Oasis have addressed the backlash over Ticketmaster’s use of dynamic pricing for their reunion tour tickets.

Last Saturday (31 August) saw tickets for the highly anticipated reunion go on general sale, however thousands of fans were left heartbroken after lengthy queues and ‘crashing’ websites meant they missed out.

One thing in particular which caught the ire of fans was the use of surge pricing on Ticketmaster, which saw the cost of tickets rise from the £150 mark to around £355 later on in the day.

Ticketmaster has since defended the use of dynamic pricing, releasing a statement which said ‘promoters and artists set ticket prices’ and that they are either ‘fixed or market-based’.

Meanwhile, tickets have since appeared on secondary resale sites for thousands of pounds, despite the band warning that tickets purchased outside of Twickets or Ticketmaster fan-to-fan would be cancelled.

Oasis have now shared their response to the dynamic pricing debacle, releasing a statement which says at no time did they have ‘any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used’ prior to tickets going on sale.

“It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used,” the statement read.

“While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations.”

The statement added: “All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience, but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve”

The update comes after the band decided to add two more dates at London’s Wembley stadium to their tour, with fans able to get tickets through an ‘invitation-only ballot’ system.

Sharing the news in a statement on social media, the band wrote: “UK. Two extra Wembley Stadium shows have been added due to phenomenal demand.

“Tickets will be sold by a staggered, invitation-only ballot process. Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many UK fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on sale with Ticketmaster. More details to follow.”

The newly announced concerts will take place on 27 and 28 September 2025. Further details about how the ballot will work are yet to be announced, but the news will certainly delight fans who missed out first time round.

Oasis have added three more dates to their highly-anticipated 2025 tour following an ‘unprecedented demand’ for tickets.

The Britpop band will be making a return to the stage next summer across the UK and Ireland, and are performing in Cardiff, London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin.

It’s a sight that many never saw coming, but Liam and Noel Gallagher seemed to have settled their feud – for the meantime, at least.

And now, Oasis have announced via social media that there will be one more date in Heaton Park, another at Wembley and another in Edinburgh following the high demand for tickets.

They wrote on X: “Due to unprecedented demand, three new UK dates will be added to Oasis Live ‘25.

“Heaton Park – July 16th

“Wembley – July 30th

“Edinburgh – August 12th

“Tickets on go on sale this Saturday, 31st August at 9am BST: https://OasisMusic.lnk.to/oasisinet”.

As well as the general sale, those who signed up for the pre-sale ballot – if lucky – will be given the chance to buy tickets on Friday 30 August.

Despite these new dates being added, the band were quick to quash any rumours of them headlining any festivals, specifically Glastonbury as they stated that getting tickets to the world tour is ‘the only way to see the band perform’.

An unprecedented amount of people signed up to the pre-sale ballot though, with fans panicking as the all-important confirmation email didn’t hit some inboxes as quick as they’d hoped, prompting the band’s social media accounts to send a message of reassurance to them.

It read: “We are aware that many of you are still waiting on a confirmation email. Rest assured they are on their way, as we process an unprecedented volume of entries. Everyone who has filled out the ballot form by 7pm BST today, Wednesday 28th August, will receive an email where they can confirm their entry in the ballot.”

The majority of people have now received their confirmation emails though, as fans are anticipating the release of ticket prices at some point today (29 August) – not that it will matter too much to die-hards.

Where can I buy tickets?

Fans will be able to buy tickets from 9am on Saturday, 31 August from Ticketmaster, SEE Tickets and GIGSANDTOURS. The Dublin gigs will go on sale an hour earlier at 8am.

Tickets will be limited to four per household, per show. Under 14s will not be allowed and those under 16 will have to be accompanied by an adult.

If you missed your chance to land yourself some costly Oasis tickets, the band could be extending their reunion calendar with more dates.

That’s right, people.

If you spent hours in the ticket queue only to come up empty handed, this might be your chance to get your bucket hat out of the wardrobe and do your best Gallagher impression.

Even though the Oasis tickets have shocked quite a few people after more than doubling its prices while they waited on the Ticketmaster page, demand isn’t slowing down.

I mean, who can blame them?

The Mancunian band shaped an entire generation of kids and turned them into Brit Pop mods overnight.

So, it’s no surprise that all 17 UK and Dublin shows sold out in record time.

While that’s tough luck to any British and Irish fan, it seems like the US will be getting the privilege of seeing them too – thanks to Amazon Music?

After PA news agency leaked that no further UK dates will be added to their ‘Live 25’ itinerary, a huge digital billboard advert hinted at NYC concert dates on Monday 2 August.

The ad, created by Amazon was showcased in Times Square and read: “If we need to put up a billboard to get you guys to come to the states, here it is.”

Let’s see if that works out for them.

But even though US fans will be ecstatic, they’ll soon lose that smile when they also come up against the controversial dynamic pricing issue when they queue for tickets, which could actually be a breach of consumer law.

That’s because it had consumers believing that they would pay £135 per ticket and when they were finally able to buy them, the prices were £355, and they only had minutes to decide whether or not they could afford to pay.

According to Sylvia Rook, at the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI), who told The Guardian: “Dynamic, or fluid pricing, is not specifically prohibited by consumer protection law; the important factor is that consumers are not misled by the indicated price.

“It is a breach of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (2008) if a trader misleads consumers regarding the price of goods and services, if that causes the average consumer to take a different ‘transactional decision’.

“In this case many consumers would not have joined the queue had they known that the price would have increased by the time they were able to purchase, and many fans could not afford the increased price.”

After being approached by LADbible for comment, a representative for Ticketmaster explained that the site doesn’t set the prices for tickets and redirected us to an explainer webpage for ‘in demand’ and ‘platinum’ tickets. The page adds that ‘promoters and artists set ticket prices and ‘prices can be either fixed or market-based’, with the latter including the options for ‘in demand’ prices.

The page also states that ‘in demand’ and ‘platinum’ tickets are not part of a package and don’t come with any extras.

It’s still a shock to fork out double what you expected to pay though, isn’t it?

A limited number of Oasis tickets are up for sale on ticketmaster.com.

Dust off your parka and dig out the round sunglasses because Oasis have just announced their reunion and first UK tour in 15 years.

For years, the prospect of seeing brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher back on stage and performing classic tracks such as ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ and ‘Supersonic’ together seemed like something we wouldn’t expect to see in our wildest dreams.

However – after years of trading barbs and insisting that Oasis would never, ever be getting back together – the Britpop icons are back and playing a series of reunion shows next year.

“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” they said.

The band confirmed that they’d be playing a tour of the UK and Ireland, starting at the Cardiff Principality Stadium on 4 and 5 July 2025.

There would then be four dates at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 19 and 20 July.

From there, the Gallagher brothers would head down to London to play Wembley Stadium on 25 and 26 July, and then again on 2 and 3 August.

8 and 9 August dates for Murrayfield in Edinburgh are in the diary, as are 16 and 17 August in Dublin’s Croke Park.

Get yourself ready for this Saturday (31 August) because that’s when tickets go on sale, and you’d best believe there’s going to be monumental demand.

The announcement comes after days of fanfare on the internet following an exclusive article from The Sunday Times, which revealed that ‘industry insiders’ had confirmed that the brothers have seemingly buried the hatchet and will be playing a series of triumphant comeback shows.

Noel and Liam would also tease the reunion themselves by sharing a ‘27.08.24’ announcement on 25 August.

The cryptic announcement was also unveiled at the end of Blossoms’ gig at Wythenshawe Park.

How much will Oasis tickets cost?

It will come as a surprise to no one that a ticket to see Oasis back in action for the first time in 15 years won’t be cheap.

A report from the Manchester Evening News estimated that Oasis tickets will likely set you back a sweet £100.

The pricey tickets will no doubt see a lot of fans raising their eyebrows, however with tickets to sell out shows such as Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour going for over £100, it’s not surprising that Oasis ones would cost a similar amount.

There are also rumours that Oasis’ reunion shows could include a set at Worthy Farm, with another ‘industry insider’ telling the Mail on Sunday: “All the speculation about this reunion can get a bit tiresome. But there’s a genuine feeling that next summer’s Glastonbury will be too much of an attraction for Liam and Noel to turn down.

“They have been made aware of the headline slot that’s open for them next summer. Now it’s all down to them.”

LADbible Group has previously contacted Liam and Noel Gallagher’s representatives for comment.

Ticket prices for the highly anticipated Oasis 2025 tour have finally been released.

Oasis fans surely won’t care though, with the 15-year wait more than enough for them to fork out whatever is required to see Liam and Noel Gallagher perform together once again.

It’s a sight that many thought would never happen, as it didn’t seem like the brothers would ever make up, but here we are, as they shocked the world with their announcement on Tuesday (27 August) this week.

With 17 dates across the UK and Ireland, over one million tickets are up for grabs for the band’s reunion shows.

And despite the astronomical number, the chances of getting your hands on any of them aren’t that great, with the whole world set to be waiting in the queue with us.

As presale tickets go on sale tomorrow (30 August) to successful ballot winners and with the normal ticket release going ahead on Saturday (31 August), it’s about time that people knew what the price range was.

So without further ado, here is what it will cost you:

Tickets to the Manchester gigs at Heaton Park will cost:

• £148.50 for standing
• £268.50 for hospitality
• £453.50 for the pre-show party and fan package
• £353.50 for the mechanise and fan package

The Wembley gigs will cost:

• £151.25 per standing ticket
• With seats £74.25 to £206.25

At Cardiff they’ll be:

• £150 for standing will be £150
• £73 to £205 with seats

Edinburgh tickets will set you back:

• £151 for standing
• Seated will be from £74 to £206

And tickets for the Dublin shows will start at €86.50 (£72.96) plus a booking fee.

Following Tuesday’s world-shaking announcement of the tour, a source close to the family spoke about how happy Liam and Noel’s mum is after their 15-year long feud.

The source told the Mirror: “Liam and Noel’s mum Peggy would love to see them back playing together and has always urged them to stop arguing and put the past behind them. She will be thrilled too with what has happened.”

Sadly for fans though, the band’s social accounts brutally shut down rumours that Oasis would be featuring in any festivals next year, particularly Glastonbury.

Next year’s fix is set to be from 25 to 29 June, with the band not kicking things off on their tour until 4 July at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

Their statement, posted on Wednesday (28 August) read: “Despite media speculation Oasis will not be playing Glastonbury 2025 or any other festivals that year. The only way to see the band perform will be on their Oasis Live ’25 World Tour.”

What do I need to know about pre-sale tickets?

Oasis announced their pre-sale for its shows at 7pm on Tuesday, which ended at 7pm on Wednesday (28 August).

After applying for the ballot, applications will be selected at random to determine who will get a chance at bagging some tickets come Friday.

It’s worth noting that you can only claim one code per successful ballot entry. Your ballot also has no cash value and cannot be transferred to someone else, meaning you can’t flog it to fans desperate to get tickets early.

The code also cannot be used with any other email address than the one it was originally sent to.
