'Disgraceful': Aussies React to High Oasis Ticket Prices
The recent announcement of Oasis's Australian tour has been met with a wave of outrage from fans, who are slamming the exorbitant ticket prices. Many are calling the pricing "disgraceful" and "outrageous," questioning whether the band is taking advantage of their loyal following.
The outrage stems from the fact that ticket prices for general admission are starting at a whopping $149, with reserved seating reaching as high as $399. This is significantly higher than previous concerts by similar artists, leaving many fans feeling like they're being priced out of the experience.
"I'm a huge Oasis fan, but I can't justify spending that much money on a ticket," one fan wrote on social media. "It's just not realistic for most people, especially with the cost of living going up."
Another added: "It's a slap in the face to loyal fans who've been following them for years. They're exploiting their popularity and it's really disappointing."
The anger is further fuelled by the fact that the band's setlist is reportedly going to be heavy on their greatest hits, with minimal new material. This has led some to believe the tour is more of a cash grab than a genuine celebration of their music.
"It's all about the money these days, isn't it?" one fan lamented. "They're just rehashing old songs and charging ridiculous prices. It's a shame."
Despite the public outcry, the promoters of the tour have defended the ticket pricing, arguing that the band's popularity and global demand justify the cost. However, this has done little to quell the outrage among fans who are feeling increasingly alienated by the band's decision.
The backlash against Oasis's Australian tour serves as a stark reminder of the increasing cost of live music and the growing frustration among fans who feel priced out of attending concerts. It remains to be seen whether the band will address the concerns of their fans or if the tour will proceed as planned.
