Weren't the Swifties supposed to use their power for good and burn Ticketmaster to the ground??? What happened with that?

[nermal_kat]

They are busy gearing up for Taylor's big Kamala endorsement.

[jojito]

Nah, they seem desperate to keep throwing money at Taylor no matter what.

The surge/in demand pricing Ticketmaster used is insane and so evil. And the band hasn’t done a thing about it… seems like they agreed to it?

Robert Smith would be making Ticketmaster refund the difference from face value to the people who paid it!

[insomniachobs]

Artists have to agree to surge pricing, so there's no way it happened without Oasis's say so.

It's all a pretty awful look for them because they have been really loud about warning fans off buying from scalpers, they won't honour touted tickets, only use the official resale site... and then it turns out they only want you not to use scalpers so Ticketmaster and Twickets can scalp you instead. Between the surge pricing and the official resale prices which pile more on top, basic standing tickets have become absurdly priced. None of which sits particularly well with Oasis's background as a working class Northern band...

But hey, they've sold most of the capacity and the money's in their pockets so I doubt they give a toss.

Ticketmaster gouging and bullshit is the #1 reason why I don't do live shows now.

Jenna's comment is killing me lol

[aliceofclubs]

wonderwall is nice but overrated imo

she should check out Champagne Supernova to get into oasis

[champagnexdream]

Yesss tho I'm partial to "Stop Crying Your Heart Out," but mostly bc of The Butterfly Effect lol (it plays over the end scene and is perfect)

[hypermuseic9]

ticketmaster can never get it right. It's their sole purpose to sell tickets and they can't even do it right. delete it!

I'm also a Blur stan. I like Oasis but Damon is my man, my man.

[anterrabre]

I prefer Damon as well because he basically creates music, minds his business (unless he gets dragged into shit), and isn't an asshole.

I thought Damon was so hot in the Song 2 video. My youth!
