OASIS aren't the only band coming in for criticism over highly-priced concert tickets which are almost impossible to get hold of.
US rockers Limp Bizkit are due to play four dates in the UK next year.

However, several fans have said they were unable to purchase the £90 a head tickets, which sold out in under a minute.
One X user wrote: "Tried every (sic) to get Limp Bizkit tickets and couldn't even get to the basket stage. Wtf."
Another suggested they'll be making alternative arrangements after seeing the ticket prices.
They added: "Hahaha I also don’t have Limp Bizkit tickets because £90 is criminal! I’ll just watch the Wrestlemania 17 My Way package on a loop that night instead."
A third asked: "How, in the year 2024, are Limp Bizkit charging £90 per ticket for a concert? BEFORE booking fees."
While a fourth noted that while they appreciate ticket prices are high, it still won't stop him trying.
They commented: "If you think for a 1 second that I’m going to spend £90 on a Limp Bizkit ticket for next year. Then you’re absolutely right, I am."
Limp Bizkit's 2025 Loserville UK tour kicks off in Glasgow on March 8, before heading to Birmingham, Manchester, and finishing at Wembley Stadium in London on March 16.
Between the Glasgow and Birmingham dates the band will also play a concert in Dublin, Ireland, on March 11.
Earlier this year British concert-goers at Download Festival in Derby were shocked at the difference in the appearance of Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.

In June, the now 54-year-old Durst took to the stage sporting a big bushy grey beard - a far cry from the small brown beard he became synonymous with during the band's nineties heyday.
Oasis fans were equally livid earlier this year despite initial excitement at the warring Gallagher brothers finally putting their differences to one side to reunite for a tour.
The brothers' reunion followed their acrimonious split 14 years ago.
Would-be concert goers were enraged to discover they were being charged much higher prices for gigs - more than doubling in cost.
'It’s a huge win for Oasis fans who were left empty-handed during the initial frenzy'

For Oasis fans who missed out on tickets for their comeback tour, there’s finally some good news! The band are adding two more gigs to their schedule.
When Oasis announced their upcoming shows, the excitement was off the charts.
The chance to see Noel and Liam Gallagher back together on stage had fans buzzing.
But when tickets went on sale, they sold out in a flash, leaving many frustrated and without a seat.
For so many, seeing Oasis live isn’t just about attending a concert - it’s about reliving their youth and being present for a piece of musical history.
So, the latest update is a huge win for those who were left empty-handed during the initial frenzy.
It’s a chance for fans to finally enjoy the live experience they’ve been eagerly waiting for.
Not only is it a nod to the dedication of their supporters, it's a way to make sure as many people as possible can be part of the reunion - while, of course, raking in even more cash.
It also highlights how the band remains ever-relevant and beloved, even years after their 90s heyday.
It’s a reminder that, despite all the time that’s passed, Oasis’s music still resonates with fans old and young.
This was due to a system called dynamic pricing being used - which raised the cost of tickets depending on demand.
However, the resulting backlash has been so severe that a potential new law has been proposed.
The Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill has been put forward to the House of Commons.
It would see concert-goers have guaranteed knowledge of maximum ticket prices before joining an online queue.
