Oasis, one of the biggest bands reunite at last after Noel and Liam Gallagher patch up their differences (for now at least!) 

Iconic Britpop band Oasis officially announced their highly anticipated reunion tour last week, marking the band’s first live tour in over a decade. On Tuesday, Noel and Liam Gallagher declared on their socials, “The great wait is over.”

On Saturday morning, fans nationwide eagerly waited for Oasis ticket sales to open, hoping for a stroke of luck in securing their tickets. The ticket release sparked a frenzy of activity, causing site crashes, long virtual queues, and numerous other issues. Fans endured wait times of up to ten hours, only to be met with server errors, kicked off the sites, or falsely flagged as bots. The company advised through its customer service account on X to use only one tab, clear cookies, and avoid using VPN software.

Thousands of fans were subsequently left disappointed and frustrated with the band and the ticketing sites after facing difficulties in securing tickets for the 2025 reunion tour.

Some of the team here at Fly High Media also made attempts to secure Oasis tickets, but we also faced frustration. I tried to buy tickets for a Manchester show on Saturday morning, but Ticketmaster wouldn’t load at all. After a couple of hours, I switched from my phone to my laptop to see if that would make a difference. I finally managed to access the ticket queue, only to find more than 300,000 people were ahead of me. I gave up after seeing that.

Many of those who succeeded in getting to the front of the queue were then met with unexpectedly steep price increases due to Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing policy. This caused some remaining Oasis tickets to soar to over £350, compared to the initial price of £150 when sales began. 

Fans became increasingly frustrated when the band’s frontmen failed to comment on the issues during the day. They did however warn people not to resell tickets at higher prices on un-authorised websites, stating that those tickets would be “cancelled”. 

🚨Please note, Oasis Live ‘25 tickets can only be resold at face value via @TicketmasterUK and @Twickets!
Tickets appearing on other secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be cancelled by the promoters.

The official reseller site Twickets has advised fans not to “panic” after some were removed from online ticket queues, encouraging them that resale tickets would soon be available. 

🚨 If you haven’t secured @oasis tickets then don’t panic, and certainly don’t buy on unofficial sites such as Viagogo & StubHub as these tickets will be cancelled.

Twickets will have tickets available soon. Register to receive our newsletter and we’ll let you know. pic.twitter.com/R5yRzdhsqd

As excitement for the gigs grows, sales and streams of the band’s back catalogue have skyrocketed, with three of their albums recently landing back in the top five of the UK charts. 

Did you manage to get Oasis tickets or were you left frustrated like many other fans?
