Oasis Faces Backlash Over Reunion Tour Ticket Pricing
News summary

The Oasis reunion tour has sparked controversy over ticket pricing, with standard ticket prices unexpectedly soaring from £148 to £355 on Ticketmaster, prompting government scrutiny into dynamic pricing practices. The band claimed they were unaware of the use of dynamic pricing by their promoters and management, despite the involvement of Liam Gallagher's fiancée, Debbie Gwyther, who manages him. In response to the backlash, Oasis announced two additional tour dates and plans for staggered, invitation-only ticket sales for fans who missed out. The UK government, led by figures like Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, is reviewing dynamic pricing in the ticketing market, aiming to enhance transparency rather than impose outright bans. Critics argue that fans were not adequately informed about the pricing model in advance, leading to widespread discontent. The situation highlights broader concerns regarding ticket affordability for major events.
