‘Ticketmaster has simply ceased to exist.’
Oasis fans have been left furious after struggles with Ticketmaster when trying to purchase tickets for next year’s reunion tour.
Tickets went on sale this morning for the 17-date tour that Oasis will play across the UK and Ireland in summer 2025.
Liam and Noel Gallagher will perform live together for the first time since 2009 when they play concerts in Cardiff, Edinburgh, London, Manchester and Dublin in July and August next year.
When they announced the reunion tour, anticipation for the dates was at fever pitch, with some predicting demand for tickets would be greater than it was for Taylor Swift’s concerts this year.
So from 8am this morning, it appears that over 500,000 Irish fans were ready and waiting to bag themselves a ticket for the concerts.
But many have been left angry and disappointed after the Ticketmaster website struggled with demand for tickets.
Several reported that the site crashed for them, tweets about which you can read below:
Others, meanwhile, have voiced their frustration about getting stuck in a slowly or never moving virtual queue for tickets.
Another source of annoyance was the fact that tickets for the Irish gigs went on sale an hour before the UK ones, leading to UK fans possibly snapping up the earlier Irish tickets.
While others complained about Ticketmaster not alerting them as to when tickets were sold out.
Summing up the issues, one user joked: “Ticketmaster has simply ceased to exist, it has crumbled to dust, it is to the wind now”
Along with Ticketmaster, tickets are available from www.gigsandtours.com and See Tickets, but it seems like these had similar issues with demand as well.
The general sale came after a pre-sale had taken place between 7pm and 10pm on Friday evening.
Lucky winners of a ballot were sent pre-sale codes and could log on at 7pm to try and bag a ticket before most of the population.
But there were still long virtual queues for many, with the ballot registration having seen a huge amount of applications.
Tickets prices were announced on Thursday with seats going from £73, standing from £150, and premium packages from £215.
