Oasis and Ticketmaster to burn at the stake as they become huge Bonfire Night effigy

Edenbridge Bonfire Society has revealed their latest Guy Fawkes effigy, and it’s a pretty iconic take on the Oasis Ticketmaster scandal.

Set to be burnt on top of a Bonfire on November 5 is an 11-metre-tall Guy Fawkes of Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher depicted in a hilarious effigy.

The huge Guy Fawkes shows the brothers as puppets being manoeuvred by a man in a suit, with soaring ticket prices printed all over the suit.

The wads of cash falling out of the pocket had a clear message that paid homage to the Ticketmaster pricing scandal.

The scandal earned the brothers a lot of money but caused many fans to pay extortionate prices due to the introduction of dynamic pricing which meant prices soared because of huge demand.

It has since been reported that thousands of fans may now lose their tickets as overpriced tickets are recalled and set to be sold at a lower price.

The Guy Fawkes from the society based in Kent has become famous over the past few years because of their outlandish celebrity effigies, and this latest edition joins a long line of spectacular bonfire figures.

The Kent group typically mocks politicians such as Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Sadiq Khan, who have all been made into Guy Fawkes over the years.

Typically the group makes a Guy Fawkes that pays tribute to a viral moment from the year, usually a negative news story that people will enjoy seeing burnt up on the bonfire.

The society has been making Guy Fawkes for decades, with their website showing images of guys made in the likeness of James Hewitt in 1994, Anne Robinson in 2001, and Edwina Currie in 2002.

In 2020 and 2021, the effigies were put on hold because of lockdown restrictions, which is possibly why Guy Fawkes from the last few years has been so spectacular.

The Guy is set to be burnt this weekend in a fantastic display that begins with a procession around the town and ends in a fiery blaze.
