Cleary more popular in the ol' US & A than I thought.

Bit of a surprise, isn't it.

 

Not that I've actually looked at the sales situation yet. For all we know, they might not be shifting like hot cakes.

I'm certainly going to log on at sale time for New York and see if something is possible. Which may be a mistake if tickets ACTAULLY become available to me...

They went pretty fast in yesterdays ballot pre-sale.  Standing tix are more expensive than UK.  Paid $320 Canadian which is around 180 pounds for floors, which is pretty steep considering the support band  (Cage the Elephant) are pish

Tbf £180 is less than some people paid for GA standing when dynamic pricing got involved.

Yep, can appreciate that.  However over here we have dynamic pricing, it's just under another name.  The Oasis general sale is today.  Tickets will sell out in seconds, but a few minutes after tickets are all sold out, they will reappear on ticketmaster under "verified reseller" at an inflated price.  The "verified resellers" are ticketmaster themselves.  The full amount of tickets are never all made available to the public.  Ticketmaster are the buyers and the scalpers/touts.  Why only make $330 from a ticket when ticketmaster can make you $500+ per ticket.  Big artists are just as much to blame as Ticketmaster/Live Nation.

Yeah, the sooner the DOJ nails those f***ers into the stratosphere, the better. (TM, not Oasis.)

Not big here huh. Its not just american fans. Its everyone else who thought this market would be easy to get tickets to the gigs.  I expect everywhere to be gone today. Toronto has single tickets. Chicago prob for sure. Saturday los angeles was gone already. 
 

 

btw, they did their own way of dynamic by just having a third of the venue be vip. $700 standing tickets with zero benefits is just a middle finger to the customer

Managed to pick up a couple of seated tickets for NJ, £90 each once conversions are applied. Happy with that, we were planning an east coast US trip for next year in any case so I guess this just solidifies it for us.

Works out at £535 on current exchange rate.

 

Any tickets to the UK shows get that high thanks to the magic of dynamic pricing?
