Oasis fans face having their reunion tickets cancelled in clampdown on unofficial resale sites

THOUSANDS of Oasis fans face having their tickets cancelled in a clampdown on those bought from unofficial resale sites.

Promoters Live Nation and SJM said more than 50,000 tickets for Liam and Noel Gallagher’s UK dates broke the terms and conditions of sale.

They said they would begin cancelling them in the next few weeks before reselling them through the official agency, Ticketmaster, at face value.

Their statement claimed four per cent of tickets — far fewer than the 20 per cent for many other major tours — had appeared on unofficial resale sites at inflated prices.

Those offered on reselling platform Viagogo had ranged from £596 to £1,162 for Wembley dates.

A spokesperson said: “The examination of ticket sales is ongoing and the results will be passed to relevant law enforcement.”

“Following on from commitments made by the band in the run-up to the Oasis Live ‘25 on sale, the tour’s promoters have advised that ticket agents Ticketmaster and See Tickets will start the process of cancelling tickets that are believed to have broken the terms and conditions put in place for the tour in the coming weeks.

“These terms and conditions were successfully put in place to take action against secondary ticketing companies reselling tickets for huge profit, as a result only 4% of tickets have ended up on resale sites.

“By comparison, some major tours can see up to 20% of tickets appearing via the major unauthorised secondary platforms.

“Cancelled tickets will be made available again at face value in due course from the official agency Ticketmaster. More details on this will be shared soon.

“All parties involved with the tour continue to urge fans not to purchase tickets from unauthorised websites as some of these may be fraudulent and others subject to cancellation.

“If fans do want to sell Oasis tickets they can do so at face value through Ticketmaster or the band’s official resale partner Twickets.

“For fans who believe they have had tickets cancelled in error, refer to the email sent by the relevant agent when informed.”
