Viagogo have defended selling tickets........despite the announcement by the band and official avenues that resales over face value would be cancelled. I wonder what the legal status of them cancelling them would actually be (if they do cancel any) Ticket reseller Viagogo defends listing inflated Oasis tickets after band’s warning Ticket reseller Viagogo has defended having Oasis tickets on sale for inflated prices as a “legal” practice, after the band warned concertgoers that passes bought outside of the official websites Ticketmaster and Twickets will be cancelled. Cris Miller, Viagogo global managing director, told the PA news agency: “This is a dream event anticipated by millions worldwide. “Our number-one tip for fans using secondary marketplaces is to continue to check prices outside of the first few weeks of sale. “Demand will be at its peak when tickets hit the on-sale but it’s not a normal reflection of what tickets can and will go for. Just this summer tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in the UK sold on our platform for as low as £80. “In the case of Oasis – a highly anticipated event – we saw the primary sites struggling to manage demand even before the on-sale, and site crashes. “We know fans are frustrated with the process and we know there is a better way. We continue to support industry collaboration to ensure the entire ticketing market works for fans and the live entertainment industry. “Resale is legal in the UK and fans are always protected by our guarantee that they will receive their tickets in time for the event or their money back.”
Ticket master putting on surge pricing. Scumbags. That's all that is available now. 350 a ticket. Profiteering, joke.
I fI ever reach the stage I'll be backing out at that point on those prices. But I still foolishly have hopes I'll still be happy with or without tix.
They say you can't resell them to prevent touts but they themselves are inflating the prices. No idea how this is allowed
Went in again but min I could see was £340. No thanks. Keep your eyes open for extra dates lads and lasses. They will come on line. I spent hours trying for Peter Kay and getting nowhere then bingo I was in a queue for a new date and sailed through.
Me being me I’m already thinking about getting back to the city centre from heaton park fecked if I’m waiting around hours for trams so it’s either prebooking a taxi or walking back - what dya reckon as a seasoned heaton park gadgey?
**** that - £350, I love my daughter and all that but 2 knobheads from Manchester are not worth that as a matter of principle
Pre book a taxi from a proper firm. Massive walk and I wouldn't recommend that. Last resort that. If the teams are running and they have sorted their **** out, could stand towards the back at the end and get out sharp. I hate I am the walrus so that's what I will be doing!
You can have it mate. I've gave up. Pm me tomorrow or Monday and I'll give you the details. On the beers now
