Transcript

00:00And have you guys tried to get Oasis tickets today?

00:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:03And so I think you've been successful, haven't you?

00:05Yeah, we've got some staples left, but I think we're hard at work.

00:08We've had to be on there since 7.

00:10And how long did... how many hours were you waiting for?

00:13Four.

00:13Four, wow.

00:14And what...

00:15We did them though, back in 1997.

00:18Did you?

00:19Rubbish.

00:21Really?

00:22What do you think about some of the surge ticket pricing,

00:24with people getting through and being asked to pay £200 more

00:28than what was originally stated?

00:29It's not fair, it's not fair.

00:30Surge pricing.

00:31People that want to go, they can't afford those prices, I don't think.

00:35Yeah.

00:35Do you think there should be more...

00:36I saw Oasis for £25 when the Sheffield Arena opened in 2007, 2007.

00:42And how were they at that time?

00:45I won't rate your bags, I can't remember.

00:47And most importantly, do you think they'll break up before we get to next year?

00:51Possibly.

00:52That's a great question.

00:55Who knows?

00:56So have you guys tried to get Oasis tickets today?

01:00Yeah.

01:01Were you successful?

01:02You've all been so lucky, haven't you?

01:04I've managed to get in Fredinburgh, but I live in Sheffield,

01:07so that's going to be a little bit of a try.

01:09Oh god.

01:10And what do you think about some of the surge pricing for the standing tickets?

01:13Disgusting, yeah.

01:15I don't see how they can put a tweet out

01:17and say that they're not third-party resale and charging £5,000, yeah.

01:22When you get to the final tickets and say,

01:24oh you've got tickets on Ticketmaster and it's £355 a ticket,

01:28I think Liam and Noel need to have a reality check.
