Oasis will be cancelling thousands of tickets to their upcoming UK 2025 reunion tour that have been sold via resale websites.When Liam and Noel Gallagher initially announced their highly-anticipated return, they revealed efforts to prevent touts from re-selling tickets at inflated prices by partnering with resale platform Twickets and issuing a statement to say that tickets sold for profit on other sites would be cancelled.Tickets for the UK dates first went on sale in August, with 1.4 million up for grabs.

They promptly sold out after 10 million fans from 158 countries joined the queue.However, despite warnings from the band, four per cent of tickets – equating to roughly 50,000 – ended up on resale sites, per BBC News.Now, the band’s promoters, Live Nation and SJM, have revealed they will be cancelling all tickets sold via secondary ticketing sites.

All invalidated tickets will then be made available again through Ticketmaster, at face value.They’ll begin cancelling tickets soon, but say that any fans who believe they have had their tickets cancelled in error will be able to report it and have their case investigated.A company spokesperson said: “These terms and conditions were successfully put in place to take action against secondary ticketing companies reselling tickets for huge profit.
