Should Oasis Refund Fans?

Ask a Question

Should Oasis refund fans who paid more than face value for tickets? 🎸🔥

Fans faced issues with sold-out shows, long online queues, and 'dynamic pricing,' where £135 tickets were sold for over £350. 🤯💸

What’s your take?

No they shouldn't if people are stupid enough to pay for them then it's on themselves

I read the other day people were buying oasis tickets unofficially for over £6,000 and more

I thought purchased tickets had to have a corresponding e mail to prove the ownership and you could only buy them through official reselling websites , otherwise they would not be valid

So how are the ticket touts getting around this ?

People had the option to proceed and authorise their payment. So no if they thought the tickets were too expensive abort the basket!

Pjran Should the tickets have been kept at a lower price?

SamGoodship if they’re advertised at a certain price they should be charged that rate but those who ended up paying more should have abandoned their basket.

How are there tickets for sale at inflated prices by the thousands? It is impossible for the fan to purchase block amount of tickets. If they are genuinely on the market and not fake tickets then the officially licensed ticket sellers need investigating and banned if proven they are inflating prices.

No they shouldn’t, if those people accepted the cost of the ticket that’s down to them, but I don’t agree that Ticketmaster were allowed to raise the prices due to demand, they knew before the tickets went on sale what a demand there would be for these Oasis tickets so shame on them & Oasis for allowing the price hike

People should have voted with their credit cards and not bought the over priced tickets. If they did more fool them - or they hoped to resell and make money themselves

Definitely yes. Dynamic pricing is no different to the touts who they condemn. Other famous artists have taken the stance not to be involved in this scam pricing and Oasis should do the same.

VickiBrown15446 but why should they? If people didn't pay it then the prices would go back down? If people are silly enough to pay the price then it's on the individual if they want to pay or not at the end of the day it's a business they are gonna get as much money as they can

Madness to me that people will pay so much, if people are happy to part with their money then I dont see the issue! I do find it bad that people re-sell and charge people like triple what they paid to make some cash, that's not okay.

Whoever profited should refund the tickets.

Maybe an opt in and opt out option choice for a refund

I don’t see why they would. If people pay the high prices, it’s money they’re choosing to spend. Only hope it was worth it

No if they couldn't get a ticket that's how it is, if want to psy more that's their problem , they have added 2 more shows but that still wouldn't be enough for demand, personally don't see the hype with these, never liked them myself

I don't think fans should be reimbursed either. As others have mentioned, those people chose to pay that silly sum of money. My husband dat in a queue for 8 hrs then was hit with the inflated price and refused point blank to pay out. 🙄

This isn’t the first time this has happened and won’t be the last. My daughter had a limit of £250. She couldn’t even get onto the website. I’m happy she saved her money for something a lot better.

They are like prime drinks, they were selling on e bay at the height of the frenzy for an unbelievable £10,000 each , you can now pick a bottle up at some stores for 50p

So if people are daft enough to believe the hype they will pay a premium for a bad product

It's simply supply and demand economics, I think people were going to pay a premium for the tickets anyway but perhaps would have been more honest to start at the price level they expected. They were never going to have unsold tickets at the end of the day.

No way they accepted the price, they probably hoped could sell on but they will be cancelled so if not happy sell at face value.
