Oasis fans have been left in a state of panic as ticket sale websites crashed just an hour before the sale due to soaring demand for tickets.
It’s anticipated that 14 million users who missed out on pre-sale tickets are scrambling to secure their spot at the band’s reunion concerts during Saturday’s general sale.
Fans attempting to access Ticketmaster early were greeted with a message stating ‘website not found’, while SeeTickets alerted users with ‘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.’ Reports also suggest Ticketmaster’s mobile app was also not working for people.

On Friday evening, the band issued a warning after unofficial reselling websites listed tickets obtained from the early sale for thousands of pounds.
A post on the band’s X page 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, reports the Mirror .
Tickets sold in breach of the terms and conditions will be cancelled by the promoters. “Stay tuned to our Oasis reunion tour live blog for all the latest updates on their 2025 shows. Official tickets for the much-anticipated Oasis reunion concert are being sold through Ticketmaster, GigsAndTours, and See Tickets.
However, some opportunistic sellers have already relisted the coveted tickets on ticket exchange and reselling websites for thousands of pounds. On Friday evening, tickets for the Wembley Stadium gig were listed on Viagogo for a staggering £5,909. Meanwhile, some “Hospitality Club” tickets at the same London venue were being offered for an eye-watering £10,578 on StubHub.
The StubHub website assures all Oasis fans that their tickets “come with our FanProtect 100% guarantee for secure purchasing.
“Lisa Webb, a consumer law expert at Which?, has issued a warning to fans: “We’d strongly advise against buying any of the resale tickets currently popping up online at inflated prices.
“Fans are being warned to stay sharp as scammers might be lurking with dodgy tickets for the band’s mega 15 UK gigs. “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.”
On Tuesday (August 27), Noel and Liam Gallagher revealed plans for a massive world tour next year, featuring several homecoming shows at Heaton Park on July 11, 12, 19 and 20.
Tickets are set to go on sale at 9am today (August 31).
