Oasis Announce Sold Out Shows Across UK and Ireland

All of the UK and Ireland dates for Oasis’s reunion tour have sold out in less than a day, the band announced.

Since 9am on Saturday, when shows in Edinburgh, London, Cardiff, and Manchester went on general sale, fans have expressed frustration at being kicked off ticket-selling websites and encountering hiked prices for Noel and Liam Gallagher’s reunion tour.

By 7pm, the Manchester rockers posted on X stating, “Oasis Live ‘25 UK and Ireland tickets have now sold out.
Please be aware of counterfeit and void tickets appearing on the secondary market. Tickets can ONLY be resold, at face value, via @TicketmasterUK and @Twickets.”

Ticketmaster had already announced at 1.23pm that Irish shows at Dublin’s Croke Park had sold out.

Fans reported struggling to load Manchester-based promoter SJM Concerts’ website Gigs and Tours and also See Tickets, which both appeared to be offline for much of the day.

Some claimed they were “suspended” by Ticketmaster UK and Ireland after it accused them of being “bots.”

Staff from the site’s customer service office advised worried customers to ensure they were using only one tab, clear their cookies, and ensure no VPN software was active on their device.

Scott McLean, 28, who logged into his account on the ticket-selling website at 7.30am on Saturday ahead of Irish sales opening at 8am, claimed he was worse off after trying to follow this guidance.

Some tickets also more than doubled in price from around £148 to about £355 on Ticketmaster after fans waited for hours to secure their place at the Oasis Live 25 shows.

An explanation by the website about the “in-demand standing ticket” price states, “The event organiser has priced these tickets according to their market value. Tickets do not include VIP packages. Availability and pricing are subject to change.”

Ticketmaster informed the PA news agency it does not set ticket prices and shared a link where it states that costs can be “fixed or market-based.”

It is believed that ticket prices are set by promoters, not artists.

Oasis tickets have already been relisted on ticket exchange and reselling websites Viagogo and Stubhub for thousands of pounds.

Cris Miller, the global managing director of Viagogo, defended the website, saying, “Resale is legal in the UK, and fans are always protected by our guarantee that they will receive their tickets in time for the event or their money back.”

Fans have been urging the Gallagher brothers to reunite since they disbanded 15 years ago, following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009.

It has not been announced who will be performing with Liam and Noel as part of Oasis.

Noel, 57, quit the group on August 28, 2009, stating he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer,” and the brothers have made negative comments about each other for more than a decade.

While confirming the brothers’ acrimonious split was at an end on Tuesday by saying “the great wait is over” for the reunion dates, the band mentioned that Oasis Live 25 would be a world tour.

Shows outside Europe will be confirmed later.

StubHub and official ticket sellers and promoters such as SJM, MCD Productions, and See Tickets have been approached for comment.

A Government spokeswoman said in a statement to PA, “Everyone deserves a fair chance to see their favourite artists live, that is why vendors are required by law to be transparent about their ticket prices. We want to go further to put fans back at the heart of music and will bring in protections to stop people being ripped off by touts.”

Consumer rights and unfair trading regulation can also be enforced to tackle the issue.
