“Today will be the day you can’t get tickets,” wrote one user on the opening words of the Oasis classic “Wonderwall” on the online platform X. Another user joked: “Sure, only half a million people ahead of me in the queue for Oasis tickets, I’m very optimistic!”
The band itself had previously spoken of “unprecedented demand”, but also warned against unauthorized resale of concert tickets at inflated prices. Tickets appearing outside of the official sales platforms are either fake or are being cancelled by the organisers, the group explained after sales began on X. Previously, advance tickets had been offered for 40 times the actual price of a standing ticket, as the BBC and others reported.
Tickets for the reunion tour cost the equivalent of at least 86.50 euros for a seat, and at least 175 euros for standing room. Some fans already had the chance to secure tickets on Friday evening. They could apply for a so-called pre-sale and then try to get a ticket using a special code.
Oasis announced the reunion on Tuesday – almost 15 years to the day after singer Liam Gallagher (51) and guitarist Noel Gallagher (57) ended their collaboration because the brothers had a serious falling out. Oasis is considered one of the most successful bands in British music history. With songs like “Wonderwall”, “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Supersonic”, the group from Manchester shaped the 1990s.
“The long wait is over,” the two Gallaghers announced on social media. 15 concerts are planned for the summer of 2025 in Great Britain and two more in the Irish capital Dublin. After the opening on July 4th and 5th in Cardiff, Wales, the band will play five concerts each in Oasis’ hometown of Manchester and London’s Wembley Stadium, as well as three in the Scottish capital Edinburgh, before heading to Dublin for the final show. Speculation continues about a world tour.
