Liam Gallagher calls Oasis fans the ‘rudest fans in the world’

JOE

As usual, Liam Gallagher hasn’t minced his words.

Liam Gallagher has said he has the “rudest fans in the world” in his latest round of tweets, adding: “Some days I just think to myself why do I even bother.”

It comes after the star told people complaining about the price of Oasis tickets to “shut up”.

Last weekend, tickets for the Gallagher brothers’ huge reunion tour went on sale, with millions hoping to bag a ticket to one of the dates the band are playing next July and August.

However, after queueing for hours to try and get tickets on Ticketmaster, many were left aghast when they finally got to the front of the queue. They found tickets were only available at much higher prices than they had been when they first went on sale that day.

In Ireland, these “in demand standing tickets” cost €415.50.

Since then, Oasis have claimed they had nothing to do with this “dynamic pricing”, saying it was decided by “promoters and management.”

Liam Gallagher took to social media for the first time since the controversy, and what he had to say left some people bemused.

In a post on X, he wrote: “OASIS are back your welcome and I hear there ATTITUDE STINKS good to know something’s never change LF***ING x”

Some took the opportunity to confront the singer about the ticket prices to see him and his brother perform next summer.

One fan commented: “Didn’t expect them to rip the fans off as much as they have done. It’s genuinely a shame.”

In response to this, Liam simply said: “SHUTUP.”

And when another fan asked if he had “any spare tickets”, Liam replied: “S**t loads but there really expensive 100 thousand pounds Kneeling only.”

In response to Liam’s interactions with fans, one person said that he “is so rude to fans,” to which the star had something to say.

“EXCUSE ME I have the rudest fans in the world some days I just think to myself why do I even bother,” he wrote.

“I’m sick of this s**t,” he added.

In response to the Ticketmaster pricing fiasco, Oasis said they had “at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used” during the general sale.

Yesterday (Friday, 7 September), Ireland’s Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) confirmed it has opened an investigation into Ticketmaster Ireland and its handling of the sale of the tickets to see the UK rockers last weekend.
