Oasis fans could spend £1 bn on UK concerts: study
- Noel and Liam Gallagher put an end to their 15-year rivalry and revealed that Oasis would embark on a reunion tour beginning July 4 in Cardiff, featuring 17 fully booked shows across the UK during the summer.
- The reunion came amid widespread public frustration about the high ticket prices and concerns that fans purchased "platinum" seats that did not provide any extra benefits.
- Ticketmaster sold more than 900,000 tickets, and almost 1.4 million people are expected to attend, while Lloyds reported fans lost over £2 million to ticket scams mainly on Facebook.
- Barclays estimated that Oasis fans could spend nearly £1.06 billion, averaging around £766 per fan, including tickets, transportation, accommodation, merchandise, food, drink, and new outfits.
- The concerts highlight a fundamental shift in consumer spending towards experiences, but the ticket sale and associated scams prompted a Competition and Markets Authority investigation into Ticketmaster.
