Irish fans calling for more Oasis concert dates after chaotic scramble for tickets

‘Because maybe…’

Disappointed Irish fans of Oasis who failed to secure a ticket to the Britpop band’s Croke Park concerts next year have called on the group to announce more gig dates for the Emerald Isle.

Over 500,000 people are believed to have logged onto Ticketmaster Ireland from 8am this morning in a bid to secure tickets to see the newly reunited rockers perform at the Dublin stadium next August.

The band will be playing at the venue on August 16 and 17 as part of a string of UK and Ireland concerts.

Following confirmation of the reunion tour earlier this week, anticipation for the dates reached fever pitch, with some predicting demand for tickets would be greater than it was for Taylor Swift’s concerts this year.

This turned out to be the case, with many fans in Ireland left angry and disappointed after the Ticketmaster website struggled with the high demand.

On top of this, many fans who virtually queued for an hour were left fuming upon discovering that the only tickets left available were “in demand standing tickets” costing €415.50.

This has left several to take to Twitter to express their hope that more Oasis gig dates for Ireland will be announced.

Given that the August 16 and 17 Croke Park concert dates are currently the last of Oasis’ reunion tour, some fans suggested that more gigs could be announced for Ireland around the same time.

It has been rumoured, however, that the band could also take the reunion tour to North America from this point, which could put a damper on these Irish hopes.
