All he needs to do is keep quiet and let Harris blab away with her word salad incoherence and people can then decide who they prefer.

The trouble is that Ticketmaster are very vague when it comes to how they operate and the silence from the Oasis camp isn't great either. A classic case of supply, demand and greed. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9495 - 03/09/2024 11:38:12 2568181 Link 1 |
Do you think keeping quiet is in his make-up? Pun intended!

Also her word salad incoherence? You haven't been following Donald then?

LOL - If you ever actually read the transcripts from Trump's speeches you'd question if he was sober and corpus mentis. But he literally could get up on stage saying any old ***** and his supporters would still lap it up. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9495 - 03/09/2024 14:46:19 2568237 Link 0 |
Not affected by the Oasis hype, I'm of a different musical era. You are right if people are ok with inflated prices to stand for hours at a concert, then groups, or promoters will get away with inflated prices. You are not a fan obviously. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1879 - 03/09/2024 15:00:20 2568247 Link 0 |
Fair play to ye for doing that Lockjaw. I think that not enough Irish people complain about poor service when there's options to complain to regulator/ombudsman or to give poor reviews and business's will often contact you looking to put things right. The more you let them get away with poor/ripoff service the more they will keep doing it.

I'm lucky to have gotten tickets through the res pre-sale at the "normal" price for the pitch. Still the most amount of money I've spent on gig tickets. But that's the only expense I'll have on the day really so maybe it's not so bad. I was a big fan back in the day and saw them a few times before they broke up, and have seen them both in their various post-Oasis lineups. But I agree with you on Ticketmaster. They should, at the very least, have to have a transparent and easily available Ticket-Price list before all events. Also, I'm no IT expert but in this day and age surely there's a way to make the buying of tickets less of a shambles then it currently is through ticketmaster. They're website and app are just not fit for purpose for high demand events. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13778 - 03/09/2024 19:58:11 2568303 Link 0 |
Yeah I know what you mean. In any competent IT department there should be a capacity/performance testing team who have a test environment identical to production. There are loads of performance testing tools where you can mimic unprecedented massive customer demand (and DDOS attacks). Also - with cloud computing there is the ability to very quickly spin up additional computing resources as demand suddenly increases. Then, as the demand subsides again you can easily terminate the compute that is no longer required. Takes a bit of planning and budgeting though, which evidently Ticketmaster got wrong.

You hit the nail on the head there. When you find a donkey you ride it. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 2062 - 04/09/2024 11:03:27 2568376 Link 0 |
Did they get it wrong tho? To have gotten it wrong, you'd have to assume their intention was not to frustrated fans to the point of desperation, seeing them then pay whatever price was asked to secure the tickers they were so 'lucky' to be offered. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5129 - 04/09/2024 13:16:32 2568403 Link 1 |

You saw his debate with Biden? He let nature take its course there and said very little.

Wow a modern day philosopher we have. Talk to me after the election. This isn't 2016.

That's her word salad right there for you. BTW I don't care which one of them wins, they are both very poor candidates in a country of over 300 million people. It shows the decline of a once half decent country.

I never said she was a brilliant candidate. She's just more capable than him currently. And if you can't see his madness then there is no talking to you.

It was the greatest country in the world (for those of WASP decent) in the 1950s. The American empire is now in the age of decadence and on the verge of total collapse, which began with Reaganomics destroying their unions and pulling their social services apart. Fine Gael are trying to do the same thing here like Thatcher on the UK Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3071 - 04/09/2024 15:58:19 2568438 Link 0 |
