I f**king doubt theyre the last. Nobody screamed at Dua using it for Wembley. 

Did many people activate it?

I think the main legal change they should do is that prices are released 24 hours before sale (or at time of announcement if tickets are on sale less than 24 hours later) and that if dynamic pricing is active that is made clear as before the sale.

Transparency would be great, knowing what sort of hell you’re getting yourself into and, in yesterdays case, knowing it’s worth spending all day in the queue to spend upwards of £350.

That would be a lot fairer to buyers but the dynamic pricing works because of the way it is implemented. Fans have bought the higher price tickets in the spur of the moment because they didn't have time to think and were fed up of waiting for hours. It is very calculated in how the system manipulates people into buying stuff.

£150 isn’t a lower end ticket!

 

I know it's not but I am pretty sure they started seats around £65 + fees

Just saw a point that the Edinburgh Fringe Festival being on during Oasis' run there feels like chaos waiting to happen.

 

At the very least it's difficult to see how it'll do anything to what are already described by fringe performers as insane accommodation prices.

Same scenario. It goes into effect when its near sell out. Here it is as it currently stands. And its labeled as to why the cost

Ah they did for sure dude and Bruce has found it harder to shift tickets since.

Indeed. It would be interesting to know how many people on this discussion turned down the ‘dynamically priced’ tickets and went without. I think I only read a couple of posts saying they had…

They clearly didnt scream enough to make changes with the government now did they. It kept happening regardless. Because it wasnt of any near "importance" to the general public they dont give a toss.  Mess with a uk artist thats deeply embedded into the culture and everyone wants changes.

Definately and so many acts will engage with fans when they have something to sell but then go quiet inbetween. But if they are going to build these connections with fans then it would be more ethical to treat them better if they indeed care about this.

I suspect they cared at the start and then it became a business. I’m not going to be critical as I suspect it’s the same for many bands. At the end of the day not many bands are  going to admit they are reforming as a business decision and I suspect many of the idealistic fans would prefer them not to be honest.

There was loads of complaining about that. Endless BBC and Newspaper articles, a Yougov poll. It got debated in the Commons in November 2023.

This is such a weak argument. Hundreds of thousands of people protest each week demanding our government to support a full ceasefire in Gaza and guess what, that hasn't happened yet. Just because you scream about it doesn't mean the government will take any action.

Sat refreshing See and GnT for about seven hours yesterday and got absolutely nowhere. Got to the front of the TM queue only to be greated with £350 “in demand” standing tickets that I flatly refused to pay.

 

So I am unashamedly on the hunt for any spares that may come up.

 

I also have a spare for Macca at the O2 in December that I would be prepared to trade for any night at Wembley if anyone is interested.

The UK artist has taken the piss too. Both guilty here. I want changes. We've however wanted changes for years, this has just widened the net.

Absolutely, Oasis could have said no to dynamic pricing but chose not to.

 

Makes their bumpf about resellers look like the empty words they were.

Stewart Lee nailed it as he so often does...

 

The cocaine dealers of Britain are already putting in advance orders so thousands of middle-aged men can stand in stadiums next summer bellowing trivial conversations about f**k all at each other all through the gigs they’ve paid hundreds of pounds to touts to attend

[andyrhodes24]

Good write up here from the BBC on yesterday’s shambles, includes comment from punters, a ticketing body and a current Labour minister.

 

The fella from the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers does not come across well: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2kj3742jxwo

It's no wonder they said the gig wouldn't be televised lol

Does anyone know what time TM will go live with resale tickets tomorrow? 
 

Also, there are thousands of tickets on tout sites, so with TM saying these will be cancelled, do we think thousands of tickets will appear on TM resale tomorrow? 
 

Forgive me if I misinterpreted any info!

No, we think that TM are full of sh*t.

 

There might be a handful cancelled, just so they can say they're doing something. But most won't be, and there's no guarantee they do anything at all.

I reckon if the band's management decide to cancel them, they'll end up in a pot to be resold at a later date, perhaps via ballot or mailing list.
