Hey there, Oasis fans! Don't worry, there's still hope for you to snag some tickets to see your favorite band live. But you may need to take a trip across the pond to the US. Noel and Liam Gallagher have finally announced the cities they will be visiting on their world tour, after their UK shows sold out in a flash. Even the addition of extra dates at Wembley Stadium, without the controversial dynamic pricing, couldn't satisfy the millions of fans dying to see the Stand By Me hitmakers perform.
After teasing fans with the news of a world tour, the band has now confirmed the lucky cities that will get to experience the Britpop revival. From South Korea to Mexico to Australia and more, there's quite a diverse list of tour stops. However, it hasn't been revealed when exactly these shows will take place, except that it will be sometime after 2025. And there's also the question of whether or not these global shows will implement the controversial in-demand pricing, which has caused quite a stir in the past.
For those of you who missed out on tickets for the UK gigs, fear not. You now have the opportunity to travel to cities like Toronto, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, and more in Canada and the US, as well as Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. The Gallagher brothers are expected to make announcements about ticket sales, pricing, and specific venues very soon, as well as confirm their support artists. It's become increasingly common for fans to travel abroad for concerts, as the competition for tickets has become more intense in recent years. We've seen British Swifties flock to European shows, while American fans have caused a bit of a stir by coming over to the UK for shows, even though their country already has over 30 tour stops.
Speaking of tour stops, let's take a look at the cities that Oasis will be gracing with their presence:
- Toronto, Canada
- Chicago, US
- East Rutherford, New Jersey, US
- Boston, US
- Los Angeles, US
- Mexico City, Mexico
- Seoul, South Korea
- Tokyo, Japan
- Melbourne, Australia
- Sydney, Australia
- Sao Paulo, Brazil
- Santiago, Chile
- Buenos Aires, Argentina
If you're planning on booking a holiday to coincide with one of these shows, just make sure the hotel prices don't skyrocket before you make your reservations. And of course, there's always the risk of the show not going as planned. So keep your fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly, especially if you're traveling all the way to Canada or Japan for a show.
Now, let's address the elephant in the room - dynamic pricing. This controversial practice has caused quite a stir in the music industry, with fans feeling frustrated and ripped off by the inflated ticket prices. From Beyoncé to Harry Styles, it's been a barrier for many fans trying to see their favorite artists live. And for Oasis fans, the standing tickets went from around £150 to a whopping £350 during the UK general sale, leaving many feeling disappointed and priced out.
In fact, the Competition and Markets Authority launched an investigation into Ticketmaster, the ticketing company responsible for the sale of Oasis tickets. The CMA is looking into the use of dynamic pricing and whether it breaches consumer protection laws. Ticketmaster has placed the blame on the tour promoter Live Nation, but both companies are owned by the same parent company.
In response to the controversy, Oasis released a statement clarifying that they were not involved in the decision to use dynamic pricing and were unaware of it. They also mentioned their efforts to create a fair ticket sale strategy for fans, including the use of dynamic pricing to keep prices down and reduce ticket reselling. However, due to the overwhelming demand, it became difficult to achieve this goal and provide the best fan experience.
