Angry fans ask: 'What's the story?' over concert tickets fiasco

THE UK's regulator of advertising says it has received more than 400 complaints over how tickets for Oasis's reunion tour next year were advertised after costs soared.

Following a widespread furore over general ticket sales on Saturday, watchdog the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it has received 450 complaints about Ticketmaster adverts for the gigs.

A spokesperson for the ASA said the complainants argue that the adverts made 'misleading claims about availability and pricing! They added: "We're carefully assessing these complaints and, as such, can't comment any further at this time. To emphasise, we are not currently investigating these ads." Prices for the band's reunion tour soared due to so-called dynamic pricing.

The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI), meanwhile, has issued a statement urging 'anyone who feels they were misled by the promotion of the Oasis tickets and the ticket platforms promoting them' to contact trading standards.
