Helpful info! I’ll keep trying 🙂

Just been through every date on Gigs and Tours. No tickets available for any date. The standing tickets are currently unavailable and it says sold out for all the rest so maybe they will release a few more at some stage?

 

Either way I think for tonight gigs and tours is now a no.👎🏼

Does he respond on there?

I've certainly seen a lot of shares before of him responding to tweets...but then presumably he gets a feck of a lot.


It’s all quiet on Instagram 😬

Steve Van Zandt replied during a similar furore around the Springsteen tickets. He essentially plead ignorance.

I have been wondering what show the unionists in my country will go to (northern ireland) Some of you may not be aware but Croke Park in Dublin is the HQ of the Gaelic Athletic Association which many unionists dislike. You may have seen on the news that the Northern Ireland football fans are very opposed to playing in a new GAA stadium in Belfast called Casement Park. I can't imagine many of them would want to visit Croke Park. I suppose they would go to Edinburgh or Wembley.

I mean - wow. I knew dynamic pricing produced some extreme prices but... ouch.


its likely capped anyway. Def could be higher if allowed. Probably cant go above £500.
 

Bad Bunny had $1000 uppers for his arena tour 2 years ago because the system was allowed to do as it pleased. Drake capped his at $600 last year. It was very obvious when you looked at the seat map.

I'm not sure it's a shambles when an act sells a million tickets plus in a day, but I know what you mean!


I’ll word it better; I am not surprised they’ve sold it all. I think they announce more in the coming week and we get this again..

 

But, what is a shambles is the dynamic pricing nonsense (but more fool div’s like me who paid out for more than double the actual face value), and the fact Glastonbury can shift 200k tickets in less than an hour on ONE website, and this has dragged out for 9.5 currently over multiple with absolute no tweets/updates/helpful info 😂

Then I agree entirely, speaking like you as a veteran of Glastonbury ticketing drama and this is well outside that.

Is there scope for legislating against dynamic pricing? That Ticketmaster can in essence become a scalper for these sort of events is shameful. Though can't say I'm confident this Labour government would do so anyway even if they could. 


the thing is the ticket lobby has been slowly eroding the protections that were in place before in the uk. Thats why theyre not going full on america with it. They will argue that putting the money back into the artists hands is the reason. Springsteen even admitted to it. 
 

story a mate told me years ago when he worked at a venue that was tied to Live Nation. Madonna booked the Madame X theater tour in north america. So his venue obviously got one of the reisidencies. And said on the day they were finalizing pricing details and such, LN brought up ( because its required ) the option of platinum tickets/dynamic. Madonna's team asked for clarity like as to the financials. They explained  it all and her team excitedly said yes to this and then asked if this could apply to every date. They said yes, so then all the other cities had it happen. Shows you what drives certain artists and could give a f**k all. 
 

Its only magnified right now cause this is such a big deal. Was anyone complaining over Dua Lipa doing the same last month for her Wembley dates? I thought not. Its just that 90% of everyone going to these gigs hasnt gone to a gig in so long that they dont know how much its all changed. They thought a ticket would cost a fiver. They thought it would take 10 minutes to buy a ticket. Nope.

When people pay it, it will continue to be a thing. 

You can't complain about dynamic pricing and then use it to grab a ticket!

    • Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it. 
    • 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…
