Oasis Reunion. Its finally happening😱

What about people who were in the queue and then got kicked out? That happened to lots of people.

That is not the buyers fault. That is definitely ticketmasters fault.

The technology of the ticketmaster is not fit to cope with hundreds of thousands of people at once. The tech on that site is like something you'd see in 2010

I agree they shouldn't have a monopoly.

But whether tickets were available from one of 73 vendors, demand would have been the same. It wouldn't have changed anything.

The "tout being cut out" is effectively meaningless when ticketmaster themselves have taken over the roll. In Demand/surge pricing is essentially touting by another name and should be banned. If that means that every ticket is €200 instead of €150 then that's fine. But prices should be up front and fixed.

But if people will pay €415 for a ticket, that's the ticket's value whether you like it or not.

Tickets for the UK dates are being touted for £1k+ on Viagogo right now. THAT'S where touts get you.

At least this way, the punter is paying less than had they gone to a tout and the money goes where it's supposed to go: to the artists and organisers.

I didn't even get as far as getting the chance to buy tickets for any price. I was just constantly stuck in the queue.

And another thing that annoys me about the queue. They are not clear about the queue. I joined the waiting room at 6.45am

Were the people who joined at 5am , ahead of me in the queue.?

Or were we all allocated totally random places in the queue at 8am

Not getting people falling over themselves to excuse Ticketmaster for dynamic pricing and acting as touts in their own right.

I also wouldn't call it sour grapes. I think you could have a bit more empathy for people who missed out. People are genuinely upset.

These bands only tour once every so often. It can be a once in a lifetime chance to see them

I was a big coldplay fan. I really wanted to see them. I wasn't able to get coldplay tickets. Coldplay will probably not do a tour again for many years.

Similarly, oasis will probably never do a tour again for many years.

So when you miss out on getting tickets, it's not like "oh great sure I'll just see them next year".

Its your only chance to see them In your life and you didn't get it.

Right there are not enough tickets to please everyone, but I can understand why people are upset today

Only the Sun saying '2 more croke park dates'

Scenario A) Touts sweep up all the cheap tickets and sell for 4x -5x the price (As it happening in the UK right now). All excess money goes to touts who will continue to do it for every gig.

Scenario B) Touts are cut out by Ticketmaster and the artists and promoters finding the "true" value of tickets with dynamic pricing. Prices go to 2x - 2.5x the price and excess money goes to the artists and those putting the show on. No money goes to touts

I know which is preferable

I've been neither nasty nor aggressive. Strange post!
