DarkFruitsRam7 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 They went on sale at 2am over here. Had 3 women at the bar on Ticketmaster for me, but still no luck. It was a great conversation starter mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Badger Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Listening to Oasis fans whine about Ticketmaster, you'd think Blur owned it. It was the Gallagher brothers who ripped them off. They signed off on it. At least Malcolm McLaren called it a great rock and roll swindle. This was a brilliant piece of marketing using every trick in the book. Maybe it's legal, but it's unethical and driven by greed for themselves and utter contempt for their fans. Taylor Swift could have done this and then some, but she didn't. The difference in how she treats her fans and how Oasis do, is night and day. Stive Pesley and Comrade 86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Missed the Oasis bunfight. The joys of being without WiFi or phone signal on Saturday - that's the reality of a trip to the wilds of north Notts! But it's Marseille and then The Last Dinner Party coming up in London Town. Mrs Sagan is appalled at my decision to buy TLDP and presumed I was joking when I told her, so I've had to invite someone else. Which always makes things a little less enjoyable when you're used to a regular gigging partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or anyone who buys those expensive VIP tickets as they think it's the only way they can go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Son in Laws band the Velocetts have played there, It's a good venue for bands and can get pretty cramped if there's a good band following, A good venue with wooden floors and a CAMARA Pub to boot https://www1.camra.org.uk/pubs/flowerpot-derby-143639 https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pictures of the flowerpot derby&qs=n&form=QBIR&sp=-1&lq=0&pq=pictures of the flowerpot derby&sc=10-31&cvid=690E8107913D41DD8384E0ACE6ADC922&ghsh=0&ghacc=0&first=1 Wistaston Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Managed to bag Oasis tickets pretty surprisingly easy, obviously helped getting pre sale but when I logged in only 2k Infront of the queue... Only downside was lack of seat options at Wembley, literally the opposite end of the stadium despite being one of the first to grab tickets and over £300 - Saw Metallica in the snake pit for this! Also I see Linkin Park have reformed and doing a UK date earlier this month, disappointed at the route they've chosen for the vocalist TBH, Derek from Sum 41 would've been the best option.

Was this "demand based" pricing, VIP tickets or the normal price? What other prices were available in pre-sale, or were they just selling rip off ones?

Papahet Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 £167 per ticket, got two. Still A LOT considering the location of seats 🥺 Saying that, Papa Roach at Notts is over £60 and they've done nothing of note for a good 20 plus years... ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good when it's 70% ish full and there's still room round the corner to get served easily. Stipe should be ok but if you're seeing an AC/DC tribute stand about half a mile away - my mate stuffed his hearing standing too close to the stage.

Whereas Oasis have only done nothing of note for 15 years. If only they'd waited 5 years more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was easier to get Oasis tickets! Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
