Ticketmaster have a monopoly on Oasis tickets and we already have controls on monopolies. Oasis tickets are not an essential, and not a monopoly as other band tours are available Nowhere else to get Oasis tickets. |

Price control does exist in essential services, but to add it to non essential items and where does it stop? Government saying how much a car should cost? Controlling what you can spend and buy? Nanny knows best? Sure. I suppose rent control would come under the heading of price regulation of an essential item, now that I think about it. I'm not convinced one way or the other, but I don't see that regulating price gouging is necessarily a bad thing. It's not really controlling what you can spend, as you say - it's more about control over what prices you can charge. It's a very different thing. If you limit what you can charge, you limit quality, you limit supply. |

What has 300 legs, weighs 20 tons and doesn't eat meet? A: the queue for the state regulated meat shop in Soviet Russia. And that's the alternative to a market economy Are you against rent control? No, because government limit the number of houses available. |
