Lucy Powell splashed put £700 for two tickets, double what she was originally quoted
Manchester Central MP and government minister Lucy Powell has revealed she forked out more than double the original quoted price for Oasis tickets.
House of Commons leader and Lord President of the Council Lucy Powell said she ended up buying two tickets for £350 each for Heaton Park in July, which were originally quoted at £148.50, not including a booking fee of £2.75. Explaining the rationalisation of this type of approach, Jonathan Brown, chief executive of the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers, told the BBC: "People are used to that shift in price."
