Oasis Reunion Tour Cracks Down on Dodgy Tickets
Promoters behind the massive Oasis Live ’25 reunion are cracking down hard on ticket touts. They’ve warned that tickets breaching the tour’s strict terms and conditions will be cancelled. Any dodgy sales could even be handed over to the cops.
50,000 Tickets at Risk as Promoters Take Action
An estimated 50,000 tickets might be scrapped, according to the BBC. The tour marks Oasis’s first gigs since their bitter split in 2009, hitting major UK and Irish cities like Manchester, Cardiff, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin, plus stops in the US, Canada, and Australia.
Only Official Sellers Allowed – Say No to Scalpers
A spokesperson said: “Ticketmaster and See Tickets will start cancelling tickets that break the tour’s terms.” These rules are designed to stop inflated resale. So far, only 4% of tickets ended up on secondhand sites, way lower than the rough 20% seen on other tours.
Fans are urged to only buy and resell tickets via official resale partners like Ticketmaster or Twickets, where prices are capped at face value. Tickets on rogue sites like Viagogo were listed for eye-watering prices, some reaching £2,600 for Wembley shows.
Fans Fuming Over Price Hikes and Resale Chaos
The ticket release came with a storm of backlash. Dynamic pricing saw some standard tickets soar from £148 to £355, sparking government and UK Competition and Markets Authority probes into possible price-gouging. Ticketmaster insists pricing is set by event organisers, not them.
If fans think their tickets were wrongly cancelled, they should check their emails from the sales agents and follow the given steps. More info on reissuing cancelled tickets through Ticketmaster will be revealed soon.
