Oasis share when ticket pre-sale confirmation emails and successful ballots will be sent
Oasis have shared details about when fans can expect to receive pre-sale confirmation emails to buy tickets to their 2025 UK and Ireland reunion tour.
The Britpop giants confirmed a massive run of comeback shows on Tuesday (August 27), dubbed Oasis Live ’25. Set to take place next summer, the trek will see Liam and Noel Gallagher perform on stage together for the first time in 16 years.
Concerts are lined up for Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Dublin’s Croke Park, and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium.
Yesterday (August 29), additional dates were announced for Manchester, London and Edinburgh in response to “unprecedented demand”. The full list of ticket prices was also published online.
Tickets go on general sale at 9am BST/8am IST tomorrow (Saturday August 31) – you’ll be able to buy yours here (UK), and here (Ireland). Alternatively, there was a window for fans to sign up for a ballot to access a pre-sale scheduled for today (Friday August 30).
On Wednesday (28), Oasis reassured fans over the ballot after delays caused by an “unprecedented volume of entries”.
The group later extended the deadline to confirm entries until 10am BST today. Now, customers have been told that they can expect to be contacted by 5pm BST today if they’ve been selected for the pre-sale.
Due to a last minute surge in pre-sale ballot entries, a number of confirmation emails are still being processed and sent out.
The deadline to confirm your entry has now been extended to 10am BST tomorrow morning (Friday 30th August).
If successful in the ballot, you will be…— Oasis (@oasis) August 29, 2024
At the time of writing, a time for the pre-sale has not been confirmed. It was previously reported that it would take place at 7pm tonight, but this may have been postponed due to the delays.
“Success in the ballot will not guarantee tickets,” a statement read. “Tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis.”
Those registering for the pre-sale ballot were required to answer a series of questions in a bid to keep it “fair and fan-focused”.
Customers needed to disclose how many Oasis shows they’ve been to (according to the form, “this will not have any bearing on your ballot application”) and were asked: “Who was the drummer in the initial Oasis line-up?” (Your answer for this question must be correct to qualify for the ballot).
Elsewhere, Ticketmaster has outlined its strict rules for purchasing tickets – confirming that customers will only be able to order four tickets per household and card. Additionally, Oasis have partnered with resale platform Twickets where fans can buy unwanted tickets for no more than face value (plus booking fees).

There is currently talk about which previous Oasis members could be joining Liam and Noel on stage in 2025, with co-founder Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs reportedly on board.
The multi-instrumentalist plays in Liam’s solo backing band, and had called for an Oasis comeback last year. “I’m ready, got me dancing shoes,” he said at the time.
Earlier reports claimed that “no other original Oasis member is expected to join the reunion”, and that “the members of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will step in”.
Meanwhile, fans have been revisiting the group’s final setlist from 2009 to get an idea of what they might play next year. Check out NME’s dream setlist for the forthcoming huge gigs here.
There are whispers of a potential new Oasis album too, and plans are now “underway” for further Oasis Live ’25 concerts outside of Europe.
In other news, Oasis have ruled out a headline performance at Glastonbury 2025 and will not be appearing at “any other festivals next year”.
Oasis Live ’25 is reportedly set to make a staggering £400million, and will follow the extended ‘Definitely Maybe’ 30th anniversary reissue, which was released today (Friday August 30).
Following the reunion news, information emerged about Liam and Noel’s top-secret photoshoot – where a new press shot of the formerly estranged brothers was captured (see it above).
“For their fans to see them together again will be an amazing sight,” a source explained. “The atmosphere in the room was fizzing, it was electric.”
