Chappell Roan and Oasis Combat Scalpers with Ticket Cancellations
Both artists take measures to ensure fans have fair access to concert tickets amid high demand.
- Chappell Roan canceled tickets bought by scalpers for her Tennessee show and created a special Ticketmaster page for fans to buy recovered tickets.
- Roan's move follows Oasis's similar efforts for their reunion tour, where they established a face-value ticket exchange to prevent excessive markups.
- Oasis faced backlash due to Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing, which led to inflated ticket prices despite their preventive measures.
- Roan's actions highlight ongoing issues with ticket scalping and the challenges artists face in ensuring fair ticket distribution.
- The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority is investigating Ticketmaster's handling of Oasis's ticket sales for potential breaches of consumer protection law.
