Like hundreds of thousands of people this summer Ali Jones was mad for it. “I spent six months trying to get resale tickets for the Oasis concert in Cardiff,” says Jones, who landed two tickets for the opening night of the band’s reunion tour, two weeks before the big night, at £500 each.
He didn’t stop there. Jones, who works in the wine business, bought four tickets for Heaton Park in Manchester at £120 a pop, then two more for Wembley Stadium, a snip at £80 each. Add in travel, hotels, beer and food, and he estimates that he spent well over £2,000 for the Oasis experience. While it hasn’t gone down well with his fiancée, given the couple are in the process of buying a house, Jones has no regrets.
How’s business? Sucks.
