It’s the latter sentence that also inflamed fans: Although general admission ticket prices were listed pre-sale for £150, on Saturday morning as the GA tickets were snatched up, a new ticket-buying option appeared: “In Demand Standing,” which cost upwards of £400.Fans soon noticed that there was no difference between the general admission tickets and the “In Demand Standing” ticket other than the cost, one that Ticketmaster wrote was “dynamically priced.
The “In Demand Standing” tickets even caused fans to put a Community Note on Oasis’ tweet about tickets: “Oasis published ticket prices which put Standing tickets in most of their venues at ~£150. Thats face value. Oasis have allowed for Ticketmaster to sell via dynamic pricing which has those exact same £150 face value tickets listed for £350+.
