Many Oasis fans who are gearing up for that long-awaited reunion tour have hit a ‘Wonderwall’ while waiting online for tickets.
After the British rock group added three dates to their stadium tour due to overwhelming demand, fans have taken to social media to complain about long waits and other errors on Ticketmaster, just to be met with a £200 price surge on tickets.
“How the f— is this even allowed??? You said standing was £150 and upped them to £356 and called them ‘in demand’ you bunch of robbing f—ers,” wrote one customer on X. Another asked, “How is this not illegal?”
One group of friends recreated the band’s 1994 Definitely Maybe album cover, looking manic around their apartment with multiple computer screens set up on Ticketmaster. “Waiting in the queue for oasis tickets like,” they wrote.
After the pre-sale for Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour previously crashed Ticketmaster in 2022, leading to similar ticketing issues for Swifties, the Justice Department sued the website and Live Nation in May for stifling competition and driving up ticket prices.
“Ticketmaster isn’t fit for purpose,” another Oasis fan wrote. “Eight hours queuing, numerous times in the checkout, been suspected as bot, session suspended, website crashed as placing order, put to back of queue many times, price jumps of over 300% how does this s—ty website have a monopoly?!”
One Oasis fan had a creative, albeit destructive solution, for the snafu. “Contingency plan in place for if I don’t get Oasis tickets after enduring Ticketmaster’s terrible queue system,” they wrote, sharing a screenshot of an unsent DM to Liam Gallagher that reads, “Remember all the bad stuff your brother said about you?”
The Oasis Live ’25 Tour, which is set to kick off July 2025 in Cardiff, comes 15 years after founding members and brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher‘s long-held sibling rivalry resulted in the latter leaving the group mid-tour in 2009.
“It is with some sadness and great relief…I quit Oasis tonight,” Noel wrote in a statement at the time. “People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”
