Fans spotlight when Robert Smith fought Ticketmaster to keep The Cure ticket prices affordable
Oasis’ reunion tour pricing, music fans have spotlighted Robert Smith’s efforts to keep tickets affordable for The Cure shows.Last weekend tickets went on sale for Noel and Liam Gallagher’s reunion tour as the newly reformed Oasis for a series of 17 summer stadium gigs across the UK and beyond.Despite the pair’s strong anti-tout stance and efforts to curb inflated re-sale prices, fans soon discovered that Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing system was in place, which meant that ticket costs increased in response to demand.According to experts, not warning fans prior to the sale may have been a breach of consumer law, and Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has also called for a review into dynamic pricing and secondary ticket sites.As fans are still reeling in the disappointment of losing out on tickets, Smith’s own efforts to go up against Ticketmaster have been pulled back into focus.In an email to fans last year, The Cure frontman vowed to keep ticket prices reasonable on the band’s US tour, writing: “The Cure have agreed all ticket prices, and apart from a few Hollywood Bowl charity seats, there will be no ‘platinum’ or ‘dynamically priced’ tickets on this tour.”After tickets went on sale, the musician said he was “sickened” by high Ticketmaster fees that were still applied, and subsequently pushed Ticketmaster to give money back for “unduly high” fees.He also asked Ticketmaster to explain why tickets in the promised face value ticket exchange were “weird” and “over priced”.As the Oasis ticketing controversy remains headline news, many have praised Smith’s efforts to go up against the entertainment giant.“Let’s not forget that it is within the powers of big bands to keep tickets affordable, rein in resales and exorbitant fees

Blur’s Dave Rowntree says he would “definitely go and see” Oasis on reunion tour
Blur drummer Dave Rowntree has expressed his delight to see Oasis back together, sharing that he would be “first in the queue” to see the band live.The two Britpop bands were locked in an infamous rivalry throughout the 1990s, but it seems the Blur drummer is holding no grudges as long-feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher announced last week that they would be reuniting as Oasis for a series of 17 summer stadium gigs across the UK and beyond.Tickets went on sale over the weekend and sold out at 7pm, though the dynamic pricing structure and price fluctuation has caused much controversy and may even breach consumer law, according to experts.In a new interview with the BBC, Rowntree – who last year told El Pais that the bands now “all get along well” – said he would “definitely go and see” the Gallagher brothers’ long-awaited comeback tour next year.The drummer, who also ran as Labour’s MP candidate in Mid Sussex in the general election, added that he would be “first in the queue”, since he had never seen Oasis perform live before.“Blur and Oasis combined changed what the pop music genre meant, and that doesn’t happen very often,” he added.The musician went on to explain how people often applied “their particular prejudice” when it came to the apparent rivalry – which he said served as “helpful media hype” – between the two bands.“So people wanting to see England as a North-South divided country could lay that on there, people that wanted to view it in terms of class could do that,” he added.Rowntree’s comments come after Blur frontman Damon Albarn last year said the “road is clear” for an Oasis reunion.

Twickets make U-turn and lower fees amid ongoing criticism
Oasis tickets for next summer’s gigs.It followed a tumultuous weekend for fans trying to buy tickets for the highly-anticipated reunion shows next summer. Tickets sold out eventually, but it came after a day that saw many fans – including Louis Tomlinson – left disappointed after a series of issues arose.Fans reported that Ticketmaster crashed shortly before tickets were due to go live after receiving “503” errors and many also had to content with giant queues, which saw many fans stuck in a queue to get onto Ticketmaster for hours on end – let alone the ticket sale point itself – which lasted a further several hours for many.After that, many fans started to complain about being kicked out of the queue after being mistaken for bots, while those attempting to purchase accessible tickets reported being unable to get through to the phone lines, despite some fans calling the designated number over 400 times.Some who did eventually manage to get through the queue were then disappointed to see the cost of remaining tickets had increased due to Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing policy – something that resulted in Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy calling for a review earlier today (September 2) into “dynamic pricing” and secondary ticket sites following the scramble for Oasis tickets at the weekend.Twickets also came under fire.

Oasis are going head-to-head with Sabrina Carpenter for this week’s UK Number One single
Oasis and Sabrina Carpenter are currently competing to secure this week’s UK Number One single.According to a new update from Official Charts, the American pop star is currently looking likely to secure her second week at the top of the singles charts this week with ‘Taste’ – the latest track from her album ‘Short n’ Sweet’.Not only did the mid-week figures show the latest single leading the way, but her two previous singles, ‘Please Please Please’ and ‘Espresso’ – both of which formerly topped the charts – are close behind. They are currently in second and third place respectively.However, there seems to be some major competition from Britpop icons Oasis, who are currently seeing various classic tracks storming up the rankings in light of the announcement of their Live ‘25 reunion shows.Following them sharing the news last week, and creating a frenzy among fans when tickets went on sale over the weekend, their song ‘Live Forever’ has jumped from the Number 15 spot to Number 4.If it is to retain this place or move up past some of Carpenter’s tracks, it will mark a new best for the 1994 song, which originally peaked at Number 10 upon its release.With the long-awaited 30th anniversary edition of their ‘Definitely Maybe’ debut album finally arriving last week, other songs are making their way up the ranking too.
William John Paul Gallagher (born 21 September 1972) is an English singer and songwriter. He rose to fame as the lead singer of the rock band Oasis in the 1990s and 2000s, and later fronted the rock band Beady Eye in the early 2010s, before beginning a solo career after the dissolution of both bands. One of the most recognisable figures in British music, he is noted for his outspoken and abrasive manner; penchant for wearing parkas; distinctive singing style, in which he elongates vowels; and signature stance on stage, which consists of him holding his arms behind his back and singing up into a downward-facing microphone.
