Oasis Reunion. Its finally happening😱

I'd be one of the originals. Can't remember last time I listened to Coldplay. They are like a different band now.

Oasis similar. 2 albums in , and utter boring afterwards

Agree. It always seems to the posters who have loads to write that condone Ticketmasters behaviour.

Wouldn't be surprised if they had vested interests tbh.

Never go to something bandwagoners want to go to, one of the rules I live by. I saw Liam this year in 3 arena for 80 euro, I bet that was a better gig than what will follow in Croke park.

We are talking about regulation of businesses.

The very large irish company that I work for gets heavily regulated and audited every year for business practices.

We are checked on the following things:

We must give certain information to customers before they buy a product.

We are not allowed to provide misleading information to customers

We have to declare conflict of interests.

We have to follow many fair standards practices set out by different regulations which protect customers .

That's why I can't understand how ticketmaster are not being regulated. They seem to have a lot of conflicts of interest, which are affecting customers negatively.

There is now a video on the front page of RTE news today where they are calling for ticketmaster to be investigated.

it'll be a grand day out for all the parishes.

Retired Ticketmaster exec on Anton savage show a few mins ago.
Very bullish and assertive in supporting ticketmaster

he said Ticketmaster is basically a revenue collection agency that takes its orders from the promoter of the concert

Said the issue with oasis using dynamic pricing is not ticketmaster at all - ticketmaster simply does what the promoter asks - blame them and Oasis basically.

Eff you greedy Gallagher brothers!!!

Surely it’s the band/promoter who decides on pricing and availability, they have the option of selling the tickets with fixed/dynamic pricing, and obviously the band/promoter earn more if demand pushes up prices if they make the choice to use dynamic pricing.

I think your angst may be misplaced if it’s on cost/availability, certainly Ticketmaster should make it harder for bots to buy tickets, but sites often have to catch up with programmers who design these bots, after the fact.

I wouldn’t pay 400 for a standing ticket even if it was Elvis himself back from the dead with the Vegas band.

As I said, I have no issues with them being investigated for advertising practices, providing transparent pricing prior to tickets going on sale and any other thing you think might be of benefit. But ultimately the issue people really have is that there weren't enough tickets on sale to satisfy demand and some of those that were on sale were far too expensive. But it still sold out.

Again, your company are not told how to set its prices, which again, appears to be what a lot of people are looking for here

Ticketmaster are still a large part of the problem. No competition.

And the musicians pay their bills, so why would Ticketmaster want to change the system unless forced to.
