Hundreds of thousands of people have been trying to get Oasis tickets
Ticketmaster has issued an update to people waiting in the very long queues for Oasis tickets, giving fans hope of bagging one.
This morning tickets went on sale 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 at 9am this morning, countless fans were ready and waiting to bag themselves a ticket for the concerts.
Many have been left waiting in queues just to get onto the website, as hundreds of thousands of people try to bag themselves a ticket.
Ticketmaster has now released an update giving a glimmer of hope to anyone still trying to get tickets, the Manchester Evening News reports.
In an update at 10am this morning to people in the queue, they said: “The queue for Oasis is moving along as fans checkout. Tickets are still available for all dates so please hold your place in line.”
Many have been left angry and disappointed after the Ticketmaster website struggled with demand for tickets.
When tickets went on sale at 8am in Ireland, many fans were greeted with an error message on the Ticketmaster homepage, Sky News reports.
Then, UK fans reported being put in a “queue for a queue” as they logged on to get ready for 9am.
In a statement shared with JOE, Ticketmaster said it had not crashed and people should “hold their place in line.”
A spokesperson said: “The queue is moving along as fans buy tickets. As anticipated, millions of fans are accessing our site so have been placed in a queue. Fans are advised to hold their place in line, make sure they’re only using one tab, clear cookies, and ensure they aren’t using any VPN software on their device.”
Oasis also issued a warning to fans shortly after tickets went on general sale, addressing concerns that people may end up paying hugely inflated prices on resale websites if they miss out through official channels.
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.
The full list of prices is as follows:
Manchester Heaton Park
- Standing – £135 (£148 including fees)

However, it wasn’t long before tickets appeared on resale website for hugely inflated prices, prompting Oasis to release a statement condemning this.
A post from the band’s official social media read: “We have noticed people attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market since the start of the pre-sale. Please note, tickets can ONLY be resold, at face value, via @Ticketmaster and @Twickets. Tickets sold in breach of the terms and conditions will be canceled by the promoters.”
When and where are Oasis playing?
Some 15 years after they last performed live together, Noel and Liam Gallagher will be performing as Oasis once more across the UK and Ireland in summer 2025.
Announcing the news after a weekend of intense speculation, the band said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
Oasis announced the dates and venues for a huge reunion tour in summer 2025, which included four dates at both Wembley Stadium in London and Heaton Park.
