Young will play two concerts in the UK, headlining Glastonbury festival on 28 June and BST Hyde Park on 11 July.</p><p>The most notorious recent example of dynamic pricing was for Oasis’s UK tour: the huge demand meant that <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/tickets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tickets</span></a> that were originally £148.50 rose to £355.20. Fans were outraged and culture secretary Lisa Nandy called out the practice, saying it was “incredibly depressing”.</p><p><a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/LiamGallagher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LiamGallagher</span></a> was initially unrepentant, telling a fan to “shut up” after they complained about the prices, but the band later distanced themselves from the issue, saying: “<a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Oasis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oasis</span></a> leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management”. While calling dynamic pricing “a useful tool” they also acknowledged its use in the UK ticket sales resulted in “an unacceptable experience for fans”, and did not use dynamic pricing for other territories on their world tour.</p><p>Not only have <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/TheCure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheCure</span></a> banned dynamic pricing for their tours, they also set ticket prices low and have confronted Ticketmaster over other fees. In 2023, after seeing that US fans were being charged service fees that were sometimes greater than the face-value cost of the tickets, Smith took the company to task, saying he was “sickened” by the fees. <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Ticketmaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ticketmaster</span></a> backed down and offered a $10 refund on the affected tickets.”</p><p>&lt;<a href="https://theguardian.com/music/2025/mar/17/neil-young-rejects-dynamic-ticket-pricing-robert-smith" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/music/2025/mar</span><span class="invisible">/17/neil-young-rejects-dynamic-ticket-pricing-robert-smith</span></a>&gt;</p>
