The time has finally come: Oasistickets are up for grabs on general sale with gates opening at 9am BST today after last night’s pre-sale scramble, with the waiting room for the two shows in Dublin now officially open.
‘Let the bloodbath begin,’ declared ticket hopeful Kev Boland this morning as he tried to get Dublin tickets.
But fans have taken to social media to complain of the Ticketmaster website crashing with the demand.
@snowflower271 took to social media tagging the ticketing giant at 8.10 this morning and said: ’50min before Oasis general sale and your website is already crashing.’
‘Up at 8am and none of the Oasis ticket websites are loading,’ added Daniel Munarriz
With pre-sale tickets already being resold for a staggering £10,000, these tickets are the hottest in music right now and millions are expected to virtually queue up to be in with a shot today.
In a moment that’s reminiscent of the Glastonbury ticket battle, fans will be hoping their super speedy Wifi or 5G will get them the golden ticket.
Pre-sale tickets for the Manchester Britpop band’s 2025 UK and Ireland shows went live yesterday evening at 7pm on Ticketmaster, and minutes later tickets appeared on Viagogo for a huge sum.
On the official Ticketmaster website, tickets were less expensive than predicted with prices ranging from £74.25 to £506.25 for the pre-show party package.
While fans raged sitting in virtual queues of over 10,000 trying to get to the front and secure a ticket, the official Oasis account issued a warning.
It read: ‘We have noticed people attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market since the start of the pre-sale. Please note, tickets can ONLY be resold, at face value, via @Ticketmaster and @Twickets. Tickets sold in breach of the terms and conditions will be canceled by the promoters.’
Tickets are officially being sold via Ticketmaster, GigsAndTours, and See Tickets, however, the band’s reunion concert tickets have also been relisted on ticket exchange and reselling websites for thousands of pounds.
On Friday evening, Oasis tickets for Wembley Stadium were listed on Viagogo for up to £5,909 while some tickets at the London venue, listed under ‘Hospitality Club’ were on sale for £10,578 on StubHub.
The StubHub website says all Oasis tickets ‘come with our FanProtect 100% guarantee for secure purchasing.’
Lisa Webb, consumer law expert at Which?, said: ‘We’d strongly advise against buying any of the resale tickets currently popping up online at inflated prices.
‘Not only is there a chance that some of these listings could be scam attempts, but even legitimate tickets could be cancelled, rendering them invalid, if they are sold outside of the official resale platforms or at above face value.’
Fans have been in panic mode ever since the feuding brothers announced their reunion tour gigs in Manchester, London, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Dublin.
Ahead of the sale, Oasis revealed due to ‘unprecedented demand’ three further gigs have been added to the line-up.
The extra dates include a Heaton Park show on July 16, an extra Wembley gig on July 30 and another Edinburgh concert on August 12.
The tour will kick off next summer, and fans are now praying the famously at loggerheads brothers can remain civil until then – and throughout the much-anticipated tour.
Since their split in 2009, Noel and Liam Gallagher have been hurling insults at each other online and actively dismissing any reunion rumours.
So it’s good to have them back!
