It's essentially robbery. Do TM have to do more work when demand is high? Nah they're just fleecing people.

I mean, if you are selling a product in a store wouldn't you want to sell it as high as you can - find the sweetspot where your margin is a s high as possible and customers still buying? (I do not want dynamic pricing. But why is it robbery)

Supermarkets are testing doing it also. Water being more expensive on hot days etc. Sounds like things are getting better and better by each day.

In 2025 prepare to do your grocery shopping in the middle of the night when the demand and price might be lower.

And put Hey Now and She's Electric on there. and those songs are bad how? They are the weakest on MG in my opinion. I really like Hey Now and She's Electric is fine in small doses but compared to the two I've mentioned, not in the same league.

I don't listen to MG as a whole much these days, I usually listen to bootlegs / Familiar Too Millions if I want my Oasis fix. I wouldn't skip Hey Now but probably would skip She's Electric unless I had specifically put on MG to listen to all of it. Just to really upset people, I almost always skip Digys's Dinner.

The government (whichever Western 'democracy') will let them get away with it. You shouldn't confuse democracy with capitalism. Capitalism 101: Supply and demand But don't get me wrong, I'm all for capitalism though some things, like dynamic pricing, should be illegal. But can also see why they are not - as (declared) egalitarianism never brought any good to people... Hard subject.

Jesus wept we still going on about the tickets 😂😂 it’s the uk it’s booking agents , we in England currently can’t afford to heat our homes , w date being ripped off for energy prices, we are paying £8 a pint and £7 for a pack of butter .. oasis was never going to be cheap .. and people mentioning Paul heaton gigs , Paul’s a top bloke but him playing isn’t an oasis reunion , this was always going to be abused by the booking agent

Fed up of our living standards being stolen by greedy corporations.

It's such a pity that the general feeling has changed so much from all the excitement and joy that everyone felt a few days ago.

I just check this morning and woww yes people are mad, and the silence annoys them even more. It's absolutely everywhere. It started off with everyone being angry at Ticketmaster but now everyone knows that oasis would have had to sign off on the dynamic pricing, so the anger is directed at Noel & Liam now. And the silence is definitely not helping. I think it's bizarre that we got the announcement Tuesday morning & then a few posts about tickets and nothing since.

I'm not sure egalitarianism has been tried in any meaningful way.

Twickets website totally broke since this morning. Everybody yell at them, and they don't answer. No news for resale initially announced for today on TM neither. And yes brothers are directly attack now. How to ruin a huge party... Sad.

This silence is really damaging them. The longer they stay silent, the worse it’s gonna get.

I don't think it's gonna be *this* bad to be honest The gigs are all sold out and as usual people are gonna move on onto another problematic matter as soon as something else happen, we've seen outrage at ticket sellers a thousand times before
Don't get me wrong I'd like to see a statement from the band and hope the noise force them amd TM to try making up for it, but I don't expect much to happen in a way or the other

Taylor Swift. Pearl Jam. Now Oasis to name but a few. That’s the downside of a monopoly.
