Hands up if you want tickets for Oasis? Everyone! But there's limited supply. Some people will pay more than others. How much is a fair price?

I think that tickets should be sold on a reverse auction starting at £10,000 with the price dropping by £1 a minute. There are 10,080 minutes in a week. The number of tickets remaining would be shown. Fans would be able to place bids in advance at any price they like.

Ticket touts would be also be out of business.

Tell me what you think.

Depends if you think everyone should pay the same amount for the same product. Could be some kind of reverse auction where everyone pays the same lowest amount, so if there are ten thousand tickets available, everyone bids but the highest ten thousand people only end up paying the amount of the ten thousandth highest bid.

Would depend on tiered sections etc at different prices. Or they could set a price and do a random draw. Ultimately if something is oversubscribed then some people will be disappointed. And if something sells out in seconds then it was underpriced. Anything else is a moral call,
