Oasis won’t use Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing for North America tour

Oasis has announced the North America leg of its 2025 reunion tour, with ticket sales starting on October 4th. In a welcome move, the band's management has decided not to use "dynamic pricing" for ticket sales, which allows prices to fluctuate based on demand and often leads to inflated prices. This decision comes after the band's UK and Ireland shows saw sky-high prices due to dynamic pricing, sparking outrage and an investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority. Oasis' management stated that they want to avoid a repeat of the issues fans experienced in the UK and Ireland. Instead, the band will run a presale ballot to give fans a better chance of securing tickets. The North America leg of the tour will see Oasis perform in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, Los Angeles, and Mexico City. This will be the band's first US tour since 2008. The decision to ditch dynamic pricing is a positive move for fans, who often feel ripped off by high ticket prices. The live ticketing industry has faced criticism, with the US Justice Department and 30 state and district attorneys general filing an antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation, alleging a monopoly in the industry.
