I would argue most of these acts are about making as much money as possible, easy for them to act ignorant and blame the faceless corporation.

One thing worth noting is that if an artist ever sells out a show in minutes, or even days... they haven't made as much money as possible from it. By definition, they could have charged more.

Doesn't mean they weren't trying to make the most money possible, they may well have got it wrong. But I also suspect with the likes of Oasis they want the PR to be "sold out in minutes" not "still available weeks later", even if those tickets eventually go at a higher price than they would have on the day.

A good example of this was the London Olympics.  Tickets for the big events were priced at up to £700 a seat.  They took many months to sell out, but sell out they did.

Problem is at this level everything becomes an elitist event or at worse people absolutely skinting themselves to be able to attend. 

 

On the Oasis pricing I was was not personally prepared to pay £150, well, £300 as 15 year old Daughter was the one wanting to go.  Now the dynamic pricing has kicked in people will be thinking £150 is a bargain !!

It's possible to ponder if this could be something to consider doing for shows like this going forward. Although how easy that is to divvy it also up between See, G&T & TM is another query.

    • Based on previous times that rules quite a lot out of early summer festivals into the August runs.
    • No dramas man, I just like to follow others journeys as well. Get the inspiration, give out inspiration and the outdoors is the clear the head place to do it. I'm heading out for a easy trail run today I think, 10k- 10 mile we'll see how we go. I've got a half marathon in October I'm well unprepared for hahs
    • The Cheap Thrills at Mountford Hall, Liverpool.    They've been around for a while and have built up a large local following. Last night was their biggest yet, at a sold out 2,200 capacity venue.    It was a big old joyous, indie singalong from start to finish, the band clearly having the time of their lives. The debut album is out next month and they seem to be going down well on the festival circuit, maybe their time has finally come.   2 supports, I unfortunately missed Credits but the few songs they have on Spotify sound good, Americana vibes. The other was M60, reportedly Gary Neville's favourite band. If that's true, he's as clueless about music as he is football. To be fair, their sound was poor, maybe with a clearer sound they'd have been better but it was pretty dull.  
    • I can see them all merging along with the Tory’s . Restore curently couldn’t muster enough candidates to be a viable option . I lasted 4 mins and couldn’t watch any more . Lowe is just dull along with racist
