I've been looking at tickets for Faithless, who haven't toured for 8 years which isn't quite as long but is quite a while. £50, including booking fees, with a fixed/official resale price at £55.

I'd say they're just as iconic as Oasis in the British (and international) music scene. Glad they're still relatively affordable to go and see live, I think I paid £35 last time so the rise is broadly in line with what I'd expect.

Classic CC.

10 pages of moaning that "something I don't want is too expensive."

Can I interest any of you in a £10k Pinarello? ;)

But faithless doesn’t have a fan base to sell millions of tickets.
I was listening to an interesting debate about the pricing. The point seems to be that the fans set the ticket price. If there are enough people willing to pay £300 then why not just charge £300. Otherwise the touts get the profit instead of the bands.
The issue seems to be the way they went about it. If they had just said the tickets are £300 they would still have sold out.

If Oasis end up doing a tour every few years from now on the prices will soon fall as demand drops off.

I'm a bit more cynical about that. It seems like they are just looking for moral arguments to rinse people. That being said, it is peoples prerogative to spend what they like but I very much doubt touts aren't just increasing their prices to follow suit. It just makes it more profitable to be a scumbag, increasing the incentive to be so and perhaps attracting more of them, whilst sensible people watch in despair as more access to things we used to do get shut down.

True, though their pre-sale sold out and a fair few of the shows have sold out too.
