Ticketmaster are just awful. The dynamic pricing is a complete scam, all the tickets for the Oasis show were going to be "in demand" so it's really just an excuse scam punters.What may be even worse is if there is any evidence that ticketmaster held back tickets to create a demand that meant dynamic pricing would kick in.
We do need legislation for this. Ticket prices + fees should be listed prior to sale, you should not discover this once you have successfully navigated the on line queue.
Tickets should only be resold for the original face value ticket price. Touting for gig tickets should be illegal. The secondary markets are polluted by professional touts (this includes the ticket agencies themselves) by making profiteering a criminal offence you should clamp down on this, freeing up tickets for the non-bots on ticket sale day.
Also the Gallagher's will have signed off of on the dynamic pricing, they have treated their fans with utter contempt here. Oasis reforming is a big deal for so many people and they have just been sh*t on by the band.
