Beskrivelse

Think you’re getting a good deal? Think again. From concert tickets to sporting events to flights you swear were cheaper yesterday, the modern economy has learned one powerful lesson: If you really want it, you’ll pay more. In this episode, we dive into the wild world of surveillance pricing, algorithmic gouging and bots buying all the good seats, We unpack how companies are mining your clicks, your device, your postcode, and even your team loyalty to work out exactly how much pain your wallet can take — and then squeeze a bit harder. Along the way: * Ticketmaster trauma * Fyre-Festival-level FIFA pricing energy * Dynamic pricing shenanigans * Why incognito mode is basically a placebo * And the rise of the “you look rich — that’ll be £400 more” economy Welcome to the future of pricing. For you, special price.
