Oasis reunion tour tickets live: UK and Ireland concerts sold out as fans show frustration over error messages


Oasis announce reunion tour

Thousands of Oasis fans have been left empty handed after struggling to nab tickets to the group’s 2025 reunion tour.

Soon after tickets went on sale in Ireland, fans began reporting that sites including Ticketmaster had “crashed”, sharing screenshots that appeared to show error messages just as they were about to purchase a ticket.

The Britpop legends said they had all sold out by 7pm on Saturday night ten hours after tickets for the 17 show tour went on sale.

Oasis then issued a warning against reselling tickets at inflated prices on websites not linked to their promoter, saying they will be “cancelled”. Moments after the presale on Friday, some tickets were listed for thousands of pounds on secondary ticketing sites such as StubHub and Viagogo.

The band announced additional dates in Manchester, London and Edinburgh earlier this week, due to overwhelming demand.

MP accuses Ticketmaster of fleecing fans with dynamic pricing adding more than £200 for ‘in demand’ tickets

An MP has spoken out on Ticketmaster’s “insulting” dynamic pricing which has seen Oasis fans finally get to the front of the queue charged £355 for a ticket originally priced at £135.

David Baines, Labour MP for St Helens posted on X: “After rightly criticising those who got presale tickets and then immediately tried to resell them for huge profits, it’s shocking to hear that @TicketmasterUK are now using ‘dynamic pricing’ to fleece fans & rake in the cash.

“Especially insulting for those who have queued all day.”

Labour MP Zarah Sultana simply posted: “Nationalise Ticketmaster” after the website crashed 3 hours into her queue.

Ticketmaster currently tells those desperate fans of the Britpop icons patiently waiting in the queue: “Tickets for Oasis are still available, but inventory is now limited and not all ticket prices are available.”

While Ticketmaster, which is owned by Live Nation – an American entertainment company – usually gets the flak for increasing the prices, these pricing structures are usually only possible with the approval of the artists.

Taylor Swift reportedly didn’t take up the option of employing dynamic pricing for similar arena gigs in the UK.

Oasis fans have said trying to secure accessible tickets for Wembley an ‘impossible task’

Fans requesting accessible tickets were advised to call a phone number for the Wembley concerts – but most have been left disappointed and frustrated.

Frances Mobbs said trying to get accessible tickets for her son was an “impossible task”.

Mrs Mobbs, from Norfolk, wanted to buy four tickets for her son Nick Mobbs, 41, his carer and two family members, for the concert on 26 July.

She sent through supporting documents for the accessible tickets and tried to call repeatedly for two hours when the phone line opened.

“My son has been a fan from day one, like millions of other people, of course, we’re trying to get tickets,” she said.

“I know I’m one of thousands and thousands and thousands of people, but there’s one dedicated phone line which is constantly engaged or saying we are unable to complete your call.

“I’ve been calling for two hours, I keep repeating and repeating.

“It’s frustrating, totally and utterly frustrating.”
