteria is because you could very easily create fake traffic and automate systems to artifically create demand, it's not difficult to write a script that just hovers on ticketmaster all day long, its absolutley widespread in the case of the Premier League

Ahh in fairness neither your nor me are aware of how much tickets are for any gig until we get to selection screen, up until then its deliberatley hidden from you bar the starting price which you'll never see or their the worst seats in the place, MCD will announce another artists gig tomorrow, they'll state the from price but thats it, I go to the event info and all you'll see is price: EUR and blank…, its hidden from you intentionally.

Again, you fall into the hysteria of FOMO, I know people who paid 1.2k for two tickets who would think twice of paying 70 for a gig its mental, it needs to be clear how the demand is guaged is it from pure sales, traffic or just clicking on it because the latter you can artifically inflate.

Sure for AC/DC in wembley I got gold circle no bother it was 150-170 pounds, i go on 10 minutes later and they are unavailable and then log on later to find they're now 350 pounds, but if I decide i dont want to go I have to sell them for what I paid while ticketmaster can sell that same ticket for 200 more, its just sinister.

They are a private company but the tactics they use are disgraceful, I'm happy in a way I've seen pretty much all the acts I've wanted to see the last 7-8 years because it's just gotten to the stage where the greed is taking over unfortunatley, thats my take.

I'd also like a geo-blocker / grace period to prevent international fans from hoovering up tickets or creating the chaos seen on Saturday (I understand a VPN would get around that to some degree),could use a phone number to establish country of origin etc. I just think for acts that barely come here, it would be great to give us a chance instead of people who have seen them X amount of times, anyway thats my thoughts

Haven’t they said from the start, that they wanted to be rich and commercially successful?

Best way to get rich is making as much money off your fans as possible.

Do we assume no more Irish concerts or are they just planning it out behind the scenes?

Micheal Healy Rae was on Newstalk earlier defending Live Nation - when asked if they have a monopoly he said maybe it’s because they are doing such a good job…utter joke.

What else would you expect from that p***k

someone should let @The Golden Miller know there is a whole entire genre of rock, over 50 years old called “Heavy Metal” - far louder and heavier than the 60s/70s influenced radio pop rock of Oasis -

so much so the big names of Heavy Metal would laugh at Oasis being described as “heavy”.

Dynamic pricing = Touting by ticketmaster and the promoter. Genius company. Lobby government ministers who you have in your back pocket to outlaw touting thus eliminating the competition then engage in it yourself knowing full well you have zero competition. Most companies 99% of them could only dream of lobbying governments to eliminate their competition like ticketmaster.

I can't believe people paid €400 + to see a very washed up Oasis go through the motions in a field. Crazy.

Social media and FOMO are two very powerful things.

I can guarantee you also 99% of people who paid over the odds for Oasis didn't bother their holes to go see Liam Gallagher here earlier this year.

Resale was available a month or two before iirc
