Oasis, the iconic British rock band, has officially reunited after a 15-year hiatus, leading to an overwhelming demand for tickets to their comeback tour. However, the band has been quick to issue a stern warning against the resale of tickets at inflated prices on unauthorized platforms.
During a pre-sale event on Friday evening, a limited number of tickets were made available to fans. Within minutes, some of these tickets were listed on secondary markets for exorbitant prices—up to £6,000, which is around 40 times the face value of a standing ticket. Oasis responded by reminding fans that tickets resold outside of official channels like Ticketmaster and Twickets would be canceled, as these sales breach the terms and conditions.
The general ticket sale, scheduled for Saturday morning, is expected to see a massive rush as fans try to secure their spots for the highly anticipated reunion concerts. Consumer law experts and campaigners have echoed the band’s concerns, advising fans to avoid purchasing tickets from unauthorized resellers, as these could be scams or later invalidated.
The issue of ticket touting has once again sparked debate, with calls for government action to curb the practice. Oasis’s reunion tour, which includes 17 outdoor concerts across the UK and Ireland next July and August, has already added extra dates due to the unprecedented demand.
Fans who managed to secure tickets during the pre-sale have taken to social media to express their excitement, with many celebrating the chance to see their favorite band live once again. The band’s return marks a significant moment in music history, bringing together two of the most famous brothers in rock, Noel and Liam Gallagher, after years of public feuding.
