K.J. Yossman Ticketmaster is set to face some tough questions in the U.K. after thousands of Oasis fans were left disappointed having failed to secure tickets through the site for the band’s long-awaited reunion tour.
U.K. culture minister Lisa Nandy has pledged to look into Ticketmaster’s use of “dynamic pricing,” which saw ticket prices shoot up by hundreds of pounds while fans were in queues online waiting to buy them.
Some fans reportedly abandoned their purchases having spent hours trying to get through after the prices went up by up to £200 while they were in line.
Thousands more couldn’t get through to buy tickets at all, forcing them to resort to ticket-resale sites.
