More likely that other sellers will adopt it rather than TM stopping it.

I’m not sure other sellers can afford the adverse publicity. Haven’t TM got something like 70% of the market? They can take the hit and it will hardly affect them.

If the bands/promoters are looking to profit from the practice, and it becomes accepted, then the other ticket agencies will pretty much have to follow or miss out on selling tickets for sought after gigs entirely. If a promoter is getting 200% of face value from Ticketmaster, or 100% of face value from See, then they're going to shift all of the tickets to Ticketmaster no matter how much it stinks.

And being part of the same company that owns Live Nation, Festival Republic and all of the Academy Music venues means that the others will live on scraps anyway

So what about the new dates that they’re going to announce? Any idea when they’ll go up for sale? Not sure I can take another Saturday like for a while.

At this point I think they can have it be tomorrow. They let this finish and add the dates. I dont think they want to wait a week and let the news cycles eat them up and make the following onsales a revolt. They have everyone where they want them and its surprising that they didnt open the next batch of hope for everyone. Genius movie to have this a saturday cause they knew it would take all day.

Its been a painful day. The promoters seemed to have done a great job this week building the hype, event of next summer, etc. but many of the people I know who wanted to go have fallen a bit flat with it after today. 

 

Website crashes, holding pages 8 hours in to the sale, dynamic pricing, people getting kicked out of queues after waiting hours, getting through to select tickets then they are unavailable. All a bit of a shambles and for the prices they are selling tickets for people just can't be ar*sed with it. 

 

Lets hope there's easier opportunities to get some tickets sometime in the future.

Just on gigs and tours main oasis page. Showing sold out both Cardiff dates and all Scotland dates. Doesn’t say sold out for any heaton park or Wembley dates so still tickets out there.

Helpful info! I’ll keep trying 🙂

That's a fair summary I think and I say that as someone whose neutral about it, but many folks have clearly been through the mill.

 Wonder when they will announce the support line up. Wouldn’t be mad if this was true, going Manchester and Courteeners would be a very uninspiring choice. Fontaines doing all the dates feels like exactly the sort of choice they should be making.

Wow, that was… traumatic. We got to the front of the queue before both getting booted for “reserving too many tickets”. 
 

We managed to get Cardiff seated at £150ish each and then standing Manchester as well.

 

Thankfully I had already paid for a hotel room and I’ve got a campsite that’s accessible from Heaton Park booked. 
 

It does mean no Glasto for us next year though. That’s wiped out all our fun savings for the year.

It's 6 hours and not sold out... people are... 

 

It's live nation by the way... the info when you click the i button says the event organiser has increased price to match market value. 

 

Absolute c**ts. If I was the band I'd be on the phone to them ripping their fans off

I think none of the gigs are showing sold out because there are still accessible tickets available

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
