Oasis Reunion. Its finally happening😱

the dynamic pricing is funny , I got my standing tickets for 177 each but if I sold them for 350 quid I’d be considered a ballix. TM sold them for 415😂😂

The prices were stated ahead of time.
They were stated when you got to the payment stage - that's ahead of time.
There is no obligation to publish prices X hours in advance.
You got to payment, you were given the price, you make a choice whether to purchase or not.
So the CCPC is entirely correct that there's nothing for them to investigate.

It's exactly the same as Aer Lingus advertising their winter sale with "Flights to London from €9.99", and when you get onto the website, choose your flights, you see that your Saturday flights are €50 and the less desirable ones on Tuesday at 11am are €9.99…….


And UK prices came from SeeTickets/GigsAndTours from what I remember, nothing to do with any UK protection authority.

That has zero to do with what the CCPC said. Prices are displayed prior to purchase. This is a stone cold fact.

What you're whinging about is a technical issue of a website not being able to function due to the amount of traffic/demand it gets.

The difference is airlines use dynamic pricing to fund cheap tickets. People who otherwise can't afford to fly now can thanks to Ryanair and dynamic pricing.

Starting at 125 and then going up is just gouging and I can't understand why some people are are so staunchly defending it. You are right though there is nothing to investigate but that doesn't make it ok.

Yes €177 in Dublin and £152 for London

Well I'm more concerned for the people who can't afford a dynamically priced ticket and don't press buy. You would hope the bands would also care but obviously not in this case.

I am not defending the practice - I don't believe anyone is - what we are saying is if you don't like it - It's not a life or death requirement to go to a concert, you can decide not to engage, there has to be a bit of personal responsibilty attached to this.

If you hate it that much, boycott the artist altogether.

There are very obviously people with the means to pay and queue up for tickets priced at these levels.

That's mental, but a personal choice.

Waste of 2 grand, amazing what panic buying can do.

Ticketmaster and the promoter played people like fiddles.

You are 50,000 in the que for your €150 ticket, several hours later you are 3 in the que but unfortunately the only tickets available are €450 'in demand' tickets oh and by the way you have 2 minutes to make up your mind.

buy a phone I can clearly see various price levels 

A phone is not a finite commodity. Samsung/Apple/whoever will make as many phones as the market demands and so anyone can buy one at the advertised price.

On the other hand, a concert ticket is extremely finite. When demand massively outstrips supply, there’s no way to meet the demand.

Anyone who has ever bought a house has experienced dynamic pricing. Estate agent puts it up for 500k, house sells for 450 or 550. Book a flight to Edinburgh for a random Tuesday in January then book one for the Friday of the Six Nations weekend. A hotel in Portlaoise in January versus the Saturday night of Electric Picnic… these are far more relevant comparisons for concert tickets. Dynamic pricing is everywhere, it isn’t new, it’s basic free market economics. We’re just not used to it for concerts, that’s the only difference.

If people panic buy just because there’s a timer in the corner of the screen, then that’s on them. Anyone I know who got the option for 400 euro tickets declined it.

how long were you queuing before you secured tickets at those prices?
