Oasis reunion live: Tickets officially sold out - as fans complain about surge in prices

Tickets have now sold out for the Oasis reunion tour that will see Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite fifteen years after their band split. The band will play 17 shows across London, Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin as part of the Oasis Live 25 world tour.

Saturday 31 August 2024 22:43, UK

• Oasis tickets sold out
• But Ticketmaster tells people to check back later
• Ticketmaster under fire for dynamic pricing which saw tickets go up from £150 to £350 for some who had queued for hours
• Fans share anguish over wait for tickets - as sites crash
• Oasis warns fans against buying resale tickets at inflated prices

We're bringing our coverage to a close.

Scroll back to see our updates throughout the day as tickets for the Oasis 2025 reunion tour went on sale, and sold out hours later.

If you wanted an indicator of just how much ticket prices have increased since Oasis last toured the UK, then look no further. 

Tickets from three Oasis gigs - one just months before Noel quit the band - show how ticket prices have skyrocketed, with a floor standing ticket at Wembley in July 2009 priced at £38.10.

The same ticket for the 2025 reunion tour started at £151.25.

If that's not painful enough, a ticket for the second of two nights that Oasis performed at Knebworth Park in August 1996 - gigs which attracted 125,000 people each night - cost £22.50.

While a concert in April 1996 at Manchester City football club was even cheaper at £17.50. 

The Ticketmaster website currently says there are no Oasis tickets available, but encourages fans to "check back later as more may be released". 

It is unknown if the cryptic message refers to tickets becoming available through resale, or if another batch of tickets is yet to go on sale.

Meanwhile, the websites for Gigs and Tours and See Tickets are still displaying a holding page warning that the website is "very busy" and visitors will be redirected automatically when a space becomes available.

Following on from our last post, Oasis fans have begun reacting to the fact tickets can only be resold at face value.

Taking aim at Ticketmaster's 'dynamic pricing' - which can increase the price of tickets based on demand - one fan questioned whether the value for a floor standing ticket was £150 or £350.

Another fan wrote: "Face value unless it's on Ticketmaster? Time to look back in anger."

While a third added: "Face value is whatever the ticket was bought for. If the ticket was bought for £150, it's £150. If it was bought for £350, it's £350."

Fans have complained about the hike in ticket price throughout the afternoon, after some ticket prices more than doubled - pushed up by huge demand.

The demand-based system was implemented by Ticketmaster in 2022 which it said was intended to stop touts and give more money to the artists themselves.

The company said earlier today that it does not set prices, and shared a link to its website where it says costs can be "fixed or market-based".

Tickets for the Oasis Live '25 Tour are officially sold out, according to the band.

A post on the Oasis X account issued a third warning about counterfeit and void tickets appearing on unapproved resale websites.

It said tickets can only be resold on Ticketmaster and resale website Twickets and for face value.

It's difficult to portray how big Oasis were if you didn't live through it, with no British guitar band matching their status since. 

Here are five reasons that show their appeal then and now...

According to the NME, Oasis have sold more than 75 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. They had eight UK number-one singles and eight UK number-one albums. Their biggest album - (What's The Story) Morning Glory? - sold 22 million copies and is the fifth-biggest-selling album in British chart history, behind greatest hit compliations from Queen and Abba, plus Adele's 21 and The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. 

Newsworthiness

The brothers' fractious relationship made them big news in the mid-90s. They were arguably second only to Princess Diana for the frequency with which they appeared on the front of the tabloids. Their rivalry with Blur, which peaked when the bands released singles Country House and Roll With It on the same day, making television news bulletins on the BBC and here at Sky News.

It is said that 4% of the UK population applied for tickets to the band's two shows at Knebworth in 1996. The lucky 250,000 saw concerts that are still talked about today - but Oasis could have sold out another 18 times.

Downing Street

A sign of the Gallaghers' influence came with an invitation to Downing Street in 1997 by  then new prime minister Tony Blair, who was riding on a wave of so-called Cool Britannia.

Wonderwall was the first 90s song to reach one billion streams on Spotify, while Radio 2 last year had Morning Glory and Definitely Maybe as the top two most-streamed albums from the 1990s. The popularity of hits such as Don't Look Back In Anger has endured for several generations, becoming an anthem in the wake of the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017.

"I think it’s a calmer Liam Gallagher now," Dominic Mohan, former editor of The Sun, has told Sky News while discussing how he thinks the upcoming gigs will go.

He said the band appeared to have matured and said Liam "describes himself as Zen-like," adding: "I think he's very professional and they'll make it work."

Reminiscing about how the band used to act in their heyday, he said: "If you think back to the 90s, you never really knew which Liam you were going to get.

"I remember going to Tokyo to see the band and bumping into Liam in a hotel bar, and he talked to me for two hours about the birth of his child, and it was a very poignant interview, but at the end of it, he threw a pint of Guinness at me.

"So it's that sort of dichotomy really, of him back then."

He added: "He was only in his early 20s when Oasis exploded. So for the last 30 years, he hasn't really had to grow up.

"But I think over the past few years he's had a little reflecting and this is the moment he has craved, getting back on stage with Oasis."

Mr Mohan said he was still in the queue for tickets, adding: "I would hope to be there whether or not it can live up to the glory days of Knebworth… but it’ll be a great night out."

While Oasis fans are seeing prices above £350 for tickets, it's far from the first time fans have felt the pinch when trying to see their favourite artists.

Last year, Bruce Springsteen fans paid upwards of £120 for "rear pitch" standing tickets for his tour, while some expressed disappointment recently over the £145 price tag of standing tickets for Billie Eilish's 2025 UK leg.

And while you could have nabbed Beyonce or Taylor Swift tickets in the UK for £50 (before fees) if you took a "nosebleed" seat, these had limited availability and quickly sold out. 

General admission standing tickets for Swift's Eras tour started at £110.40 and those at the front had to shell out £172.25. It didn't stop there - by the time many fans got to the front of the online ticket queue, the only tickets left cost upwards of £300.

So what's behind rising ticket costs? The  Money blog   investigates some of the reasons...

By Jimmy Rice, lives news editor

Oasis reuniting is all very well - but which Oasis might we see on stage?

The band went through numerous incarnations after forming in 1991 with Liam, rhythm guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, bassist Paul McGuigan and drummer Tony McCarroll - later being joined by Noel.

So who are the definites and the maybes - and who won't be seeing - in a reformed Oasis?

The only remaining founding member, Liam's snarling vocals brought his brother's songs viscerally to life - and his swagger and unpredictability (quitting a US tour hours before the plane was due to take off, deciding he didn't fancy taking part in a coveted MTV Unplugged session, and getting arrested along with the rhythm section on a ferry to Amsterdam - where the band in their early years had been due to perform a crucial gig to industry bosses) made the band so compelling before it all got a bit tired as the 1990s wore on.

Songwriter Noel is the only other ever-present, if you discount walking out of a few tours here and there, including for three months in 2000 when he was replaced by Mother Earth's Matt Deighton.

Taking over rhythm guitar duties following the departure of Bonehead in 1999, the musician has managed to remain close to both Gallaghers, performing in Liam's Beady Eye post-Oasis and currently a part of Noel's High Flying Birds.

The story goes that original member Bonehead was struggling to abide by Noel's no-alcohol rule as the band tried to recover from the critical mess that was 1997's Be Here Now. When Noel suggested he could be fired, Bonehead was said to have quit. In recent years he has performed with Liam, with the presumption being that he and Noel were not talking  - but, replying to a fan on Twitter last year, the 59-year-old revealed the pair had recently spoken and were on good terms.

Now, the original Oasis bandmember is set to rejoin Noel and Liam Gallagher for their reunion tour - that's according to The Sun. 

Maybe 

Chris Sharrock

The only other Oasis member to join the brothers in their respective solo projects is Chris Sharrock, who was in Oasis from 2008-09. He seems the most likely presence on drums.

This one seems unlikely - but not impossible. Bassist Bell performed with Liam's Beady Eye but was said to have a frosty relationship with Noel. However, in 2023 Bell's band Ride supported High Flying Birds.

Paul 'Guigsy' McGuigan 

The founding bassist has rarely been seen in public since he quit the band weeks after Bonehead. According to Noel, Guigsy announced his departure by sending the band a fax. He declined to take part in the Supersonic film in 2016 and in 2019 Liam said: "Not seen him since he left the band and he only lives up the road."

Tony McCarroll

The original drummer was fired in 1995, before the band went from being the next big thing to the biggest band on the planet. There were accusations of bullying but the upgrade in drumming from debut album Definitely Maybe to (What's The Story) Morning Glory? is unquestionable. McCarroll tried to sue Oasis for £18m but settled for £550,000 out of court in March 1999, giving up future royalties.

Oasis's longest-serving drummer, having been recommended to the band by Paul Weller upon McCarroll's sacking in 1995. White was thrown in at the deep end, his debut performance coming on the BBC's iconic Top Of The Pops for the band's first number one, Some Might Say. He was fired in 2004, with the reasons remaining unclear. White has stayed out of the public eye ever since.

Zak Starkey

White's replacement, son of Beatles drummer Ringo, performed with the band from 2004 until 2008. It was reported he fell out with Noel, with his ongoing commitments with The Who a suggested point of tension.

The new shows are scheduled for July 16 at Heaton Park in Manchester, July 30 at Wembley Stadium, and August 12 in Edinburgh.

With these additions, the band will now perform five concerts in both Wembley and Manchester, as well as three shows in Scotland.

Tickets for the newly added dates will also go on sale Saturday morning, just like the original shows.

In an exciting statement shared to social media on Thursday, the Britpop band wrote: “Due to unprecedented demand, three new UK dates will be added to Oasis Live ‘25 Heaton Park - July 16th Wembley - July 30th Edinburgh - August 12th

“Tickets on go on sale this Saturday, 31st August at 9am BST.”

The announcement comes after the band denied they will be performing at  Glastonbury "or any other festivals" next year.

Responding to speculation on X (formerly Twitter), Oasis addressed the buzz sparked by their upcoming reunion tour .

In a statement shared on social media on Wednesday, the band clarified: “Despite media speculation, Oasis will not be playing Glastonbury 2025 or any other festivals next year.

“The only way to see the band live will be on their Oasis Live ’25 World Tour.”

Earlier this week, it was reported that former Oasis guitarist Bonehead will join  Liam  and  Noel Gallagher  on stage next summer  as the band reunite 15 years after they split up .

Insiders told The Sun that extra concerts will be announced once this run sells out.

A source said: “These shows will sell out in less than three minutes. Extra dates will be added for sure.”

On Tuesday, Oasis posted a 91 second video announcing their reunion on social media including clips from some of the band’s biggest gigs and quotes from the Gallagher brothers.

In response, a pre-sale Ballot registration opened for tickets ahead of Saturday’s general sale, although it closed on Wednesday evening.

The UK and Ireland tour will start at  Cardiff’s Principality Stadium  and visit  Manchester’s Heaton Park , Wembley Stadium,  Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium  and  Dublin’s Croke Park  throughout July and August next year.
