Oasis reunion in 2025?, by thisisthesam on Sept 2, 2024 14:56:46 GMT 1, I am located in Canada and have been faced with this 'dynamic pricing' bullshit a few times in the past couple of years. I refuse to participate. I'll forego seeing the show before I cave in to this practice. Most artists have presales a couple of days before the tickets go on general sale. You simply need to register to their mailing list to get the presale code in your inbox. That's how I go about it these days to get tickets at face value. Although I don't believe there was such a thing as a 'mailing list presale' in this particular case. Another thing Ticketmaster and the like have put in place is non-transferable tickets, which is equally frustrating. Not so long ago I bought tickets to a show which I couldn't attend. I couldn't even offer them to a friend for free and transfer them. The tickets went to waste. I get why they are putting these measures into place. They want the tickets to remain in the hands of the 'true fans' and counter reselling at inflated prices but they just end up pissing off the same 'true fans' with their measures. And even when they allow resale at face value through the site where the tickets were purchased, some promoters will not turn the feature on until the show is sold out. So you can't even try to sell them at a discount if you can't make it to the show. Anyhow... No hope to see Oasis here. If they do come to Canada it will be in Toronto, the demand for tickets will be insane and the sale will no doubt be as messy as it was in the UK. Plus, dynamic pricing. I won't touch it with a ten foot pole. Rant over! This is the third post on the thread so I tried to give everyone a heads up about the mailing list as I suspected there would be a presale. Iโm sure this helped people get tickets on Friday.  Dynamic pricing is nothing new or just for large music concerts. I buy a lot of stand up comedy tickets for large venues and there are always the premium tickets on sale. I quickly learnt to be one step ahead and aim to buy before public sale.
Your post sorted me out with tickets on the friday pre-sale... Thank you!
Managed to get another 4 in general sale so a big day out with friends. Can't wait.

Oasis reunion in 2025?, by met on Sept 2, 2024 18:48:31 GMT 1, 'Phantom' sounds like one or two members on this message board. 
Thank you for posting.
That gave me a good chuckle.
At the same time, I am left with a feeling of mild despondency and renewed irritation over Brexit.

Oasis reunion in 2025?, by LJCal on Sept 4, 2024 1:55:10 GMT 1, All the people complaining about tired pricing could just not buy the tickets as opposed to trying to bring down capitalism. These are overpriced concert tickets not bread FFS. I agree that the ticket sellers should announce dynamic pricing before people queue but this does not require the government to enact new laws, I'd say it already breaches current consumer and advertising legislation.

Oasis reunion in 2025?, by Acme Thunderer on Sept 8, 2024 10:42:16 GMT 1, This is meant as a helpful post after the recent issues with Oasis tickets.
Ricky Gervais will be announcing his new tour this month and tickets will immediately sell out when they go on public sale, plus there will also be โdynamic pricingโ for these events as well.
If you want to be one step ahead, he is giving a 48 hour presale offer for the UK tour through this vodka brand he owns.
Iโm sure they will be plenty of people who donโt like Ricky Gervais, but there will also be plenty of people who will appreciate the heads-up.

Oasis reunion in 2025?, by nipper on Sept 8, 2024 11:35:14 GMT 1, I donโt like Oasis and I donโt like dynamic pricing but at the very least they could tell people what the price is changing to whilst they wait in the queue. Then those not able or not willing could drop out and not waste their time.
Then again would that reduce the demand and potentially (some of) the justification for the price increases.
