Rizzle Kicks issue savage dig at Oasis scandal after reunion gig sells out in a minute

Reunited duo Rizzle Kicks appeared to poke fun at the controversy surrounding the sale of Oasis tour tickets as they announced their own comeback gig earlier this week.

Jordan Stephens, 32, and Harley Alexander-Sule, also 32, teased they were getting back together as Rizzle Kicks last month after having not released new music together since 2016. Following the release of their latest single Javelin, the pair announced just days ago that they would have their "first gig back" at the venue KOKO in Camden.

Tickets for the concert - which will take place at the venue in London on November 8 - are understood to have been priced at around £35. And Rizzle Kicks had assured their fans that there wouldn't be so-called 'dynamic pricing' - in which tickets increase in price alongside customer demand.

Promoting the release of tickets, posts on the duo's social media accounts earlier this week teased: "Get em quick. No 'dynamic pricing' from us. Just pure vibes." More recent posts from the duo included a photo that included text reading: "Marked Safe from dynamic ticket pricing."

It's since been announced that the gig sold out in a minute. Rizzle Kicks wrote in a subsequent post: "You lot sold out Koko in 1 minute. Madness. Can't really believe it, you guys were too fast with it [...] We love you lot and we can't wait to see you guys on the 8th Nov. It's going to be one to remember. For everyone messaging and commenting, we see you and we appreciate you. Stay tuned because there's more to come in the future from us, we got you." The comments about dynamic pricing come amid the controversy that's unfolded over the release of Oasis reunion tickets recently. It was reported that some fans paid £355 for tickets that were initially advertised as costing £148.

'Dynamic pricing' sees tickets increase in value alongside customer demand and Ticketmaster is said to have introduced the method in 2022. It was announced earlier this month that the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had launched an investigation into Ticketmaster, including over how so-called 'dynamic pricing' may have been used in the sale of tickets for Oasis' tour. The CMA however said that it should not be assumed that Ticketmaster had broken consumer protection law. As reported by BBC News at the time, a spokesperson for Ticketmaster said: "We are committed to cooperating with the CMA and look forward to sharing more facts about the ticket sale with them."
