Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson on Monday indicated the Government could investigate “dynamic pricing” for flights and holidays after a row over the sale of Oasis tickets - but admitted she preferred the band’s arch-rivals Blur.

The market model also known as surge pricing, which inflates prices at peak demand, saw Oasis fans hurried into paying much more than they were expecting when standard tickets more than doubled from £148 to £355 on Ticketmaster.
