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, ...

8 hours ago Elon Musk stands accused of pretending to be good at video games. The irony is delicious | Keza MacDonald

Musk desperately wants to appropriate gamer credibility, but he may be faking it – and doing exactly what toxic nerds have been accusing women of doing for decadesLast year on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Elon Musk claimed to be one of the world’s best Diablo IV players – and surprisingly, the leaderboards backed him up. For those that haven’t had the pleasure, Diablo is one of the most mercilessly time-intensive video games out there; you build a character and carve through armies of demons, spending hundreds of hours refining skills and equipment for maximum hellspawn-cleansing efficiency. I played it for maybe five hours last year and immediately quit, for fear that it would consume my life. Most of the people who play it are young, often male, and have plenty of time to themselves to spend on the internet and playing games – so, the exact demographic of many Musk stans.It suited these hardcore gamer guys to believe that someone who tweets all day and runs several businesses was also an ...

World No 1 sees off Holger Rune 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2Italian will face either Alex de Minaur in last eightIt took the double blow of illness and the oppressive conditions of a blistering Melbourne summer for Jannik Sinner to look uncomfortable on a hard, acrylic-based tennis court for the first time in well over a year. 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...
