Oasis ditch dynamic ticket pricing for US tour dates

Oasis announced that they were not informed about the implementation of dynamic pricing for their tour dates in the UK.

Oasis has declared that they will abandon dynamic pricing for the North American portion of their reunion tour, following complaints that it created "an unacceptable experience" for fans in the UK.

The system increases ticket prices when demand is high. For instance, when tickets for Oasis' UK concerts were released, some fans ended up paying over £350 for tickets that originally cost £150.

The band encountered considerable criticism, prompting the UK's competition authority to initiate an inquiry into whether Ticketmaster violated consumer protection regulations.

In a recent announcement regarding their tour dates in the US, Canada, and Mexico, the group's management expressed their desire to prevent a recurrence of the problems that fans experienced in the UK and Ireland.

"It's generally recognized that dynamic pricing is an effective way to tackle ticket scalping and ensure that a larger number of fans pay less than the going market rate, making tickets more affordable for them," they stated.

However, when an overwhelming demand for tickets—where the entire tour could easily sell out multiple times as soon as tickets are released—is paired with technology that can't handle such high demand, it results in poorer performance and can create a frustrating experience for fans.

Earlier, Noel and Liam Gallagher mentioned that they were not informed about the use of variable pricing for their stadium concerts in the UK next summer.

In a recent announcement, the band clarified, "We want to emphasize that decisions regarding ticket sales and pricing are completely in the hands of our promoters and management."

The band is known for popular songs like "Don't Look Back In Anger," "Live Forever," "Wonderwall," and "Roll With It."

The band's upcoming reunion performances next summer come after a nearly 16-year hiatus.

The Britpop band split up during a concert in Paris in 2009, following a confrontation that started when Liam hurled a plum at his older brother's head.

For over ten years, the siblings avoided each other, opting to express their disagreements through public statements, performances, and social media rather than direct interaction.

Liam constantly referred to Noel as a "huge potato" on Twitter and claimed that he intentionally skipped the One Love concert held for the victims of the Manchester Arena attack.

Noel replied by calling Liam a "fool from the countryside" who "should consult a mental health professional".

"He's the most irritable person you'll come across," he continued. "It's as if he's a guy holding a fork in a world full of soup."

The brothers haven't spoken publicly about how they mended their relationship, and fans are eager to find out if any old conflicts will resurface when they perform together again.

At the moment, they are scheduled to perform seven concerts at Wembley Stadium next summer, along with additional shows in Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Dublin.

On Monday, the band revealed their performance schedule for Canada, Mexico, and the United States, which is as follows:

In their announcement about the concerts, the band stated: "America. Oasis is on its way. This is your final opportunity to show us that you've appreciated us all this time."
