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.

[NorthernSoul52]

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

[Suprefan]

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?

It’s a huge scam. I bought tickets today to a show for my daughter. Ticketmaster ‘verified reseller’ price was £63 for a ticket with a face value of £49. A £28 mark up for two tickets. Over 25%!

I managed to buy direct from the theatre in the end for face value with a £3.50 fee fir the pair.

 

ticketmaster are the biggest touts of all.

bit strange for blossoms to advertise it at the end of the show in August if they aren’t playing. 
 

unless that’s the promoter doing and nothing to do with the band.

its a Liam Tweet, when is that ever valid. Noel posted a photo with Metric. Maybe we get extra support acts in north america.

 

oh yeah, AMERICA LIKES OASIS. DO NO DOUBT US

[NorthernSoul52]

Take most LG tweets with a pinch of salt, but Ashcroft and Cast being among the support slate is very much to be expected.

[Euphoricape]

Can't ask for more than Richard Ashcroft himself. The best choice, and am very relieved it's not Blossoms.

[NorthernSoul52]

Swedish Chef noises intensify

[Mardy]

Boys, We're back. Get me two dozen white scarves, pronto.

For all the comedy white scarf memes, Ashcroft was actually bloody good value at BDs this year. Only caught the tail end of Cast but they sounded decent as well

Yep both solid live acts, each have songs the majority of the crowd will know too. Perfect openers for Oasis really, got to be something along those lines rather than new stuff the crowd aren't that bothered about.

Yeah mad to think they were both at BD. Both were sound.

Ashcroft's take on not f**king about with the hits and the Neil Young vocoder story made me chortle. He's not wrong either

Given one of the first places some people heard the Oasis reunion announcement was absolutely coming was on a big screen at the end of a Blossoms gig the weekend before it was declared, I'm kinda surprised they've not been tapped in for these purposes as opposed to really doubling down on the 90s nostalgia-ness.
