Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy called the inflated selling of Oasis tickets 'incredibly depressing'.
The Culture Secretary has called the inflated selling of Oasis tickets "incredibly depressing" as she revealed that surge pricing would be included in a Government review of the secondary gig sales market.
She said: "After the incredible news of Oasis' return, it's depressing to see vastly inflated prices excluding ordinary fans from having a chance of enjoying their favourite band live. This Government is committed to putting fans back at the heart of music. Ticketmaster said it does not set prices, and its website says this is down to the "event organiser" who "has priced these tickets according to their market value".
However, Ticketmaster maintained its website had not crashed, and directed customers to clear cookies and to only use one tab. House of Commons leader and Lord President of the Council Ms Powell said she ended up buying two tickets for £350 each. The band's promoters, Manchester-based SJM Concerts, Irish MCD and Scottish DF Concerts & Events have all been approached for comment.
