Following the ticket chaos of Taylor Swift's The Eras tour, the conversation has shifted to Ticketmaster's monopoly and their "dynamic pricing" model.

Even Bruce thinks dynamic pricing is ok!! - maybe Peter Aiken talked him out of it for Ireland

Interesting. Completely? Hotels, airlines will be affected also

 

[Brendan Burgess]

Yes, and include property auctions while they are at it.

When someone puts their house up for sale, they should specify the price and it must be sold to the first person who offers the asking price.

That would cut out a lot of messing.

This is going to get quite interesting, now, given the outcome of their last investigation....

They can hardly entrust Ticketmaster and it's "partners" to put matters right, by themselves, a second time, can they?

 

[Brendan Burgess]

It's main partner is Oasis.

Let the CCPC attack Oasis.

Maybe no one complained about Oasis?

I know that my own complaint was only against Ticketmaster.

Then it was a misdirected or incomplete complaint.

No, it was specific to the areas that I had personal concerns with.
