Oasis have broken their silence after tickets for their major reunion tour sold out.
On Saturday (August 31), fans swarmed to ticket providers to get their hands on a chance to see the Gallagher brothers reunite on stage for the first time since the split in 2009. The pre-sale tickets for the 17-date tour went on sale on Friday (August 30).
It is understood an expected 14million users fought it out to get tickets to the band’s upcoming gigs which will tour up and down the country next summer. The Britpop group will visit London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Cardiff as well a further two shows in Dublin.

Despite the tickets being in such high demand, die-hard supporters were still battling it out to get tickets up until 5pm – hours after they went on sale. After learning of their immediate success, the group took to their official X account – formerly known as Twitter – to warn disappointed fans against scammers.

They wrote: “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.” Fans immediately flooded to the comments section following the drama surrounding their ticket prices.
Initially, standing tickets were priced at approximately £150. However, the surge of demand by fans caused Ticketmaster to hike up the price of the tickets to a staggering £356.

One user fumed: “Face value unless it’s Ticketmaster? Absolute farce of a system.” Another agreed: “Again, Ticketmaster are selling £200 + ABOVE FACE VALUE.
“‘Dynamic pricing’ needs to be condemned from the top, otherwise, statements talking about the secondary market is just lip service. Not to misunderstand, Viagogo et al are absolute parasites too,” they added.
Another penned: “Sorry but the whole ticket sale was an utter fiasco. Please think about your involvement with #Ticketmaster in future. They’re ripping people off left, right and centre. New dates please, and ideally with a different & better ticket provider. Cheers.”

It comes after the Supernova rockers issued a warning to fans on Friday (August 30) after unofficial reselling websites started listing tickets obtained from the early sale for thousands of pounds. Posting to their X account, they wrote: “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 cancelled by the promoters.”
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. It’s fair to say fans had a difficult time getting their hands on the highly sought tickets after they went on sale at 9am on Saturday.

So many fans swarmed to TicketMaster that they crashed the website. Fans were met with a message that read “website not found” while SeeTickets warned users: “Our website is very busy! We have lots of people trying for tickets and you are being held on this page till a space becomes available.”
Gigs and Tours also gave fans an error message, with a banner reading: “Service unavailable” an hour before the tickets went on sale.” Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox? Sign up for our free Daily Star Showbiz newsletter.
