Really sorry if its been asked but do we know when the presale is supposed to be? Surely it's Friday night, if ballot entrants are being notified at 17:00 Friday?

7pm Friday

see this is the reason we are faced with crazy prices these days - because its normallized and people just accept it.

 

this is not great value at all - this, in a sane world, is a £60 / £70 maybe.

 

£150 for a concert ticket is not normal, its madness.

 

 

 

 

that said - 10mins ago I got my email through for the ballot as Mrs. TLR wants to go... so my one-man-protest has gone out the window...

 

🙂 

 

I will continue the struggle for you brother!

Isn’t she lip syncing though? 
 

Jibing aside, I imagine her stage setup is far more expensive.

It's a show... Oasis won't be a show like that. They don't need those production set up and costs. It will be pissed up middle aged folk and their teenage kids 🤣

The Wembley Stadium show in 2000was £27.50 (plus fees). A random inflation calculator says that should be £51-ish in today’s money...

My thoughts are they are going to stagger sending the codes so not as many hitting the servers all at once. 🤷🏻

I always thought the rise in prices for concerts was because of platforms like Spotify and the revenue generated from album sales had disappeared?

Apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs StoneCircle, I guess you probably know this already!

 

Great advice, many thanks. I am a newbie where Ticketmaster are concerned! 🤦🏻

They also know how many they're sending out, so can plan accordingly.

I tend to agree… price per hour of entertainment is too high for me. I could afford it, but I’d rather spend the same money I’d spend that night  (ticket /travel/accommodation/food and drink) on a city break or cheap holiday!
 

Festival tickets remain excellent value really.

i don't think the guardian are oasis fans?

 

Quote

Oasis are the most damaging pop-cultural force in recent British history. It’s easy to attack them for being musically regressive: after all, they didn’t just Stop The Clocks, to quote the title of their 2006 best-of, but rewound them by 30 years. But the real problem is that they set social attitudes back even further

Still no email. Beginning to feel despondent. 

[nikkic]

It’s all about value over cost though, isn’t it? 

I’d pay £1000 to see Daft Punk, which to some will seem crazy.

Some of these folk will then happily pay £45 to see The Courteeners, which to me seems crazy. 
 

Horses for course and all that.

The last time I saw the brothers G wasn't a great experience so I may try for this one to banish the memory. How far back do you have to stand to avoid the covered in p*ss zone?

 

Is that the golden (shower) circle...?

 

Seriously though, none of these prices and indeed the floor plans on ticketbastard point to a golden circle situation, which if it's the case is at least a good thing.

I don’t think so as a code isn’t a guarantee of getting a ticket

I mean I could probably add Columbia and Whatever instead but felt obliged to at least acknowledge they released music outside the 90's lol

I would suggest that's somewhat offset by them charging Gold Circle level prices for the entire floor.

Do you have a link to the screenshot you posted please? 🙂 

[JMB01]

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but does anyone think these Oasis dates may make Glasto ticket day slightly easier ?

Thinking because of costs, quite a few people may do one or the other , or maybe this is wishful thinking .

Or maybe it’s because artists make no money from selling records anymore and they have to make their money via other means. Clearly not the case with Oasis but that’s the market rate these days and under those conditions, I’m more than happy to pay that.

Anyone got any ticket tips for Saturday then seeing glasto goers are hardcore ticket day soldiers

I don't like it either. I know that it's the way it's been going and indeed reflects the way prices for American concerts have been going (if on a less extreme scale than that) but it's kinda wild to me that it was twice as expensive as Foo Fighters and Green Day on their stadium tours when I saw those two this summer.

 

Certainly my rule is that I don't pay over £100 for tickets. I wasn't going for this anyway, but at those prices? Definitely maybe not.
