Oasis drops dynamic ticket pricing for US tour dates

Oasis said they were unaware dynamic pricing would be used for their UK tour dates.

Oasis have announced they will abandon dynamic pricing for the US leg of their reunion tour, after it caused “an unacceptable experience” for UK fans.

The system increases the price of concert tickets during periods of high demand. When Oasis's UK dates went on sale, some fans had to pay upwards of 350 for tickets with an original face value of 150.

The group faced significant backlash and the UK's competition regulator launched an investigation into whether Ticketmaster had breached consumer protection law.

In a statement announcing dates in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the band's executives said they wanted to “avoid a repeat of the problems” faced by fans in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

“It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket sales and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans below market rates and therefore more affordable,” they wrote.

“But when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold multiple times by the time tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot meet that demand, it becomes less efficient and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.

Noel and Liam Gallagher previously said they were unaware dynamic pricing would be used for their UK stadium shows next summer.

In a statement released earlier this month, the band said: “It must be clear that Oasis leaves decisions regarding ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management.”

The band's hits include Don't Look Back In Anger, Live Forever, Wonderwall and Roll With It.

The band's reunion next summer follows a nearly 16-year hiatus.

The Britpoppers broke up during a concert in Paris in 2009 after an altercation which began when Liam threw a plum at his older brother's head.

The siblings kept their distance for more than a decade, instead engaging in an arm's-length war of words in the press, on stage and on social media.

Liam repeatedly called Noel a “huge potato” on Twitter and accused him of deliberately missing the One Love concert for victims of the Manchester Arena bombing.

Noel responded by saying Liam was a “village idiot” who “needs to see a psychiatrist”.

“He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet,” he added. “He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”

The brothers have yet to give an interview explaining how they repaired their relationship, and fans are waiting to see if tensions will flare up again when they return to the stage.

For now, however, they are scheduled to perform seven concerts at Wembley Stadium next summer, as well as shows in Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin.

The band's concert dates in Canada, Mexico and the United States were announced on Monday:

Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Canada, on August 24Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois, on August 28MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on August 31Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on September 6Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico, Mexico, on 6 September September 12

Announcing the shows, the band said: “America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”
