Oasis reunion

[one o in huntingdon]

Can't stand their music, so that's at least one person you're not competing against for tickets.

[Story of O]

Sid, is the fact you are getting old the reason you think Swift is rubbish. Did your parents/Grandparents like the music you liked in your youth?

[Hoover Attack]

I got mine. And I don't even like Oasis. Should make a nice profit on them though.

How do you go about reselling them for a respectable profit rather than at face value?

I was lucky enough to get 4 tickets for the 26th at Wembley and only need 2, so looking to offload 2 and pay for the whole weekend with the profit.

Got through at about 4pm and was offered 2 ‘premium’ standing (which I think were the last tickets) and they were about 250 quid each. I passed.

Advertise them in Loot.

Is dynamic pricing so bad? Just supply and demand isnt it?

Is this another tiresome “I’m gonna be a contrarian for the sake of it, being faux naive” post, or do you genuinely not understand the specific issues here?

"But the Oasis reunion already has one unintended consequence. In Edinburgh, a Holiday Inn Express room next August for the first two nights of their Murrayfield shows will now cost you £1,300 due to anticipated demand. Edinburgh fringe performers’ and audiences’ whole month’s accommodation budget would go in a night, so by my reckoning the first two weeks of the festival just got totally f*cked, Oasis singlehandedly murdering what 14 years of the Tories’ war on the arts couldn’t quite kill off. Sorted!"



I'm now picturing a right tear-up in the city centre as crews from the festival luvvies and the 50-year olds on the marching powder go toe to toe.

If enough people dont want to pay £350 each to watch Oasis then the price will fall.

If post-Brexit Britain could be summed up with one image, there it is.

He’s no Richard herring, that’s for sure.

What is beg?

Yes, well done, that’s the rationale

Schellion Horn, competition economist at accounting firm Grant Thornton, told the BBC's Today programme that dynamic pricing was about setting the price around supply and demand.

That means as demand for tickets goes up, then the price rises to match that.

Ms Horn suggested there was a "realisation that actually the tickets were under priced" when the sale first started on Saturday, given there was so many people in online queues.

People were "clearly willing to pay prices of £300-£400", she added, otherwise they would not have parted with their money.

But she said the problem was people were not aware that dynamic pricing was in operation and so there was a lack of transparency.

"We see it all the time, whether it's Uber or airline tickets or holidays or train tickets, so we're very very used to dynamic pricing... but I think this was the first time we've really seen it for concert tickets in the UK and people just weren't expecting it and I think that's where the issue came in," she said.

They should have said from the start that tickets would be £300.

Anyone else get lucky and secure tickets through the second ballot?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Nope!
