Oasis Reunion. Its finally happening😱

Pop up campsites in back gardens for £400 for UK gigs. Madness.

100% this. They signed off on dynamic pricing and the pricing scale.

pricing is due to all entities involved, i.e. artists, promoters, tm, management, venue owners etc etc etc, its no one entity, but clearly tm are the facilitators, and are operating the actual operation of pricing, but with the agreement of all…

I've tried to rejoin but have been in a queue to enter the site for about an hour now.

I get people are annoyed, I didn't get tickets either, and I KNOW I'll be in the minority here but.......

Dynamic pricing is a superior model to the one we had before: touts buying all the tickets for face value and selling on for extortionate prices.

For years, touts have taken advantage of the fact that the real market value of a ticket is not necessarily what the face value is at sale. They snap them up and resell them for more because that's what people are willing to pay.

If it wasn't for dynamic pricing, I dare say there would be fewer actual tickets sold to people who will eventually attend. Most tickets would be in the hands of the scumbags, who would sell on to punters who have no choice but to pay whatever the scalper wants if they really want.

Today, hours after they went on sale, there were still €415 tickets left from the source. I baulked at the price as did many others.

They're sold now, and the proceeds will go to the band, the organisers and the ones putting the work in, where it should go. And none into the hands of scalpers.

I'll need a heart operation after this morning on ticketmaster 😀

Well, alls well that ends well. Can only imagine the extra dates will be every bit as bad as these were to get tickets for

pricing is a three way conversation. Promoter does up a budget including including artist guarantee, and suggests pricing rates across all ticket types that will ensure profits to cover the budgeted costs. Promoter will send over a venue map and highlight proposed pricing structure and quantities. Agent reviews, makes price and qty changes and then show budget is updated. Promoter inputs the agreed pricing structure and quantities into ticketmaster and it’s ready for going on sale. Now in case of oasis promoter and ticketmaster are both owned by same parent company.
both promoter and ticketmaster get set % on show revenue. So yes it’s in their interest for dynamic/vip etc but not that impactful to bottom line.
Dynamic pricing here isn’t actually dynamic as it’s not constantly changing its more so static prices for certain quantities remaining.

There definitely should be a better way to buy tickets.

What would be a better way I don't know.

But surely they could start to look at other ways of selling tickets, other than this total failure of a system

Perhaps, but the TM prices aren't as high as the scalper prices

Plus this way the money goes to the right place.

I'm not sure what the alternative is. Like it or not, if people are willing to pay €400 then that's the value of the ticket

Money grab or not - it's down to what the market will pay and very obviously there's a big enough market will to part with hundreds of euro for various tickets and "experiences" as we have seen time and time again.

It's also likely that for this particular market they could announce another 5-10 similiar sized concerts and manage to sell those out as well.

The same standing tickets I bought for €167 in the pre-sale are now 'in demand' standing tickets for €415. Disgusting.

Hopefully you're right but it doesn't seem to be happening for Coldplay and that's 4 nights.
