Well, I finally got to the front of the queue, but if they think I'm gonna pay $800+ for 2 *VERY* shitty tickets so that Noel Gallagher can keep living in his golden palace after his messy divorce, they oughta have their heads read.
"Active Ticketing" in action.
@DyDave didn't you know the prices before you queue'd?
i'd be pissed to wait that long if i didn;t know how much it would cost me. 🤔
The problem is the prices change according to demand. They call it "Dynamic Pricing" or sometimes "Active Ticketing" if they're feeling euphemistic.
I call it "A Scam" or "The Inevitable Outcome Of Late-Stage Capitalism".
You also can't know what seats will still be available when you get to the front of the queue, so you have to wait to find out both if you want to go to the show. 🤷♂️
They'll sell out 2x80,000 shows, so people will pay. And while peeps pay, they will do it.
@DyDave wow! i am so glad i don't like to go to concerts. i'm sorry you had to wait so long to find that the prices had been jacked up so high. ugh.
Thank you! 🙏
TBH, I knew the score going in.
And, I'll still have another go if they announce a third or fourth show, too 😊
There are way more than 160,000 people who'll want to go, and the prices will probably be lower, too 😂
