Oasis warn of fake re-sale tickets ahead of North American reunion tour

3 October, 2024

Oasis have warned fans of scammers who are selling fake re-sale tickets ahead of the band’s North American reunion tour.

Earlier this week, Liam and Noel Gallagher announced the first run of international dates for their Oasis reunion tour which includes shows across North America and Mexico. They then went on to share that due to “phenomenal demand”, four new dates were added to the tour.

The general sale for tickets will go live tomorrow (October 4) at 10am local time. Visit here to buy tickets and find more details here and check out a full list of tour dates below.

Now, as reported by the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) in a letter issued to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation Chair Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), “Over 9,000 tickets for Oasis shows have surfaced on two of the largest resale platforms ahead of their official sale, in spite of there being no legitimate tickets available for fans to purchase yet.”

The ‘Wonderwall’ hitmakers took to their official X/Twitter account to alert fans that those tickets are not valid. “Please be aware. Thousands of fake Oasis tickets have already been discovered on Stubhub and Vivid Seats before the North America tour has even gone on sale! @TwicketsUS and @Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan in the US and Canada are the only official resellers,” read their tweet.

The band recently confirmed that a dynamic pricing structure will not be applied to their North American reunion tour dates, following the disaster that struck fans of the legendary rock band while trying to purchase tickets for their UK and Ireland ‘OASIS LIVE ’25’ reunion tour.

Fans were taken by surprise by the dynamic pricing in place on Ticketmaster which saw the price of a ticket increase based on demand. The ticketing giant clarified on their website previously that tickets that are “market-priced” “may increase or decrease at any time, based on demand. This is similar to how airline tickets and hotel rooms are sold.”

“Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model will not be applied to the forthcoming sale of tickets to Oasis concerts in North America,” a statement shared to social media read. “It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable.”

“But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.”

Following the UK and Ireland sale controversy, the issue was brought to the Advertising Standards Agency and the European Commission, with a separate call for an investigation brought by the UK government.

Experts also suggested that not warning Oasis fans of the dynamic pricing may breach consumer law.

Following the dynamic pricing controversy, the band announced their partnership with Twickets – confirming they will serve as the official resale platform of the tour.

In a statement posted to the band’s official website discussing the partnership, they stated: “Ticket resale is permitted at no more than the price you paid (face value + booking fees).

“Please only use the official resale partners www.twickets.live and Ticketmaster. Selling tickets through unauthorised resale platforms will breach these T&Cs and those tickets may be cancelled,” a statement continues.

However, Twickets did face controversy after Oasis fans found tickets on the site only to see fees of well over £100 or more. The platform went on to explain that “our fee is for buyers only and is 10-15 per cent of the face value of the tickets.”

As per Sky News, Twickets did go on to take a U-turn on the fees and announced it is lowering its charges due to “exceptional demand” from Oasis fans.

Elsewhere, an exclusive source told NME that the Gallagher brothers are set to announce more reunion shows within the US and other international territories such as South Korea, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Chile and Argentina. The exact venues, dates and ticket sale details will be announced soon.

Liam and Noel have not performed together since Oasis’ acrimonious split in 2009, following an “altercation” between the pair at Paris’ Rock en Seine festival, just hours before their headline appearance.

Following on from his victorious Reading 2024 headline set, last weekend saw Liam perform Oasis classics ahead of the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois boxing match at Wembley Stadium, before hitting out at “SHITC**T” critics who complained online about the sound of his vocals. He then bid farewell to his band as he played his last scheduled solo show in Malta.
