Oasis warn that gig tickets resold at inflated prices will be cancelled

Oasis have issued a warning to people against reselling tickets for their reunion tour – or buying those resold tickets – on the secondary market at vastly inflated prices.

The band said tickets “sold in breach of the terms and conditions will be cancelled by the promoters”.

A limited number of people were able to secure the coveted tickets through a presale ballot on Friday evening.

But, shortly after going on sale, floor standing tickets were available from about £807 to £3,615 on the StubHub website, while seats in some lower level sections were on offer at £6,347.

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

Officially issued tickets range in price from £73 to £151, with the most expensive official package for the Wembley concerts retailing at £506.25.

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.”

Lisa Webb, a consumer law expert at Which?, said: “Oasis fans are understandably eager to snap up tickets to the reunion tour, but we’d strongly advise against buying any of the resale tickets currently popping up online at inflated prices.

“Not only is there a chance that some of these listings could be scam attempts, but even legitimate tickets could be cancelled, rendering them invalid, if they are sold outside of the official resale platforms or at above face value.”

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 (£73) without booking fees.

StubHub and Viagogo were contacted for comment.
