When British rock band Oasis announced a reunion tour this week there was a predictable frenzy for tickets to the 17 dates. Perhaps also predictably, there have been complaints and frustration with the ticket-buying process due to heavy demand.
Tickets went on general sale on Saturday at 9 a.m. GMT and it didn’t take long for social media to start fuming about inflated prices, long waits and error messages from ticketing company Ticketmaster. “‘In demand standing ticket’ is just a standard standing ticket except double the price,” Darragh Moriarty, a city councilor in Dublin, posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. Moriarty also included a screenshot in his post, which showed an In Demand Standing Ticket priced at €415.50 plus fees.
’” Stephen Lowell of London posted on X he had waited five hours for tickets only to receive a message which read: “Your session has been suspended.” “The site did not crash,” the Ticketmaster spokesperson told CNN on Saturday. Oasis will kick off their tour on July 4, with shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin. Ticketmaster stated on its site the tour “will be one of the biggest live moments and hottest tickets of the decade.
