Oasis fans upset by high prices and long delays on Ticketmaster site

When British rock band Oasis announced a reunion tour this week there was a predictable frenzy for tickets to the 17 dates. Perhaps also predictably, there have been complaints and frustration with the ticket-buying process due to heavy demand.
When British rock band Oasis announced a reunion tour this week there was a predictable frenzy for tickets to the 17 dates. Perhaps also predictably, there have been complaints and frustration with the ticket-buying process due to heavy demand. Tickets went on general sale on Saturday at 9 a.m. GMT and it didn’t take long for social media to start fuming about inflated prices, long waits and error messages from ticketing company Ticketmaster. “‘In demand standing ticket’ is just a standard standing ticket except double the price,” Darragh Moriarty, a city councilor in Dublin, posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. Moriarty also included a screenshot in his post, which showed an In Demand Standing Ticket priced at €415.50 ($459.61) plus fees. “To clarify – Ticketmaster does not set any ticket prices,” a Ticketmaster spokesperson told CNN on Saturday. On Ticketmaster’s official website, the company states: “Promoters and artists set ticket prices. Prices can be either fixed or market-based. Market-based tickets are labeled as ‘Platinum’ or ‘In Demand.’”
