In Australia if the price at the checkout is higher than the price tag you are entitled to the first item free and subsequent items at the tag price.

So this dynamic pricing bullshit is even more bullshit.

Got a source on that? That's not what the ACCC says.

My experience is they give it to you for ticket price and then immediately go and take away the incorrect ticket before someone else does the same. (Otherwise this would be false advertising and ACCC will fine them)

Yes, they have two options. Either honour the sticker price, or stop selling it at all until the price is fixed.
