The highly anticipated reunion of Oasis, set to take place in 2025, has been the talk of the town. However, the promoters of the band's upcoming concerts have recently announced that they will be cancelling tickets that have "broken the terms and conditions." This news has left many fans disappointed and confused.
The promoters of the Oasis Live '25 tour have stated that they are currently examining ticket sales and will be passing on their findings to law enforcement. They have also warned fans against purchasing tickets from unauthorized websites, as they may be fraudulent. This is all part of their efforts to crack down on secondary ticketing companies that resell tickets for exorbitant prices. As a result, only 4% of tickets have ended up on resale sites, a stark comparison to other major tours that see up to 20% of tickets being resold.
Noel and Liam Gallagher's reunion in 2025 will be their first since their infamous backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in 2009. The brothers will be playing concerts in Manchester, Cardiff, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin, as well as embarking on a tour of the US, Canada, and Australia.
A spokesperson for the promoters has said, "Following our commitments made by the band in the lead-up to the Oasis Live '25 on sale, our ticket agents, Ticketmaster and See Tickets, will be cancelling tickets that have violated our terms and conditions in the coming weeks." They have also reassured fans that cancelled tickets will be made available again on Ticketmaster at face value. They have urged fans not to buy tickets from unauthorized websites, as these may be fraudulent and subject to cancellation.
For those who believe their tickets have been cancelled in error, the spokesperson advises referring to the email sent by the relevant agent. The reunion tour has sparked a ticket frenzy like no other, with fans being urged to only buy and sell tickets on official resellers Ticketmaster and Twickets. Tickets have been spotted on reselling platform Viagogo for thousands of pounds, causing outrage among fans.
During the initial ticket sale, some standard tickets more than doubled in price, and the situation was blamed on "unprecedented demand." This controversy has prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look into the use of dynamic pricing. While Ticketmaster has stated that they do not set concert prices, their website notes that the event organiser is responsible for pricing the tickets according to their market value.
But despite the ticket frenzy and controversy, the band has announced that Liverpool-formed Britpop group Cast will be the second opening act for all 19 dates on the UK and Ireland leg of the tour. Cast frontman John Power, who began his career in The La's, expressed his excitement for the reunion, saying, "I'm blown away at the reunion. Oasis is the voice of a generation, and their songs are the soundtrack to many people's dreams. They are the people's band." He also added, "I've known Noel and Liam for years, and it's been quite a ride. I've been a fan of their music, and it's inspired me as a songwriter." Power also expressed his anticipation for revisiting his family's Irish roots when the tour hits Dublin.
Former Verve singer Richard Ashcroft has already been announced as a supporting act for the tour, adding to the excitement and anticipation for the reunion. The band and promoters are looking forward to a successful and memorable tour, and they invite fans to join in on the celebration. As they say, "Let the opening chords shimmer and shine next July."
