Complete shambles took over an hour and half to get in a queue only to be booted for being a bot managed to have the opportunity to buy tickets 7 hours after it started but the tickets had risen to £489 from £135 so declined but kept trying in hope only to get the not connected to the Internet message.if Oasis decide to add more gigs I think there gonna have to decide on a easier and fairer ticket distribution
Something like 'True Oasis fans seg to take inflatable plastic buckets to fill with piss and hurl about crowd in a step up from their normal pint glass antic. The step up in poss throwing is thought to be in solidarity with other oasis fans who couldn't get tickets mainly due to soft southern middle class shite.

I think that’s right. Price surging isn’t the fault of anyone who has bought, or Twickets. That’s down to the band and Ticketmaster for enabling it. The Twickets fee though is bloody steep at nearly £70 a pop. I think they do a great job, having bought through them many times and sold a few too, but that’s over the top.
I get it's supply and demand but the experience at gigs like these is simply not worth the extortionate prices charged. For me anyway.
Monopoly on food and drink. So far away from acts you end up watching on a big screen. Hours to get in and get out.
After a run of stadium gigs last year, Foo Fighters, The Eagles I decided that I'm getting too old for this sh*t and decided that I would only attend smaller events from now on.
It seems to me that for people with a reasonably reliable income paying over a thousand pounds for two tickets is understandable, and that is because of the time between paying out and the event. The price might be eye watering right now, but the impact of the hit dissipates over time and the eyes dry up, but people still have the ticket and the event to look forward to after the pain of the expense is forgotten. In the past I have paid out quite a long time in advance for Theatre tickets, like when Dustin Hoffman came to London to play Shylock, or the recent Chekhov at the Donmar, and I hope to get tickets in early October to see Cate Blanchett play in the Seagull in February. On the day of the play the price paid is largely forgotten There will probably be, what, £100million pounds come in, and that bounty can earn a lot if simply put on deposit for 10 or 11 months. I wonder(wall) how the pay out is broken down percentage wise. After the costs of venue hire, transportation, equipment and all other sundries are taken out, do Liam and Noel Gallagher have an equal share, but the other musicians (do Oasis have other musicians with them who founded the group?) simply get a flat fee for each gig rather than a percentage of the profits? Perhaps something like 10% of the overall take could be donated to a worthy cause like Amnesty International or Greenpeace.
If Oasis were spokespeople for a generation, what were they saying back then?
I think a lot of their appeal was that there was no message, apart from jump up and down and enjoy yourself. Sometimes you need a break from being lectured, if you want to know what a mess the world is in you can just turn on the news.

I get that. Hedonism and looking after number one first and foremost. Looks like that is what they’re doing with this reunion malarkey, looking after number one.

odd how so often you claim to get one someone says then prove you don't
Am a big fan of them but there's no way I'd pay extra due to price surging, it's a complete piss take. It's not as if the tickets were that cheap in the first place.
Mate got 4 and done a draw for the rest of us. Was lucky enough to come through. 5 rows from back of upper so nearer the sun than the stage, but will get to be there an boost the number of 90s Knebworth, Earls Court veterans at a less damaging £102

Feels like you've twisted the first paragraph to fit your second.
Oasis as a spokesperson for that generation was not about looking after number one first and foremost, and hedonism isn't about that either. Having a release and enjoying rock n roll, whether that's a live gig or jukebox down the pub is about the enjoyment of sharing with others.

Only you could interpret having a bit of fun at a concert as hedonism … absurd overreach

Hedonism as far as I understand it is about fun and pleasure isn't it? Wouldn't having a bit of fun at a concert be that?
