Oasis tickets bought with dynamic pricing are on 'ethical' resale websites abroad for over €560
OASIS TICKETS FOR this weekend's much-awaited gigs at Croke Park are being sold for over €500 on 'ethical' and 'fair' resale platforms that cap prices relative to the face value cost. The Journal has previously reported that tickets for the sold out shows have been resold on Ticketmaster for close to €600, but new searches ahead of the weekend gigs have shown they are also being sold on resale platforms based in the UK and Australia. UK-based Twickets is the official resale platform for the 41-concert Oasis '25 tour, with the website only allowing tickets to be resold at the face value paid 'plus a standard booking fee between 10-15%'. The website states: Twickets is an ethical ticket resale marketplace, enabling users to sell spare tickets at the price they paid, or less. We have partnered with Oasis as their official ticket resale platform to protect fans from being ripped off by profiteering resale sites that encourage ticket touting. A search of Twickets for the Dublin gigs showed tickets available listed at between €357 and €515. Several of these tickets are described as being originally sold by Ticketmaster as 'In Demand' tickets, which was the description used for the dynamic pricing model that was controversially used for some tickets when they went on sale last year. Dynamic pricing essentially describes a fluctuating price which rises with increased demand and, in the case of Oasis tickets, led to fans paying hundreds of euros for tickets. Advertisement It is unclear exactly how many of the tickets sold for the Croke Park gigs were bought via fixed pricing or via dynamic pricing, but much of what is available through resale websites are clearly dynamically priced tickets being resold. Twickets states this explicitly in listings, saying: 'These are standard tickets sold at varying prices by the original retailer, which may be much greater than other similar tickets.' In the case of two tickets being resold which The Journal saw this week, one was a dynamically priced ticket for the Lower Cusack Stand which originally sold for €490 but which was now available for €515 . The other was an Upper David Stand ticket which sold via dynamic pricing for €332 and was now available for €357 . In these cases, the resale prices are 5% and 7% above the original face value prices, respectively. Twickets Twickets The resale of tickets above face value has been banned in Ireland since 2021 and, as a result, Oasis tickets being sold at inflated prices has largely not been prevalent on online marketplaces such as whose owner has common shareholders with Journal Media, states on its website that all ticket sales must be 'at face value (plus booking fee and additional costs) or less' and that 'moderators reserve the right to remove any ad that is deemed excessive'. In one case, The Journal viewed an ad listed by a seller on which said that they were selling a ticket on another website, Tixel, before the post was removed. Australian-headquartered Tixel operates across a number of territories and allows sellers to list tickets for resale at a prices that are capped at 20% above face value. Related Reads Liam Gallagher slams Scottish council for its description of Oasis fans Consumer watchdog launches investigation into Ticketmaster's handling of Oasis ticket sales The Oasis ticket scramble has put 'dynamic pricing' back in the news: What exactly is it? 'This allows sellers to cover the fees associated with listing a ticket on Tixel as well as regain the face value they paid for the ticket,' the website states. Tixel takes a cut of 5.9% of the purchase price and the company says it has a 'mission' to be 'fair, accessible, and transparent'. 'We've built an event marketplace that helps fans get to their favourite shows without paying through the nose to be there,' the website adds. Tixel Tixel A search of Tixel did show a number of tickets for Oasis in Croke Park, with one listed as being a Standing ticket bought via dynamic pricing for €437 which was now available for €481 . Another Platinum ticket for the Lower Hogan Stand was listed as having been purchased for €516 which was now being sold for €567 . Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

Love Island's Dejon breaks silence on ‘Surviving Dejon' book written by step-sister who branded him a ‘narcissist'
LOVE Island alum, Dejon Noel-Williams, says he plans to challenge a tell all book slate for release and penned by his sister who had labelled him a "narcissist." During his time in the villa on the ITV2 reality dating show, Dejon came under fire for his controversial behaviour and now his step-sister has added to the chorus of criticism. 4 Love Island's Dejon has spoken out about a book written by his step-sister Credit: Instagram/@capitalxtra 4 Dejon said the book is full of 'untruths' Credit: Instagram/@capitalxtra 4 Dejon's step-sister Niah called him 'manipulative' Credit: ITV His step-sister Niah, who is not biologically related to Dejon but shares a brother with him, has released a book named 'Surviving Dejon,' where she accused him "gaslighting" and "abusive." But Dejon has now broken his silence the ordeal and said Niah's book was full of "untruths" and he planned to take action. The footballer was dumped on day 56 of this year's Love Island, alongside his girlfriend, Meg Moore, whom he said knows him well despite what Niah had to say about him. "There's a lot of untruths and unfair stories that I am challenging at the moment, the most important thing is Meg knows who I am, my family know who I am," Dejon said during an interview on Capital X radio. Dejo then even gave a "shoutout" to previously dumped Islanders Andrada and Billykiss, who were quick to support him once he and Meg left the villa. "They told me, 'Dejon there's a lot of things being said about you, we know that's not you, we know that's not how you are as a person'," he revealed. "So shoutout to them they didn't need to do that." Prior to releasing her book, Niah had posted a series of scathing videos to TikTok where she tore shreds off Dejon's character. In the six minute video, Niah claims that what viewers have seen on TV is an accurate reflection of how Dejon behaves in real life, she began: " So I've decided to speak out because I've been silent for way too long and I know that I will be receiving probably alot of backlash from my family for this. "You guys are all clearly very traumatised from seeing Dejon on TV and seeing everything that he's doing and watching everything play out it seems as though no one is holding him accountable. Love Island's Dejon responds to step-sister's claims that he's a 'narcissist' and 'manipulative' as he insists it's 'false' She went on to say: 'Dejon is a narcissist, he's manipulative. I've been telling everyone this for the past 10 years now but no one believed me. And it's just crazy now that the whole of the UK can see what I've been trying to explain to people for so long." Niah also revealed in a later video that four family members had messaged her asking her to take her video down. "So, yeah, that clearly isn't a coincidence," Niah said speaking on the family messages: "At first, I did consider taking it down, but then I realised why would I take something down when I strongly believe in everything that I said." Dejon then took to his own social media to denounce Niah's video and deny her claims. "I feel like there's a lot of false stories out there about me which are very untrue, unfair and I feel like from that, really big up to my supporters," Dejon told his followers.
