It’s more likely to go the other way at last minute. The FOMO will be real and people will pay even more out last minute. There was zero indication during Taylor Swift eras tour of the price going down. The closer to the final dates the higher the price.
 
Reading on the BBC news, hilarious about this Rachel Board...

Rachael Board from Devon, told BBC News she’d woken up “feeling like she’d been completely ripped off” after paying £495 for a ticket, far higher than the £150 she’d intended to pay.

Yes, there's no "feeling" like you were ripped off, you actually were ripped off. Do people just have a stupid moment when they're presented with the price of a ticket being a significant % uplift to the original price and still decide to buy it. I hope she enjoys her £500 gig, I'm sure the brothers will be laughing at the amount they'll be spending in the future.
 
When you're 4 hours in it's a huge buzz, like gambling, to get to the front of the queue....you've won. Now's your moment. £500 quid, who cares, buy buy buy as in 10 seconds it might be gone.

It's setup like that, horrible.

Nothing will happen but anybody who paid over face value for the tickets via ticket master should be refunded the extra.
 
We paid for 'VIP' tickets to see the Taylor Hawkins tribute gig at Wembley, because everything else had sold out and we were desperate to see them. I think it was around £400 a ticket.

Wembley was ******* shocking for any kind of direction about getting in. The VIP aspect got us free booze for 2 hours before the gig in a posh bar (think it was the Lioness Club which was cool), but the seats were no different to normal paying punters. And as it took us so long getting in, stewards not having a clue, we ended up with about 20 minutes of free booze before it started, then the private bar closed.

Never again, it was an absolute **** take. And I'm never going to Wembley again, they couldn't organise a session in a brewery.

At 400 million at least, they will pretend to like each other, nobody is that stupid.

I know 6 people who did exactly that, got to the front of the queue, offered only Platinum or Hospitality so took Platinum at £489 each.
My Sister, Bro In Law, Nephew, his wife, my youngest daughter and her husband.
 
The real sad thing is that live music at a grass roots level is dying with venues shutting down all over the country as there is just no money in it. Bands don’t ’play the circuit’ anymore when they are getting established it’s all social media. Arena tours are debuts these days or so it seems.

Very true mate.
 
moreover they need to stop resale too at hiked prices - which seems to be excuse for this dynamic pricing which was tracking them -
the misnomer that 1000's of people subsequently change their plans and want to sell on .. we don't have this resale for airline tickets/train/boat tickets.
(even though prices of them go up if you are booking travel tickets late when availibility is low)
 
Gov could fix it. Just make it illegal and shut ll the sites down. If you change your mind you can get a refund from the seling site minus a capped processing fee. The selling site can then resale at face value.
 
Buying and selling tickets you won’t use for financial advantage - the devil.

Meanwhile, buying and selling property you won’t use for financial advantage - well that’s hunky dory. People should just be able to save and buy at those higher prices - it’s a fair landscape and equal opportunity for all :p

I definitely agree that regulating the ticket resale industry is needed - but at the same time, there’s bigger fish to fry IMO.
