Oasis 'dynamic pricing' row prompts government probe

The culture secretary has called the selling of Oasis tickets at "vastly inflated" prices "depressing".

Ms Nandy said if the government worked with "artists, industry and fans, we can create a fairer system that ends the scourge of touts, rip-off resales and ensures tickets at fair prices". Ministers are set to look into the use of "dynamic pricing", amid an ongoing row about the "depressing" and "vastly inflated" cost of tickets to see Oasis next year. Outlining the government review's scope, she said ministers would look at "issues around the transparency and use of dynamic pricing, including the technology around queuing systems which incentivise it".
