Oasis Fans Warned of Ticket Cancellations Ahead of Reunion Tour

Thousands of Oasis fans could soon see their tickets for the band’s much-anticipated reunion tour canceled, following a crackdown on secondary resale platforms. Promoters Live Nation and SJM announced that more than 50,000 tickets, originally bought for the UK dates and later listed on resale websites, will be invalidated.

The move aims to tackle ticket touting and inflated prices after tickets for the 2025 tour—originally sold at face value through Ticketmaster and Twickets—appeared on resale sites within hours of release. Despite strict terms to prevent profiteering, around four percent of tickets found their way onto secondary platforms, equivalent to nearly 50,000.

When Oasis announced their reunion tour in August, demand was overwhelming, with 10 million fans from 158 countries vying for the 1.4 million available tickets. Many fans were left frustrated as tickets rapidly popped up on resale sites at higher prices. Now, these invalidated tickets will be re-released through official channels at face value.

Live Nation and SJM have urged fans not to purchase tickets from unauthorized sources, warning that they may be fraudulent or canceled. Any buyers who believe their tickets were wrongly canceled can contact the relevant ticket agents for investigation.

A spokesperson for the promoters emphasized the importance of protecting fans from excessive reselling: “Only four percent of tickets have ended up on resale sites, a fraction compared to other major tours, which can see up to 20 percent resold.”

Despite the clear stance from Oasis’ team, Viagogo, a leading secondary ticket platform, has stated it will continue selling tickets for the tour, arguing that it operates within the legal framework. In the UK, the resale of tickets is allowed as long as the tickets are obtained legitimately, and laws are in place to protect consumers. However, events must disclose if resale is prohibited, as Oasis has done.
