Consumers around the world have long complained that the practice drives up prices and prevents fans from seeing their favorite artists. Some music fans believe that fandom and devotion should be taken into account when granting access to ticket sales.

In their statement on Monday, the band said the decision to opt out of dynamic pricing was made “to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the UK and Ireland have recently experienced”.

Ticketmaster has also come under scrutiny in the US, particularly after the disastrous sales of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in 2022. This sparked a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last year where senators examined Ticketmaster’s dominance of the ticketing industry.

The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the site and its parent company, Live Nation, earlier this year. Live Nation said the Justice Department’s allegations were “baseless” and its actions would prove counterproductive.

Representatives for Ticketmaster and Oasis did not immediately respond to requests for further comment Monday.

Oasis announced in August their first tour since the band’s split 15 years ago. Brothers and bandmates Liam and Noel Gallagher have not performed together since their altercation backstage at a Paris music festival in 2009.

The tour will begin in the UK and Ireland in July 2025 before heading to North America in late August. The band will play Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Mexico City and East Rutherford, New Jersey during its North American leg. Pre-sales begin on Thursday and general pre-sales begin on Friday.

Oasis said in a press release that they plan to take the tour to “other continents outside of Europe and North America” ​​later next year.
