Been looking all day and each time i click buy its always ," someone else is already buying these tickets" set-up notifications but none working.
There may be, but it would break my deadpan facade to admit it.
In fairness this is because the seller has bought those at those prices - the very same dynamic pricing that’s come under criticism! I’ve sold on twickets a few times and they do ask for proof of what you paid if it’s more than the standard face value.
Still, if they can cap fees for the resale of Oasis tickets, they can do it for all.
Quite sad really, but power to their elbow they sell tickets.
Both. TodayTix or TKTS is generally cheaper by doing “Rush” or trying for lottery tickets, or sometimes clearance allocations, but this is more last-minute. But most theatres also use dynamic pricing like Delfont Mackintosh and ATG.

Your opinion chap!You think?
Some very scattergunned opinions in there. And written from a music biz perspective.
Take this...
To Nandy, adult consumers are pea-brained imbeciles who, having stared at a bland Ticketmaster queue page for a few hours, become so cognitively overwhelmed they lose all concept of whether three hundred-odd quid is a price they’d ordinarily be willing to pay for a ticket.
Versus...
A supersonic swindle: my £1,423 Oasis Ticketmaster hell
With only seconds to decide whether to buy £361 standing tickets after hours of queueing, fans may feel exploited rather than exhilarated
And...
I mean, maybe. Or maybe GBP £355 is just what an Oasis ticket is actually worth in 2024, so people pay it (safe in the knowledge they can always re-sell it for the same price down the line).
Justifiying £355?! BS!
BUT some interesting info about resale tickets actually being cancelled - I'll give you that.
They seem pretty confident tickets sold on 3rd party platforms will be cancelled. If this happens Ticketmaster will then resell even more standard price tickets as platinum so will be pretty keen on the idea.Your opinion chap!
I thought it was a decent read.
Each to their own
