A national emergency (not really) provokes a bonus NO ENCORE (yes, really) as Dave Hanratty attempts to wrap his head around the great Oasis ticketing scandal of 2024.
What a difference a week and some last-minute dynamic pricing make, eh? Last Saturday has been and gone, and so too have the hopes and dreams of many crushed Britpop fans.
As for those who found their way to the top of a very long queue? Well, they either walked away in protest at a sudden colossal spike in ticket prices, or they're going to be budgeting hard for the next month to come.
Call it dynamic pricing, call it an 'in demand' ticket, call it the price of doing ruthless business, call it plain old greed - whatever the phrasing, Liam and Noel Gallagher find themselves counting an awful lot of cash as many disgruntled fans suffer the cost.
On this episode, Dave is joined by Jim Carroll, RTÉ Brainstorm editor and former (well, mostly) outspoken music journalist of renown, to examine the questionable mechanics of the Mancunian money machine.
