Oasis Story

 This is an amusing story.

Back in the early 1990s....this rock-band formed in Birmingham, England.  Name of the group?  Oasis.  You may have heard of them.

Two years into their 'adventure'....a record label signed them up, and they put out their first record.

It's safe to say from 1993 to 1999....they were on the fast-lane....widely known, and mostly in disagreement about their music.  In 1999....two of the original members of the group got stressed-out and  left.

As the next decade went on....more members came and went.  What remained were the two brothers...Liam and Noel, and a replacement group.

Around 2009, various issues came up and trying to get Liam and Noel to be functional....were lost.  The band dissolved.

In the past month....Liam and Noel have found some path to regroup, and have concerts. 

So the ticket process opened up.....tickets sold out (mostly to people who are 35 to 60).  Yeah, tickets sold out.....then they popped up on various outlets....priced at a hefty profit.

Yesterday morning....it came out that the British authorities are disturbed by the profit business with the band's tickets.

Not  to be outdone.....the EU stood up yesterday and said they need to be in the middle of this....so there will be some kind of EU commission investigation (yeah, we really need that going on).

Regulations likely to come out of this crap?  Yeah.  

But here's the thing....if you start messing with concert tickets....won't you open up a can of worms?  Why would you price X-band tickets at 120 Euro?  Isn't pro-soccer in the same  discussion?  Why should I pay 40 Euro for a soccer game?  

All of this political hype....occurring over a stupid re-grouping of Oasis?  Yeah, that's the amazing part of the story.
