    Pretty sure Swift has used dynamic pricing in the past. She's also used what they call slow ticketing, which is setting face value of tickets so high shows only sell out right before the event, often when some of the tickets are discounted. This is going to be the problem with any sort of...

    Looks more like its an idea from the Estonian side. There's older articles from a couple of weeks ago where one of their ministers talks about offering out their spare prison capacity to generate income. Can't imagine it would be cheap but something has to be done. Not sure how long we can run...

    How would that work, wouldn't you have to staff them with British prison officers? We hardly have loads of those spare.

    Ticketmaster have never given ticket pricing information in the queue whether dynamic pricing is in place or not. Always pissed me off as for a lot of tours there's zero pricing released before hand. Helps them jack the prices up and have people panic buy. Would be nice to see some changes, and...

    Cancelled flight compensation

    That’s useful, will have to do some digging when I’m back. Just kind of seems common sense that if they say they can’t get you home on the day you’ve booked and paid for then they should have to cover the cost of someone else doing it but things are never that straightforward

    Oasis Reunion

    You can play anything you like. What you should actually do at any level is fill in a form with the set list and songwriters and that goes off to the performing rights society here which is linked to similar societies worldwide. Then the songwriters, or whoever owns the rights, gets paid their...

    Where do I sign up 😂 Always found it a bit odd you never hear a thing about her locally. We celebrate a band like the Enemy but not someone local who plays arenas worldwide

    Cancelled flight compensation

    Seems to be a few things they should do but don’t actually bother When they wanted to move me to a BA flight later in the week they didn’t even offer to sort accommodation Looks like they make people arrange things themselves then make the system for compensation pretty complicated Seeing...

    Cancelled flight compensation

    Yeah, that’s my next thing to check when I get home Logically you’d think if you’ve had to pay out an extra £600 to get home you should be able to get it back somehow

    Cancelled flight compensation

    Cheers, it seems to be that if they offer you another flight, no matter when it is, they’re covered for everything but the £200 compensation Pretty annoying but is it a surprise that the systems loaded in their favour

    Cancelled flight compensation

    Anybody know anything about this? BA cancelled my flight home today, literally just sent a text last night saying it was cancelled. They rebooked me on a flight later this week as everything else is full but I need to be back at work tomorrow. Had to book with another airline so I’m £600 down...

    Was going to ask if it was Jen & Skillet. Going to see them at the NEC in a couple of months.

    Fucking BA have cancelled my flight home. All they did was send a text and say look on the website for another flight. Website shows all flights fully booked until later in the week. So I’ve had to fork out nearly £600 with another airline and won’t be home, if all goes well as I’m no longer...

    Southport Stabbing

    Not trying to justify anything. Tbh I assumed you were taking about the stabbings / murders so we’re a bit at crossed purposes here. Totally agree that those who have assaulted emergency service workers should face stiff punishment. But I don’t think it’s hard to see why the rioters were fast...

    Has anyone been arrested? That’s a key step before you can lock people up! Even if they have unless they are pleading guilty then I can’t imagine these are quick or easy cases and you want to be certain you’ve done everything you can to secure a conviction. The rioters could be fast tracked...

    the issues

    I always find it odd in these discussions that people seem to assume every transfer window has gone exactly to plan. People seem to think Robins and / or the recruitment team identify who they want and then that’s it, we sign them. If we don’t sign a player in a particular position it’s never...
