I don't think that's the case. You got no more for your 355£ ticket than general admission standing.
Yeh, I think you got memorabilia and a walk into the an exhibition area, also the hospitality wasn't stage facing, so you'd have to go into the main area to watch the show. So no, not much for the buck. But the normal standing price was £150
 

I think the problem here is a lot of fans didn't know it was dynamic pricing, so they were queuing for hours finally got through (which many apparently didn't) and were left with tickets for £350 and once youve been waiting hours I guess people just bought them
That's the particularly nasty thing about dynamic pricing. People will be caught up in a moment having given up hours of their day already and then they've got a little counter in the corner putting further pressure on.

There should be a display showing the price of tickets while queueing. The industry has seen how much touts make and want in on that action.
 
Two new Wembley dates added. They've come out and said they didn't know dynamic pricing would be in use.
Would be pretty easy to refund the difference back to punters who've been stung by it then while still making absolute fortunes for all involved.

-----------------
Oasis acknowledged in their statement that the roll out of tickets over the weekend had not gone as planned.

They said: "While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band's management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations.

I'd love to see an explanation from whoever put that quote out how they envisioned dynamic pricing would keep ticket prices down. It's entirely optional to fix a ticket price, there isn't an outside influence forcing their hand.

Correct. Dynamic pricing is essentially ticket agents touting their own tickets.

It’s just a load of bluster to protect their image. In no way would dynamic pricing keep it down.
 
Bit of backlash, not headline news again somehow, yeah, erm, "we didn't know".

Course you 'kin didn't. Like you didn't know you were asking £150 a pop initially.

10 more months, I say charge everyone a grand and that way they don't crawl out of their caves again for another go.

Weasels!
 
For all the bluster about resale sites like Viagogo ect I honestly can't see those tickets getting cancelled. They haven't technically broken any laws. How can the event organisers block tickets that where legitimately bought? How would you even police that anyway? There must be tens of thousands of tickets already sold through them at this point. I'd not be shocked to hear that a good quater of the attendance at the gigs will be people who bought through resale sites. If it was that easy to cancel it would already be done and the sites wouldn't be as supremely confident as they seem to be. What more, if they can cancel them, then haven't they already done so? Stop all the talk and get on with it.
