Scotcast - Is live music a rip off?

It’s an expensive time to be a fan of live music. Ticketmaster has been told to change the way it advertises prices after an investigation into dynamic pricing found it 'may have misled' fans over £350 tickets for the Oasis tour.

We ask Arab Strap musician Aidan Moffat and manager and presenter Aarti Joshi how gigs have changed for fans and the bands trying to make a living in the industry in Scotland.

And Martin surprises Natalie with Scotland’s latest international sporting success.

Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
