As awful as it is logistically if affects very few gigs other than top bands that most want to see. And to be frank quite often these end up on 3rd party sites for 3 or 4 times what dynamic pricing brings so does it help stop scalping? However in terms of legislation I'd like to see 3rd party sites completely outlawed. In a way dynamic pricing offers the big ticket companies a stake in making that happen, then legal resale sites can mop up any that people want to sell even if they are 3 times starting price. 

I'd suggest that the key difference is that with this sale particularly many folks thought they were going in with a certain expectation and set themselves a ceiling of 150-200 or whatever, but then contrary to what folks here may be accustomed to in recent popular sales it went on for many many hours.

In some cases with little if any sign that they were getting anywhere...then they get some page saying that the price is quite a bit higher than any of those they had originally seen listed.  And then some of those who went for it hadn't realised until after purchase that it was exactly the same as the original ticket and with no extra "experience".

Clearly it's a learning opportunity for many buyers, both in terms of the process but you can see why some didn't feel the usual elation one gets for buying a ticket for a show you really want to see.

F****** in the bushes is a good call. I know Liam's used it before but then his used bushes before but I like The Roses - I Am The Resurection. Although, likely to come out to an Oasis song.

 

I am more curious about what the exit music will be after the encore. It would be cool if they changed it each show to a song they will not play in the set.

 

Imagine the scenes if the final night of the tour they played "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle" by the Pistols,

 

[sildante]

First shot at a dream setlist...

 

(f**kin In The Bushes Intro)

Rock n Roll Star

Columbia

Acquiesce

Roll With It

She's Electric

Cigarettes & Alcohol

Some Might Say

Go Let it Out

Morning Glory

Gas Panic!

Cast No Shadow (Noel playing acoustic, both Liam & Noel vocals)

Stand By Me

Little by Little

Stop Crying Your Heart Out

The Importance of Being Idle

Slide Away

The Masterplan

Supersonic

Live Forever

 

Encore 1:

Wonderwall

Let There Be Love

Don't Look Back In Anger

Champagne Supernova

 

Encore 2:

I Am The Walrus

 

Already an unrealistic amount of songs, would also love to hear Talk Tonight, Digsy's Dinner, Shakermaker, Half The World Away, Whatever, Married With Children which I couldn't fit in. Hope and expect for a slightly varied setlist for each night. 

 

Will happily omit the entirety of Dig Out Your Soul. I don't dislike the album, but personally I wouldn't forfeit any of their earlier material for I'm Outta Time, Shock Of The Lighting or Falling Down.

Would be completely appropriate and extremely honest

That looks pretty good to me, just finish on I am the Walrus for us old timers.🙏

 

Liam did that this year - which is why I switched it out tbh.

 

I think ending on Live Forever would be good too.

I really like that idea tbh. All around the World would get in there for me definitely.

 

The Stone Roses did redemption song after their Heaton Park gigs

 

Hey Jude is always a winner if they wanted something old that everyone knows. Cos it needs to be something everyone can belt out IMO.

There you go then. You got safe and fair access to buy your ticket as opposed to people that paid the normal price and got dangerous and unfair access.

 

Worth an extra £200 in anybody’s book if you ask me.

so you couldnt onto their website where this is in the help section? Tm isnt hiding anything, they literally have to explain whats what and nobody ever thinks to just search their website.

I reckon because dynamic pricing came in at bit later on Saturday, not immediately at 9am, that the pre sale didn't have enough people with codes to trigger it. 

 

The algorithm is triggered differently in the Uk as opposed to North America. Dynamic kicks in when the inventory is below a certain number. The pre sale was never going to have it happen because the concert itself wasnt going to sell out, just the allotment. They knew how to set it up so that you didnt cause a shitstorm on the night before and have people wondering whats gonna happen. In America it will happen within minutes due to demand which is the plain and simple way. Even in a presale it will happen and then those prices stay for a general sale. So then Tm maximizes everything just on presale cause the algorithm gets to kick in sooner.

[efcfanwirral]

So in the latest Youtube video with Noel answering questions, he says Supersonic and Some Might Say are his favourite Oasis songs. I wasn't sure they'd play it but I guess Some Might say could be in?

[eatingglitter]

Ugh, I love Some Might Say.

My husband will riot if we don't get Digsy's Dinner, haha.

Are the Manics meant to be the Cardiff support act?

I dunno, for 200 quid extra (of which I believe they get twenty), sending a boilerplate email seems an OK ask.

I have absolutely nothing to back this up but I would be very surprised if the Manics weren’t one of the Cardiff supports.

Clearly this wasn't explained enough for it to catch a lot of people out and for this to have become such a dominant theme of discussion in the last few days.

 

Exactly how you do it more transparently going forward is another matter. When an act announces shows, do they just have to say "Dynamic pricing is on" like Springsteen effectively did?

I effing adore the Manics. They're the one band I think I've seen 15+ times over many eras. Never seen a bad Manics performance.

I would be very, very, very surprised if you get Digsy's Dinner. You may need to start counselling now.

This isn't specifically what @brandycokeasked though. He asked what is "platinum" about it. And I think it's pretty clear it's an email to express ones distaste at the practice, than than an actual query about what dynamic pricing is.

Would’ve thought that would be nailed on along with the other singles from the first two albums. Surely the setlists will be like five or six each from the first two albums and then select singles from the rest of their discography.

Noel used to play it a lot in earlier HFB days and Liam's had to sing it on his recent DM30 tour, so I reckon there is a (small) bit of potential for it to appear as a wildcard on one or two setlists. But you're definitely right that it's very unlikely to be a staple, it's difficult to justify squeezing it into a stadium setlist from them currently

"Safe and fair". They really think people buy that sh*t?

Love the track, but it's one of those that I think Liam slightly struggles with, particularly that higher section. Wouldn't be gutted if it wasn't on the setlist, though it's very likely to be.

God, this would make me massively jealous. I have a Wembley night 1 ticket, and "avoided" Cardiff, cos I wouldn't have been able to wangle Glasto and Cardiff so close together. Obviously, had I been offered Cardiff as a last resort I'd have snapped it up.

 

I don't think it'll be Manics. It makes sense, but I cannot see that happening.

 

Would be f**king amazing.
