Ticketmaster has issued a statement after many Oasis fans reported similar problems with getting tickets for the band’s eagerly-anticipated reunion tour. The general sale opened at 9am this morning with thousands of fans logging on to Ticketmaster to get a place in the queue.

Oasis will play Manchester’s Heaton Park on July 11, 12, 16 19 and 20. Tour dates have also been confirmed for London’s Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh Murrayfield Stadium, Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and Dublin’s Croke Park.


However, many fans struggled to get their ticket due to the high demand to see the Gallagher brothers back on stage together after 15 years apart. People took to social media platform X to log a similar complaint that they made it to the end of the queue only to be signed out after they were suspected to be a bot.

@RobHenderson said: “You’re kidding. Right? TWO HOURS in the queue for tickets. Get to “445 people ahead of you” then this!?? What exact made you think me being logged into my Ticketmaster account and patiently waiting in your queue was “bot behaviour”?!”

Fans have also shared their frustration on social media after tickets appeared on resale website. Oasis issued a warning to fans after the presale as tickets for the band’s 2025 tour appeared on resale sites.

Those hoping to secure tickets were left furious as the pre-sale tickets hit websites, with some prices over £800. Oasis warned fans that any tickets resold on unauthorised websites will be invalid.


The band posted on X, formerly Twitter: “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 cancelled by the promoters.”
