The promoters of Oasis’s reunion concerts have announced they will begin cancelling tickets which have “broken the terms and conditions” in the coming weeks.
The Oasis Live ’25 promoters said the “examination of ticket sales is ongoing” and the results will be “passed to relevant law enforcement”.
They said cancelled tickets will be made available again on Ticketmaster, and warned fans not to purchase tickets from “unauthorised websites” as they may be “fraudulent”.
It comes after the band announced they would return in 2025 for the first time since breaking up following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France, to play concerts in Manchester, Cardiff, London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
A spokesperson for the promoters said: “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.
“The examination of ticket sales is ongoing and the results will be passed to relevant law enforcement once complete where appropriate.
“Cancelled tickets will be made available again at face value in due course from the official agency Ticketmaster.
“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.”
Tickets were spotted on reselling platform Viagogo for thousands of pounds, with standing passes ranging from £596 to £1,162 each for the Wembley dates and one VIP pass at £2,614 after sales were released earlier this year.
When tickets went on sale for the UK and Ireland shows via official channels, some standard tickets more than doubled from £148 to £355 and the situation was blamed on “unprecedented demand”.
Ticketmaster has previously said it does not set concert prices and its website states this is down to the “event organiser” who “has priced these tickets according to their market value”.
