Oasis fans expressed outrage over exorbitant ticket prices for the band's upcoming reunion tour, with some tickets reportedly reaching up to €500. Many took to social media to criticize Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing strategy, which they felt exploited fan demand, with some claiming that standing tickets priced at €355.20 were a form of 'pure exploitation'. In response, former Ticketmaster executive Tommy Higgins noted that high prices are a result of demand from fans rather than the platform itself. Meanwhile, politicians like MP Lucy Powell and Cork TD Pat Buckley raised concerns over the transparency of Ticketmaster's pricing and called for regulations to cap ticket prices. The situation has led to accusations that organized crime may be benefiting from inflated ticket prices, as resale tickets appeared online for thousands of pounds. With an estimated 14 million fans trying to secure tickets, many were left disappointed as the Ticketmaster site struggled to handle the demand.
