Top by sales, not necessarily quality. I thought that would be obvious.
It's crazy that people are paying multiple thousands of dollars to go to an F1 race, Copa America final or a concert.
Absolute done him there Bam just how do you keep doing it
I would pay Oasis prices to see Bam and Mahow square up.

Oasis have issued a warning against reselling tickets to their comeback tour, after some were listed for thousands of pounds within minutes of a pre-sale.
A limited number of fans were able to buy the first batch of tickets during a three-hour window on Friday evening.
Shortly after, tickets were being listed online for more than £6,000 - over 40 times the face value of a standing ticket.

To clarify, I totally get wanting to go to this if you're a big or even quite big fan of the band, but I still don't understand why people basically indifferent to them are getting sucked in by the Major Cultural Event thing.
I'm prob just being cynical and/or autistic about it. Also maybe it's my memory playing up - I thought that people were mostly like yeah probs for the best when they broke up but perhaps not.
I thought people were massively indifferent when they broke up, because they'd been shite for years, whereas now they're in a nostalgia pocket and people want to hear Wonderwall again because it reminds them of when they had a smooth body, a libido and time on their hands.
Stop being miserable. I'm in the queue.
Ticketmaster crashing completely 10 minutes before they go on sale....
Queueing slowly down the hall, faster than a cannonball.
There was no chance of me getting tickets, to be honest.![]()
Still 17.5k ahead of me for Murrayfield.
Yea, no joy for me at all. Was on the site for about an hour watching the countdown, and then at 10 to I get an error come up and ever since I've been in a queue to get back onto the site.... and I'm only about 25% of the way through that queue...
Absolute shit show.
I'd rather pack in now than get to the end of two queues and THEN see the price I'm not willing to pay.
You'd hope, but I doubt it. The Mrs was on trying as well and her's crashed about 5 minutes before mine did so she's probably ahead of me.... and who knows how many others are as well.
It was never likely. I can't sit here for another 3 hours trying either way.
I got through the queue and now it’s just spinning on “Confirming Availability” when I’ve selected my tickets.
Twitter confirms this shitshow is widespread.
Up on StubHub already for the guts of a grand.
No joy here. Gave up after it crashed for the second time.
This shit happens every time there's one of these events. They really need to find a better way of doing it.
I was lucky enough to get in on the pre-sale yesterday and snagged some standing tickets for Wembley. Only just though. All the regular standing tickets had gone but lucked out there being some left as part of a sort of premium package including (completely un-required) coach travel there and back from Birmingham. Fucking £220 a pop though.
Twitter is in meltdown over the "in demand standing" variable prices.
It is bang out of order. How can the band themselves take this big public stance on "we won't allow reselling at over face value!" but it's fine for their official ticket selling channels to just whack the price up by over double at some arbitrary point during the sales process? What does "in demand pricing" even mean in this context? They were all in demand from the get-go, there was about ten million people queuing to get them.
Capitalism 😎
Look if you're mental enough to already be paying a few hundred to see a couple of washed up former cokeheads, then you can pay a few hundred more on top. Its what is deserved.
Former?
I'm a twit
