Oasis reunion is to be investigated by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).Tickets for the 2025 stadium tour went on sale on Saturday (August 31) and promptly sold out at 7pm but some fans found they were priced out of tickets when they went to buy them, as the use of dynamic pricing meant the cost of tickets would go up or down without warning based on demand.This led to some fans who had been in the queue the entire day paying £355 for a ticket which was originally £135 when it came to confirm their purchase.Ticketmaster have clarified on their website previously that tickets that are “market-priced” “may increase or decrease at any time, based on demand. This is similar to how airline tickets and hotel rooms are sold.”The controversy led Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy to call for a review into dynamic pricing and secondary ticket sales, while Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the price hikes “depressing” at Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday (September 4).
