Wainy316 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Why is there no prominent instances of people punching touts? I mean, they’re perfectly visible and identifiable most of the time. Usually rude, obnoxious dickheads too to make it even easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy54 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Sounds like your experiences on Ticketmaster for oasis gigs made by comparison, the Villa online ticket website a superb, smooth error free and easy way to buy a ticket for a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted September 1 Moderator Share Posted September 1 The band / promoter set the ticketing price structure not Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster give them the options if fixed or dynamic. Band chose to max profit with dynamic pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the silence from the Gallagher brothers to go in a bit longer until this blows over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the silence from the Gallagher brothers to go in a bit longer until this blows over. Not quite the truth either. Of course it’s to do with them, it’s their software that runs the model. Ticketmaster will offer the option of dynamic or fixed, they¡ll heavily favour dynamic because they make more money (so will the band). In reality, what will happen here is he money men will sit down and crunch the numbers and will then report back to management on the potential profits. Management will always pick the most profitable unless told otherwise. The band are likely to be told something along 5e lines of… gigs are sorted, we expect to make £xmil etc, unless the band are really switched on they won’t question it and just leave it to management. I'm not imagining Noel and Liam's relationship being at the stage where they sit down and agree a joint strategy over ticketing. This week there will be a conversation between management and band that explains this to them. And at the end of the day there’s now eff all the band can do about it so they might as well suck it up and enjoy the extra cash when it comes in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Firstly and foremost they are doing this for themselves and family, so the more money the better. Everyone knows people will pay it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they were starting at £150 reflects the demand already. Wait till they then announce a load of extra nights back at standard prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the people that already have tickets will go back in for more and everyone else will be logging on with 8 laptops and we will be back to dynamic pricing again 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Got to the day of release and realised I really weren’t that arsed about going. We had several devices we could have tried for tickets from but only my wife’s phone was logged on for tickets. It’s all just been a load of bollocks and with the tickets going up in value because demand was so high left a bitter taste in my mouth for those that were held to ransom. Be too many dick heads there also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted September 1 Moderator Share Posted September 1 Promoters don’t tend to put heir name on advertising any more so it was hard to work out who was promoting the Oasis shows. It’s the utter bastards that are Live Nation. Sooooo… have a guess who owns Ticketmaster? Yep, Live Nation. So Ticketmaster line of it’s the promoters and the band that set the ticket pricing… rings somewhat hollow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
