Oasis fans have been left fuming after discovering an apparent listing on eBay reselling tickets for the band’s reunion tour for £180 – only to discover the disappointing truth in the small print.
The listing, which appears to have since been removed, claimed to offer multiple tickets to one of the Britpop band’s 2025 concerts at Wembley Stadium.
However, a critical detail in the description exposes the “ticket” listing as being nothing more than a deceptive con.
It comes after millions of Oasis fans were left devastated on Saturday when they missed out on nabbing tickets for the summer 2025 tour after ticket sites crashed and people were kicked out of the queue for ‘bot-like’ behaviour.
Despite music lovers queuing for up to eleven hours on Ticketmaster, Oasis confirmed that all 17 shows were sold out by 7pm, leaving an unlucky 93 per cent of applicants empty-handed.

The listing, which has since appeared to have been removed, offered what seemed to be multiple tickets to see the iconic 90s band perform at Wembley Stadium in July 2025
The mad rush to secure tickets led many disappointed fans to turn to resale websites like Viagogo, where tickets are being resold at exorbitant prices, with some going for as much as £7000.
Oasis has issued a stern warning against purchasing tickets from third-party sellers at inflated prices, but this hasn’t stopped opportunists from trying to capitalise on the chaos on online marketplaces.
One such listing, which is reported to have surfaced on eBay, was posted on Reddit user u/PunctualZombie on the subreddit r/CasualUK. The listing claimed it was selling tickets to the reunion tour – but all was not as it seemed.
The listing appeared to advertise “Oasis tickets” for the relatively modest price of £180 each – but a closer look at the description revealed a significant catch.
The alleged seller described the item as a ‘must-have’ for anyone eager to experience the band’s live performances and touted it as a ‘piece of Oasis history.’
Only in the final two sentences did the seller declare that the product was not actual tickets – rather a set of plastic bottle wrappers from the soft drink brand, Oasis.
The description read: ‘Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of Oasis history. These are not actual tickets. What you are buying are Oasis bottle wrappers.’
Adding insult to injury, the listing claimed that ‘more than 10’ wrappers were available, meaning the seller could have pocketed nearly £2,000 by deceiving fans.

The Reddit post has since amassed over 500 responses from riled fans, with users urging the original poster to report the listing to eBay for removal.
One person wrote, ‘That’s so scummy. The title says tickets. I think stuff that is illegal in some countries,’ while another commented, ‘Funny as it is, I hope you reported the listing. eBay has really cracked down on false listing.’
A third wrote: ‘I once sat and watched an iPhone box go for £400 on eBay. It clearly said box in the title and description so never underestimate the stupidity of people to only see what they want to see.’
A search for “Oasis tickets” on eBay now shows listings for souvenir tickets from past tours, with no sign of the deceptive listing, suggesting it may have been taken down following complaints.
Oasis fans who missed out on tickets are advised to only purchase resale tickets through official platforms like Ticketmaster or Twickets to avoid falling victim to scams.
