Maybe in keeping with the 90’s revival, tickets should only be available at the box office or at the local bus station.
That’d stop the pesky AI pricing.

Pretty misleading headline when they’re not hitting out at Ticketmaster. And I’m confused by their statement. They say they had no idea about dynamic pricing then say it’s something they discussed with Ticketmaster beforehand?
“While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations”

>”It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management.”
‘It needs to be clear that we didn’t decide to do this. The people that we hired to make this decision for us and take the blame decided to do this.’

Being hated by the fans for ticket prices is just one of the services TicketMaster offers to bands, who are their real customers. Behind the scenes they are laughing.

I’m surprised anyone is shocked that the Gallagher brothers only got reunited to grift the public

Oasis opted for dynamic pricing, and could still refund those that overpaid by this. They are basically hypocrites.

Introduce a system where the ticket is attached to the original purchaser and add a charge when changing the name
Also AI should be good at detecting mass purchases, have those chain tracked and flagged
But you clearly they profit from it so no need to change

Then have a word with your promoters and ticketmaster to force them to refund everyone that was overcharged. Otherwise it’s empty words.

I don’t agree but would understand the concept of dynamic pricing for say, a fast food chain, in order to manage demand. But for a gig, where all the tickets go on sale at once, and for all major gigs demand significantly outweighs supply, I don’t get the concept. Plus, how are they estimating demand when there’s a billion bots in the queue (probably their own bots, to push up demand!).

‘A positive ticket sale strategy’?
How about I give you a positive go fuck yourself strategy?

The size of the check that makes it worth it to them coming back is in their discretion though. How did they think they were going to get to £400m with a meagre amount of shows?

Surge pricing for concert tickets. In what world will that not be a surge price? Ticketmaster must think everyone who is trying to get concert tickets are fattened cattle ready for the market.

I mean, I really don’t know why anyone is shocked that they’re acting like grade A bellends. Has the past 25 years not been a clue?

It is up to the artist’s management what of Ticketmaster’s basket of products are included in the sale of their tickets
Also the Ticketmaster-Livenation merger should never have been allowed to happen
Collectively they’re most artists’ agents, managers, promoters, own venues or exclusive ticket sale rights for those venues and obviously set the tickets
They own the whole vertical stack
Ticketmaster-Livenation should be broken up

It’s getting pathetic, don’t blame some anonymous back room staff – you knew damned fine it was dynamic pricing.

High demand for low volume items ends up with high prices shocker.

How kind of Oasis of getting us to relive that quintessential nineties experience; realising the Gallagher brothers were complete arseholes.

While we made an absolute fortune so we just need to do these gigs so our kids never need to work

I think I remember Justin bebier held back like 20% of his tickets to inflate and sell in thesesites etc it’s a big money maker. They pretend to hate these companies point the finger and say nothing can do etc but actually they love them.
