Show Notes

There has been a lot of controversy in recent days over the ticket prices for the upcoming Oasis Croke Park gigs.

Standing ticket prices soared to over €400, and it has brought up big questions about the use of dynamic pricing.

But, as Melanie Finn argues in the Irish Independent: in a world where nobody wants to pay for their music, can we begrudge artists for soaring ticket prices?

Claire McKenna is joined by Jackie Conboy from the Music & Entertainment industry in Ireland, Dublin-based singer-songwriter Tim McStay, singer Mary Coughlan and more to discuss.
