Fatboy Slim Criticizes Oasis Dynamic Pricing

Fatboy Slim, the stage name of Norman Cook, has criticized Oasis for their use of dynamic pricing for their upcoming reunion tour, deeming it a way to 'rip off the fans.' He expressed his disdain in multiple interviews, stating that it resembles scalping and that it's 'sick' for a band and promoter to inflate prices based on demand. Cook emphasized that he prefers to keep his own ticket prices low and accessible, countering the trend that benefits already wealthy bands and promoters. He also acknowledged the chaotic ticket sales process, which left many fans frustrated. In contrast, he praised Coldplay for their decision to donate a portion of ticket sales to support smaller venues, suggesting that such an approach should be the standard. Cook concluded by noting that financial motivations often drive bands to reunite after breakups.
