People using Ticketmaster sites in Ireland, Britain and Scotland were reporting significant issues trying to purchase tickets for Oasis Live '25 world tour just after they went on sale.
Others are encountering dynamic pricing on Ticketmaster sites because of high demand, seeing the sticker price climb to $466 plus fees from an original cost of $177.
Oasis shows in London, Edinburgh, Scotland, and Cardiff, Wales, have already sold out.
The band has allowed the dynamic pricing practice but is warning people against reselling tickets on unsanctioned sites.

"Please note, Oasis Live '25 tickets can only be resold at face value via Ticketmaster UK and Twickets," the band said on its official X account. "Tickets appearing on other secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be canceled by the promoters."
