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 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.

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.
