3 hours ago The gig economy: ticket inflation is getting worse, so where does all the money go?

Taylor Swift’s Eras tour and the Gallaghers’ ill-fated dabble with dynamic pricing have put the spotlight on how much we’re willing to pay for live music. But, on the other side of the equation, the costs can be exorbitant and the risks are eye-wateringThe news that Oasis were to reunite sparked a wave of euphoria across the nation at the end of last summer. But the nostalgia balloon was quickly punctured by the discovery that the tickets, initially priced at £148.50, had suddenly leapt to £355.20 due to dynamic pricing. The outcry quickly sparked a new debate about what constitutes a “fair” price for gig tickets, with the band themselves fanning the flames: Liam Gallagher told those bellyaching about the lack of transparency to “SHUTUP” and buy “Kneeling only” tickets for £100,000 instead.Dynamic pricing, where the cost rises in real time in lockstep with demand, is hardly new. Parallels are often made with the surge pricing used on budget airlines and taxi-booking apps, ...

The release of Palestinian detainees came after three Israeli hostages were freed on SundayFull report: Palestinians celebrate as prisoners freedThe Spanish government has welcomed the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which will allow for an increase in aid to the strip. The Spanish foreign ministry said the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) is “essential and irreplicable” to the delivery of humanitarian relief in the territory.Israel’s government is still committed to its plan to ban Unrwa from operating and to cut all ties between the agency and the Israeli government. It has accused the UN agency of allowing Hamas militants to infiltrate its staff, an allegation the agency denies. Unrwa is the major distributor of aid in Gaza and provides education, health and other basic services to millions of Palestinian refugees across the region, including in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.It is essential that negotiations between the parties resume immediately in order to move on to the s...

6 hours ago We All Come Home Alive by Anna Beecher review – the pain of grief and joy of living

Beecher’s beautiful memoir, written partly in response to the death of her brother aged 25, describes in startling detail the highs and lows of existenceThe title of Anna Beecher’s first work of nonfiction can be read in various ways – an expression of triumph, relief or anticlimax. She uses it as a punchline to the book’s opening chapter, which recounts a car accident she experienced as a graduate student in the US. Here she conjures in vivid detail the violent shock of impact, the moments of silent disbelief in the immediate aftermath as she waits for understanding to catch up with physical sensation, dreading the discovery of what happened to the occupants of the other car, now spinning on its roof.In the event, no one is hurt, but Beecher pictures all too readily a parallel reality in which the crash resulted in several deaths, and she and her friend return home carrying the weight of that knowledge. “Our lives are punctured by moments of impossibility when the future unlatches ...

Throughout the 2024 season, Sinner not only held his opponents in a chokehold on the biggest stages, he had often done so with his typical calm, neutral expression barely changing. As Sinner methodically compiled significant titles throughout the 2024 season, he made his immense efforts appear to be routine.Three sets into his highly anticipated intragenerational tussle with Holger Rune, though, Sinner was clearly uncomfortable. He limped gingerly between points, his hands shook as he sat down at the change of ends and, most importantly, his unforced errors piled up. Down two break points at 1-1 in set three, Sinner was in trouble. Continue reading...
