Charges were introduced at the beauty spot car parks on 10 February to try and raise more revenue for the authority.People parking at Golden Acre Park, Otley Chevin, Roundhay Park, Temple Newsam and Middleton Park now have to pay £4 for the day or £80 for a year's season ticket.

Meters at Otley Chevin were damaged just hours before charges came in. The council will not replace the devices, instead saying people would need to pay by app via their phones.Local Liberal Democrat councillors have expressed concern that this includes a 20p fee and excludes people who wish to use cash.A statement posted on social media by Otley councillors Colin Campbell, Ryk Downes and Sandy Lay read: "Whilst we have always been clear that we didn't support the introduction of parking charges at Chevin car parks, we absolutely condemn the recent vandalism to the ticket machines and signage.

"This mindless damage has now left no working machines at Surprise View, East Chevin Quarry, Lower Shawfield, or Upper Shawfield car parks."The councillors expressed disappointment that the machines would not replaced, and urged Leeds City Council to rethink its decision.

"We understand the financial pressures but are very disappointed that genuine users are now inconvenienced further," the statement read.

A spokesperson for Leeds City Council said they understood some people would be unhappy but "vandalising the machines is unacceptable".Others who got through were shocked to find the price of standard tickets had more than doubled from £148 to £355 on Ticketmaster, due to "dynamic pricing" for the tour, which sees prices surge if demand is high.

The high prices many fans ended up paying pose a huge risk to the Gallagher brothers' reputation, as Oasis were seen as working class heroes in their 1990s heyday.Earlier this week, the European Commission announced it would be investigating dynamic pricing following the controversy.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) also received 450 complaints about Ticketmaster adverts for the Oasis gigs.A spokesman for the UK's regulator of advertising said the complainants argue the adverts made "misleading claims about availability and pricing".
