Oasis fans are scrambling to nab tickets to the group’s 2025 reunion tour.

The British rock band announced their long-awaited reunion on Tuesday (27 August), with brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher set to join one another onstage for the first time since their split in 2009.

While tickets will go on general sale on Saturday 31 August, the pre-sale offers fans an extra opportunity to get their hands on those coveted stadium tickets for London, Edinburgh, Manchester and Dublin. Find all the information here.

Oasis announced in a fresh statement: “All Ticket Ballot codes have now been sent out to fans. Please do NOT buy a code or transfer them to someone else. Codes ONLY work with the registered email address. If you didn’t get a code to access the pre-sale, you can join the general sale tomorrow morning.”

Fans who received ballot codes for the pre-sale were able to try and purchase tickets between 7pm until 10pm on Friday.

Oasis announced additional dates in Manchester, London and Edinburgh earlier this week, due to overwhelming demand.

Not all women who remember the 90s look back as fondly as the beered-up who blokes defined it, says Ashley Davies.

“I’m not blaming Oasis directly (nor am I critiquing their music here), but, like a few other lad bands, they did seem to attract a heck of a lot of blokes who didn’t respect women.”

Oasis have issued a warning to fans to avoid unauthorized resale sites.

“We have noticed people attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market since the start of the pre-sale,” the band said on social media.

“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 canceled by the promoters.”

Within minutes of presale opening, tickets were being listed on resale sites at prices up to £6,000, BBC News reported.

The face value of the tickets ranges between £74.25 to £506.25 for the pre-show “party package.”

Will resold tickets be available on Ticketmaster?

Friday 30 August 2024 20:02

Tom Murray

According to the Ticketmaster website:

Ticketholders can resell their tickets from Monday 2nd September through Ticketmaster or Twickets only. The tour has put this policy in place to cap ticket resale prices to combat price inflation and prevent ticket touting and bots. Selling tickets on unauthorised resale platforms breaches the promoter’s terms and conditions and may result in those tickets being cancelled. Therefore, they strongly recommend buying and selling tickets only through Ticketmaster or Twickets.

Fans report tickets already being resold for more than £1,000

Friday 30 August 2024 19:19

Tom Murray

“This is insane and should be illegal,” one fan in the queue has tweeted. “People are already reselling tickets ?? Surely there’s a better way to stop touts. Insanity when it’s not even gone on general sale yet.”

They included a screenshot that shows a single ticket for the reunion show being resold on Viagogo for £637.

Another shared a screenshot of tickets being resold on StubHub for more than £1,000.

And... It’s live!

Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais has hit out at a section of Oasis fans for “ageism” and “misogyny”, as a desperate scramble for tickets has led to some rancour among the band’s fanbase.

On Tuesday (27 August), the Mancunian group announced they would be reuniting, 15 years after an explosive split between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.

Following the reconciliation, some on social media complained about young women “jumping on the bandwagon” to buy tickets for the concerts, leading to older fans missing out.

Anais, 24, wrote in a comment on TikTok, “One thing I won’t stand for is the ageism and the misogyny around people getting tickets.

“Sorry if a 19-year-old girl in a pink cowboy hat wants to be there, I will have my friendship bracelets ready.”

Other fans weren’t so fortunate and shared their upset while warning others not to get “cocky” after getting through the ballot.

“No email for me, but the last few pre-sales I’ve had including for [Liam Gallagher] have been a total disaster, so don’t get cocky yet folks,” one wrote.

With Oasis tour tickets set to go on sale, Noel Gallagher has addressed his fall-out with brother Liam in his “first interview” since their reunion was announced.

Earlier this week, the band revealed they would play 14 shows in the UK and Ireland in 2025.

After “unprecedented demand”, three additional shows were added to their schedule. They also ruled themselves out of an appearance at Glastonbury next summer following intense fan speculation.

On Thursday (29 August), with Oasis fever in overdrive, one fan couldn’t believe their luck when they ran into Noel during a shopping trip in London.

Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais responds to ‘ageism and misogyny’ from Oasis fans

Friday 30 August 2024 12:08

Roisin O'Connor

Noel Gallagher's daughter has called out the “ageism and the misogyny” from long-time Oasis fans, whom she says feel entitled to tickets more than young women who might have discovered the band’s music more recently.

Anais Gallagher’s dad Noel has buried the hatchet with her uncle, Liam, to head out on the band’s first live tour in 16 years.

Posting to TikTok, Anais responded to fans apparently complaining about people trying to get involved in the reunion hype.

“One thing I won’t stand for is the ageism and the misogyny around people getting tickets,” she said in the comments section of a video shared by user Josie, who claimed she’d seen people complaining about how “everyone now suddenly loves Oasis”.

“Sorry if a 19-year-old girl in a pink cowboy hat wants to be there, I will have my friendship bracelets ready,” she added.

In a follow-up, Josie said she meant her video to be a “fun little laugh”.

In a follow-up, she said her video was meant to be “a fun little laugh, and people are getting very, very heated in my comments section”.

“It was just a point in that don’t try and gatekeep Oasis because you can’t gatekeep probably the most famous band to come out of the UK, if we’re disregarding The Beatles and stuff like that, but definitely the most famous Britpop band,” she said. “You can’t gatekeep them.”

Roisin O'Connor

Music store HMV has reported a massive spike in sales for the full Oasis catalogue, following the band’s reunion news.

Sales rose by 526 per cent from last week, the company’s representatives said, including a 443 per cent increase in sales of the band’s debut album, Definitely Maybe, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this week.

Meanwhile, sales of their second album, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? and their live album Knebworth experienced similar rises of 684 per cent and 209 per cent, respectively.

HMV has also seen pre-orders of the band’s 30th anniversary edition of Definitely Maybe, released today, double.

Phil Halliday, Managing Director, hmv and Fopp, said: Oasis are a truly iconic band who have made such a positive impact on British music. Sales figures from the past week, both in-store and online, pay testament to their popularity across the nation.

It’s great to see so many people revisiting their vinyl catalogue, from classic releases like Definitely Maybe all the way through the Knebworth LP. I’m sure I won’t be the only one trying to get my hands on tickets on Saturday!”
