I do think if extra gigs were going on sale they’d have done it yesterday. Why wait? You already have the numbers in the system looking to buy tickets.
The Mirror might be wrong but what they’re saying is certainly plausible.

There'd be an uproar from those that paid dynamic pricing if new gigs are announced. The whole thing is a mess.

In truth it basically is a no-win situation, PR-wise. If they announce more dates, people will be pissed off that they paid what they did when other gigs were coming. If they don’t, people will be pissed off like they are now. And i doubt there’s any way to go through every single person who paid above initial price and give them all the difference back.
The only way to fix it would literally be refund everyone and do it all again, which isn’t fair on all the people who got them at the original price, especially those in the presale.

Well, then it's settled. It's not for the fans, it's not for breaking any records, it's not to prove anything wordlwide It's for a £ number - the least gigs possible to make the most money back for Noel's divorce One tour round the world to collect entry tax and sell t shirts The same with Taylor Swift. Why only 8 shows in London and not 48? Why did she only play 3 shows in Stockholm and nog stay for a full month? Always just about the £ number and making fans angry while selling t shirts. 48 shows ?  why not 365 a year ? Its extremely exhausting to do a show that big. I'm not Taylor Swift fans but she needs a lot of energy to do those shows. Liam is past 50, it'll be a miracle if he manages to stay on top form for all these shows already. YES, they are trying to make as much money as possible doing as little shows as possible. Clearly. Its bad, but as long as it doesn't last, they could get a pass. Now, the next tours, if any, need to have more reasonable prices. Smaller venues and all that. |

I'm gonna sound awful but wish I'd bought more tickets during the pre sale, to sell to fans at a profit, if Ticketmaster can do it, why can't I?  I would have sold them for less than the Ticketmaster high demand prices 😂 |

I should think a lot of the venues are pretty busy and the reunion meant it was a bit shorter notice so it's tough to just add a load more dates. I reckon they will do the US tour then do a week at Knebworth in 2026 and go from there. I've got a feeling that they will get on a lot better, Liam will have Debbie to calm him, his voice won't frustrate him as much, Noel will just do his thing.

This year Wembley had 17 concerts in the summer time. So it's not really a surprise that there won't be more next year. They are trying to host more concerts there but it's up to the politics.

Surely if they really wanted to, they could have some sort of system where people who paid for in demand ticket could "sign up" or "register" to have the difference paid back to them? They'd keep a lot of the money too from people who cant be bothered or are none the wiser. Beats going through every sing person. Obviously I'm speaking hypothetically here. I'm one of the poor sods that paid 360 quid for a ticket and although I'd love to get some money back I doubt it's gonna happen now unfortunately. |

Also, regarding the dynamic pricing I cant really moan too much. I was in the que for 6 hours and started at 128,000 in position.
I finally got in and got the ticket, but i can only assume that's because thousands of people in front me of got in, saw the pricing and thought "sod that" and left. If the pricing was still the original price i likely would've never stood a chance.

And I had the beginning of these dynamic prices I think for standing and seats... And just said "fuck off bastards", before to be kicked one more time. |

If they wanted to make the most money, they would add some UK dates for sure since these are the biggest arenas they can fill. So maximum profit per gig. It's probably not that simple to just hire Wembley out as many days as you want. I'm sure there are restrictions on how many concerts can be held in a period of time. Imagine living there if there was a gig every night. I've seen people say ticket prices are higher in the US. So they may well be able to make more money doing some gigs there if they can genuinely fill stadiums. It's fairly clear they're trying to make as much money from as few gigs as possible. While spending the minimum amount of time together or having to do any work for it. No PR, no interviews, Liam not even trusted to be on twitter apparently. Not so much as a thank you. |

It would have sold out in minutes, if their systems could handle all the traffic without an issue, plus if they didn't have these ridiculous queuing system. Particularly the queue was what delayed the whole thing, only to create desperation to the fans and then surprise surprise to gouge the prices. |

I have a mate who had like 40k people in front of him for Wembley and it took at least 3 hours to only get to the end of the queue I suspect the system itself was quite slow |

I honestly thought this tour was going to sell out a lot quicker I think the only reason it didn't is because the websites couldn't handle the demand. I literally couldn't access Seetickets or Gigsandtours until 9pm. Obviously sold out by then. But for a lot of people, the websites just weren't working. And then Ticketmaster had a bunch of its own issues. Not fit for purpose. |

PR and interviews will come, I think Liam not being allowed to tweet is an actual indication of that They've got one year to fill, they're gonna spread content as much as they can |
