The British government has announced an investigation into dynamic pricing practices used by ticketing websites, following chaos surrounding Oasis reunion tour ticket sales. Prices for some tickets more than doubled, prompting concerns about fair access to live events.
After the incredible news of Oasis' return, it's depressing to see vastly inflated prices excluding ordinary fans from having a chance of enjoying their favorite band live.
