Oasis tickets being resold for more than £7,000

Others are going on sale for around £5,000 each.

Music fans have labelled Ticketmaster a “total farce” after the site reportedly crashed for some while others were left stranded in huge queues.

At 9am this morning, tickets went on sale for the 14-date tour that the Gallagher brothers and co will play across the UK and Ireland in summer 2025.

When they announced the reunion tour, anticipation for the dates was at fever pitch, with some predicting demand for tickets would be greater than it was for Taylor Swift’s concerts this year.

So at 9am this morning, countless fans were ready and waiting to bag themselves a ticket for the concerts.

Many were left angry and disappointed after the Ticketmaster website struggled with demand for tickets.

Almost two hours after the general sale opened, many are still waiting in queues to get onto the website, with See Tickets and Gigs and Tours reporting similar issues. 

Meanwhile, resale tickets are being listed for as much as £7,025 on ticket reselling site Viagogo.

Two seated tickets for the gig at Wembley Stadium in London on 25 July have been put on the site for £7,025 each.

Others are going on sale for around £5,000 each.

The band themselves have warned tickets being resold at increased prices will be cancelled, saying they should only buy resale tickets at face value through Ticketmaster or Twickets.

Viagogo has defended having Oasis tickets on sale for inflated prices on its platform, saying it is a “legal” practice."

Cris Miller, Viagogo global managing director, said in a statement to the PA news agency:

"This is a dream event anticipated by millions worldwide," they said.

"Our number-one tip for fans using secondary marketplaces is to continue to check prices outside of the first few weeks of sale.

"Demand will be at its peak when tickets hit the on-sale but it’s not a normal reflection of what tickets can and will go for. Just this summer tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in the UK sold on our platform for as low as £80."

They added: "In the case of Oasis – a highly anticipated event – we saw the primary sites struggling to manage demand even before the on-sale, and site crashes.

"We know fans are frustrated with the process and we know there is a better way. We continue to support industry collaboration to ensure the entire ticketing market works for fans and the live entertainment industry.

"Resale is legal in the UK and fans are always protected by our guarantee that they will receive their tickets in time for the event or their money back."
