A die-hard Oasis fan has shared her experience of seeing them gig at Knebworth – and raised concerns about getting tickets this time around.
Victoria Watson, a 44-year-old publicist from County Durham has recalled her visit to the famous Knebworth gig of 1996.
She saw the Manchester band, led by the Gallagher brothers, twice before that too, once in 1994 and again the following year in 1995.

“I’ve seen Oasis three times. First at the Definitely Maybe Tour at Middlesbrough Town Hall in 1994, followed by the 1995 Earls Court gig in London and, finally, the 1996 Knebworth show,” she said.

“I can’t remember the exact price of tickets for each show, but it wasn’t much in those days. The Knebworth show was only about £22, so the previous shows would have been even less! I’ll never forget the amazing atmosphere at these gigs though; it was electric!
“A favourite memory of mine from the Earls Court gig was calling my friend from a pay phone within the venue so she could listen to Wonderwall live!
She told Omio she “didn’t have a mobile then and looking at how many people literally Instagram their way through live music now it feels even more special that we couldn’t do that then.”

With tickets for the eagerly anticipated gig going on sale on Friday (August 30), she reflected on how much easier it was back in the day to get hold of them. “It wasn’t difficult back in the 90s to get tickets because Oasis were still relatively unknown. This time it will be different. They will probably crash the internet when the tickets go on sale,” she said. “I think a lot of people will buy and then resell the tickets because the value and demand will be so high.
“People will need to be clever and work with their friends to secure the tickets when they go on sale to ensure they get hold of one!”

She said she wasn’t too worried about the politics between the brothers though, telling the Daily Star: “I am hoping despite their big fall out that the on-stage chemistry will still be there but I have a feeling it will be just like the old days and maybe even better!”
