OMG this is flawed on so many levels I don't know where to start. Comparisons with dynamic pricing in other sectors, the point is there are alternatives, but there are only 14 dates currently on this tour. You can't choose when to go. @FanFairAlliance

Oasis ‘Dynamic Pricing’ Ticket Warning😳

This is genius...

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

This is an incredible piece of work by @JonathanPieNews.

From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance.

You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇

Some stats from today’s New York Times. Something to ponder tomorrow…

We've seen over 40 festival closures in the UK this year and it's crucial to understand what's happening in our industry. Check out this article from IQ Magazine featuring our CEO John Rostron discussing the current landscape.

This is indeed delicious...!

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Nick Robinson handing Rishi Sunak his arse is extremely satisfying to watch.

Sunak is either completely mad or a compulsive liar to keep doubling down on this. Mind you, this is the Tory party that legislated against objective reality.

The sheer shamelessness is staggering.

The quote about "knowing the price of everything, but the value of nothing" springs to mind... nevermind tone deaf, wilfully ignorant...

[helienne @helienne]

Daniel Ek, completely tone deaf. The cost of creating quality music (as he calls it, "content") is not 'close to zero'. Great music is medicine for the soul – it takes years of unpaid practice, years of unpaid trials and errors, in addition to equipment, paying mixing engineers..

[Crispin Hunt @crispinhunt]

Superb MUST READ @RobertoNeri47⁩ , new CEO ⁦@IvorsAcademy⁩ : “[Songwriters are] always the ones that give time & almost gamble on particular projects on a daily basis, so we'd like to see fair compensation around the hard work they're doing." https://t.co/8Iwl4QtPZ4

Some personal news.

@DrGMusgrave @mitpress Interesting, and a great title!

Your reminder that they knew we’d be worse off…

But did it anyway.

... and depressing. What on earth can't those constituents see about car crash @trussliz , that pretty much the rest of the UK can?

[JOHN NICOLSON 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 @MrJohnNicolson]

Astonishing.

[The FAC @FeaturedArtists]

📰 Our CEO, David Martin and Lily Fontaine, from the band English Teacher/FAC Ambassadors, spoke to The Guardian about the reality of the grassroots touring.

Utterly speechless. There has to be accountability at the very top of these shambolic organisations whose only interests are self-serving and greed.
