Story summary

Oasis (the rock band) praised Victoria's anti-scalping laws after their Melbourne shows, calling them a "huge win for real fans."
The Victorian government designated the concerts as major events, prohibiting resale above 10% of face value.
This led to 180,000 tickets going directly to fans, effectively blocking scalpers like Viagogo.
