Personally I can think of many places I would rather be on 11 July this year than Heaton Park in Manchester. But tens of thousands of Oasis fans are collectively spending millions on tickets for the first night of their reunion tour.
Viagogo currently has a ticket on sale that, according to the site, has a face value of £2,000. All yours for £5,000 – an uplift of 150 per cent – plus a “handling and booking fee” of £755 and the VAT that applies, taking the total to £5,906. Let’s call it three times the number you first thought of.
