They cost €415 each.
Ticketmaster Ireland has come under criticism for selling ‘in demand standing tickets’ to Oasis’ much-anticipated Croke Park gigs next year costing over €400 each.
Tickets went on sale this morning for the 17-date reunion 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.
And from 8am this morning, it appears that over 500,000 Irish fans were ready and waiting to bag themselves a ticket for the concerts, set to take place at Croke Park next August.
However, after entering a virtual queue on Ticketmaster for over an hour, several have reported that the only tickets left available were “in demand standing tickets” costing €415.50.
This has caused anger amongst fans given that the price of tickets for the Croke Park gigs had previously been announced as starting from €86 plus booking fees and because the extra pricey in demand standing tickets do not include any VIP privileges.
Many have compared the ticket offer to the prices formerly expected from ticket touts, with one social media user dubbing it “legalised scalping”.
You can see a sample of some of the angry responses below:
