Oasis have said that they will not be using dynamic pricing on ticket sales for their just announced concert dates in the US, Canada and Mexico next year.
It comes after millions of fans were left outpriced by the controversial dynamic pricing mechanism when tickets for the band's reunion shows in Ireland the UK went on sale last August.
In a statement issued on Monday, Oasis said: "Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model will not be applied to the forthcoming sale of tickets to Oasis concerts in North America.
"It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable.
"But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.
"We have made this decision for the North America tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the UK and Ireland experienced recently."

After teasing the announcement of new dates with billboards in New York, Toronto, Chicago and other cities over the weekend, the band's official Twitter account said, "America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along."
