Oasis‘ 2025 reunion tour.Tickets for the 2025 stadium tour went on sale on August 31 and sold out at 7pm but not before some fans found they were priced out of tickets when they went to buy them, as the use of dynamic pricing meant the cost of tickets would go up or down without warning based on demand.This led to some fans who had been in the queue the entire day paying £355 for a ticket which was originally £135 when it came to confirm their purchase. Ticketmaster had previously clarified on their website that ticket pieces “may increase or decrease at any time, based on demand.

Oasis tickets.Per the BBC, several Fianna Fáil senators and TDs (Irish MPs) are pushing to introduce the legislation after the cost of tickets to Oasis’ Croke Park gig rose from €176 (£148) on pre-sale to over €400 (£337), because of an automatic surge increase due to demand.In the Republic of Ireland, the Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Recreational and Sporting Events) Act came into effect in 2021, and banned the reselling of tickets above face value.Fianna Fáil Senator Timmy Dooley, Niamh Smyth TD (MP) and Jim O’Callaghan TD will now introduce an amendment to that bill.Oasis Live ‘25 UK and Ireland tickets have now SOLD OUT.Please be aware of counterfeit and void tickets appearing on the secondary market.Tickets can ONLY be resold, at face value, via @TicketmasterUK and @Twickets. pic.twitter.com/gWW5xDDzL8— Oasis (@oasis) August 31, 2024O’Callaghan said the 2021 Act “protected fans” from missing out on tickets and from “seeing those same tickets for sale on a secondary site for far more than they can afford or would be happy to pay.“It now must be extended so we can protect fans from the experience of seeing ‘in demand’ tickets jumping significantly above the asking price that was initially advertised.”The surge in the cost of tickets came after assurances from the band that measures would be taken to prevent touts from re-selling tickets at inflated prices by partnering with resale platform Twickets.

Robbie Williams has had his say on the Oasis reunion, and there’s a cheeky dig at Noel Gallagher in there too.The singer had a famous feud with the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, in the 1990s. Noel referred to him as “the fat dancer from Take That”, while Robbie went on to challenge Liam to a £100,000 fight at the 2000 Brit Awards.They started out as friends, however, and were pictured partying with each other at Glastonbury in 1995 shortly Williams left Take That – something he later described as the “start of his new life”.For the most part, it looks as though they’ve buried the hatchet since then– and Williams has spoken highly of Liam in the years since.And now, Williams has said of the reunion tour, which will take place across the UK and Ireland next summer: “The soap opera alone will either be exciting and or ghoulish to watch.
