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.

    • Judging by last night at Wembley, Luke Combs should be in the conversation of headliner. The UK is having a moment with country music so I don't think it would be particularly left field either.

    • It feels really busy this year, loads of big groups of youngsters too. Slightly different vibe to previous years I've been. As with Tramlines, they're very chatty during sets and there's a constant stream of them in and out of the crowd... definitely feeling my age 😂   The Quarry stage I think is a lot smaller than previous years - seems similar size to Squid/Leadmill. Some sets have been difficult to get in.   I think I've reached my limit with mid-tier indie guitar bands. There's been quite a few this weekend where I've gone over to see them then walked away after 20 mins. Surprisingly, enjoyed the Fratellis set the most in this genre. Probably getting on for 20 years since I last saw them. Wasn't expecting them to do Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which was fab!   Hugely enjoyed the Happy Mondays yesterday, and same but different with Radio Free Alice who I saw again on Friday, following Tramlines last weekend. A big run of pop acts today - Scissor Sisters will be fantastic!
