Oasis to Cancel Resold Tickets at Inflated Prices

August 30, 2024

Oasis has warned fans not to buy and resale reunion tour tickets on the secondary market for exorbitant amounts. 

Tickets "sold in breach of the terms and conditions will be cancelled by the promoters," the band declared. Tickets were available for purchase on Friday night through a presale ballot that only a small number of people were able to complete. 

However, soon after sales began, floor standing tickets ranged in price from approximately £807 to £3,615 on the StubHub website, while seats in certain lower level sections were offered for £6,347.

The resale website Viagogo also advertised tickets for more than £2,000.

Oasis wrote on X: “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. Tickets sold in breach of the terms and conditions will be cancelled by the promoters.”

Tickets for the band’s 15 UK shows in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Cardiff will go on sale at 9am on Saturday, while the sale for their two Dublin gigs starts at 8am.

Prices to watch a gig at London’s Wembley Stadium begin at £74.25, while the most expensive ticket is £506.25, which includes a pre-show party, exhibition and seated package.

The cheapest seats are at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium shows, which will set people back £73, and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium at £74, according to Manchester-based promoter SJM Concerts, which runs the website Gigs And Tours.

Standing tickets at Wembley will cost fans £151.25, and the same tickets in Cardiff and Edinburgh are slightly cheaper at £150 and £151.

In the band’s home city of Manchester, tickets start from £148.50, with only standing available alongside a number of hospitality and luxury packages.

Before the announcement for the UK shows, Irish promoter MCD said on its website that the price of both of the two Croke Park gigs in Dublin would start at €86.50 (£72.75) without booking fees.
