Comment on Ticketmaster to be investigated by watchdog over 'dynamic pricing' of Oasis tickets

Spent ages in the queue and had tickets in my basket but I just couldn’t face £350 per ticket. Fuck Oasis, I don’t believe for a second that they were unaware of their own ticket prices. How can they complain against touts and scalping when that’s exactly what happened here.

They claimed it was there to deter touts but they just ended up charging more.

Apparently the surge pricing reflected what touts would have charged. Makes you want to grab somebody and shout HOW IS THAT A JUSTIFICATION?! Yeah, and if somebody steals a car they’ll sell it to me cheaper than the dealer - so it feels like TM logic means the dealer should sell it to me cheaper too because that’s what the black market is priced at?
