Oasis tickets: UK government to probe 'dynamic pricing'

Ministers have promised an investigation after fans complained of inflated ticket prices for Oasis' 2025 reunion tour. But industry experts insist that "dynamic pricing" is not illegal and based on supply and demand.

"Working 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," Nandy said in a statement late on Sunday. Nandy's government colleague Lucy Powell, the Leader of the House of Commons, experienced the issue at first hand on Saturday, telling the BBC that she ended up buying two tickets for one of Oasis' Manchester dates for the adjusted price of £350 ($460) each. Oasis fan Rachael Board from Devon told BBC News she felt "completely ripped off" after getting "caught up in the vibe" and paying £495 for a ticket, over three times the £150 she'd budgeted for.
