Olivia Bridge, a devoted fan of Oasis, has made a unique offer to help fellow fans who are in a frenzy over the band's upcoming reunion and the limited availability of tickets. She has generously opened up her garden as a camping spot for anyone who needs a place to stay for the concert, as long as they can secure a ticket for her as well. Her idea was to increase her chances of attending the highly anticipated tour next year, and she is happy to pay for her own ticket.
But little did she know, her kind gesture would soon go viral, with thousands of fans flooding her direct messages in hopes of securing a spot on her lawn. "I obviously didn't think it through, did I?" she chuckled in an interview with The Agency, after her post received 1.5k retweets and 5.3 million views. The Gallagher brothers, who have been feuding for almost two decades, are set to reunite for a series of shows in their hometown of Manchester's Heaton Park next summer.
Liv, as she is fondly known, was overwhelmed by the response from fans and is determined to help as many as she can. She posted on her Twitter account, "I live right by Heaton Park. If you're an Oasis fan and don't want to spend hundreds of pounds on accommodation, you can camp in my garden for free. The only condition is that you get a ticket for me too. I'll pay for it, and I'll even provide drinks, breakfast, and parking."
In a follow-up post, Liv shared photos of her garden and her Oasis tattoo, proving her dedication to the band. "I didn't expect to receive so many responses in the first place. It was just a passing tweet, an idea I put out into the universe to see what happens," she explained. Her post was a total whim, and she had not even consulted her housemate about having strangers camp in their garden. Luckily, her friend found it amusing, although she was initially worried about the post going viral.
Tickets for the upcoming Oasis tour, which will take place from July 4th to August 17th, will go on sale on August 31st at 9 am and 8 am on Ticketmaster and Ticketmaster.ie. Liv's mum called her a "nutcase" while her dad was hopeful that Liam would see her post, which would make her whole life. As a journalist born in the same year as the band's debut album, Definitely Maybe, Liv is a die-hard fan of Oasis and even attended Liam's 30th-anniversary tour.
"I've never been able to forgive my dad for not getting me a ticket in 2009 when I was in school. But you know, it's Oasis. It's the sound of my generation. We all grew up with it, and we never thought the band would get back together. It's like a dream come true for millions of Oasis fans," she shared. She assures everyone that her garden is bigger than it looks, and she believes she can fit a few two-person tents.
Liv is not asking for money from anyone staying in her garden, nor is she asking for a free ticket. She simply wants to help fellow fans who are struggling with the high prices of hotels during the concert. "They've completely raised the prices, and it's not fair. Some hotels that are usually £35 per night are now charging up to £500 when Oasis is playing. People are profiting from Oasis fans, and it's not right. We're already spending hundreds of pounds on tickets; why not go together?" she vented.
The overwhelming response to her post has inspired other Manchester-based fans to offer their gardens as camping spots, creating a sense of community that the music scene has been lacking. Liv and her friend even have matching Oasis tattoos, and she is keeping her fingers crossed that she will secure tickets for the concert. "Music brings people together, and the nostalgia and love for that time mean everything. I just hope the brothers will put aside their differences and give us the music and those tunes that mean so much to us," she concluded.
