  1. > She said: “I’ve been on Ticketmaster for years, we’ve been to see the likes of Adele – **I’m not stupid.**

    I beg to differ.

  2. How do you accidentally pay £2700 for something? The women can clearly operate her way around a website so surely she can read the total amount before clicking pay now.

  3. Regardless of whether or not this woman made a mistake, £500 in fees for two tickets is absolutely criminal, no matter the ticket price.

  4. A secondary market place reselling £90 tickets for £1,100 plus £250 in fees?

    That’s a massive improvement on the old days when there used to be ticket touts.

  5. I get it. She googled Oasis tickets and one of those sponsored ads came up. If you haven’t been keeping track of the news you might not know that you can only officially buy on Ticketmaster. What I don’t understand is why she thought the tickets were £90. 

  6. I love how Ticketmaster have been scum for years but now that they’re ripping off GOOD HARDWORKING ENGLISH OASIS FANS it’s gone too far.
