Oasis tickets that were released for fans in the UK that missed out on the original sale are being sold on reselling websites for thousands of pounds.
The Britpop band, which reformed with Liam and Noel Gallagher last month, created an invite-only for the 27 and 28 September 2025 shows at London’s Wembley Stadium following outrage at issues with the original sale.
While adding the two dates to the run of the Oasis Live ’25 tour, Oasis said they were unaware that “dynamic pricing”, which saw tickets on sale for more than double the original price, was being used for sales on Ticketmaster – and blamed the situation on “unprecedented demand”.
Those who received a code had the opportunity to buy tickets for the new Wembley dates, but this did not guarantee success, with tickets sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
Tickets had been listed on the online marketplace Viagogo for £596 to £1,162 each for one standing ticket, and one VIP pass at £2,614 after sales were released.
StubHub also saw high prices, with two standing tickets on sale for between £482 and £4,820.
Standing tickets at the stadium were put on sale at a cost of £151.25, while a number of premium packages were also offered with the most expensive costing £506.25.
Viagogo has previously defended its reselling practices as legal and claimed it is a way to deal with fans being frustrated by having website issues trying to buy tickets for gigs.
Cris Miller, Viagogo global managing director, previously said: “We know fans are frustrated with the process and we know there is a better way. We continue to support industry collaboration to ensure the entire ticketing market works for fans and the live entertainment industry.
“Resale is legal in the UK and fans are always protected by our guarantee that they will receive their tickets in time for the event or their money back.”
He also said: “Our number one tip for fans using secondary marketplaces is to continue to check prices outside of the first few weeks of sale.
“Demand will be at its peak when tickets hit the on-sale, but it’s not a normal reflection of what tickets can and will go for. Just this summer, tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in the UK sold on our platform for as low as £80.”
Here, the competition watchdog has opened an investigation into Ticketmaster’s sale of Oasis concert tickets for their August 2025 shows in Croke Park.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) said the move followed a review of more than 100 complaints received by its helpline.
In Ireland, the practice of reselling tickets above face value is banned.
The previous ticket sale for the tour also caused controversy in the UK, prompting the British Government and the UK’s competition watchdog to pledge that they will look at the use of dynamic pricing.
Ticketmaster has previously said this was down to the organiser of the sale, not its website.
A spokesperson for Ticketmaster in the UK said: “Ticketholders are strongly advised to resell their tickets through Ticketmaster or Twickets only. The tour has put this policy in place to cap ticket resale prices to combat price inflation and prevent ticket touting.
“Selling tickets on unauthorised resale platforms breaches the promoter’s terms and conditions and may result in those tickets being cancelled.”
Oasis, StubHub, and Viagogo have been contacted for comment.
