Several fans have reported being ejected from the website after reaching the front of the queue.

Music enthusiasts have branded Ticketmaster a “complete farce” after tickets for the Oasis tour next summer went on general sale.

This morning, tickets for the 14-date tour that Oasis will play across the UK and Ireland in the summer of 2025 went on sale.

Liam and Noel Gallagher will perform live together for the first time since 2009, with concerts scheduled in Cardiff, Edinburgh, London, Manchester, and Dublin in July and August next year.

When the reunion tour was announced, anticipation reached fever pitch, with some predicting that the demand for tickets would exceed that of Taylor Swift’s concerts earlier this year.

At 9 a.m. this morning, countless fans were ready and waiting to secure tickets for the concerts.

However, many have been left frustrated and disappointed as the Ticketmaster website struggled to cope with the demand.

Nearly two hours after the general sale began, many fans were still waiting in queues to access the website, with See Tickets and Gigs and Tours experiencing similar issues.

Numerous fans have criticised the ticketing platforms, with some expressing that there “must be a better way,” according to the Manchester Evening News.

One fan wrote on X: “Complete farce. Got in after queuing, kicked out every time I click on the date I want… Then chose a different night… kicked out again. Then it crashed… Back out of the site and in a queue for a queue to queue for tickets.

“Bring back queuing round the block at HMV…”

Another person commented: “Getting gig tickets should never be this hard. Been in the queue to get on the website since 8:45 a.m., still no sign of even getting that far! There has to be a better way than this.”

Others reported that they had queued for “two hours”, only to be “kicked out and suspended” once they reached the front of the queue.

Meanwhile, TV presenter Dan Walker suggested there should be a “fairer, simpler, more efficient way of selling tickets that isn’t open to touts, scammers, resellers, and bots.”

He added: “In the queue, out of the queue, refresh / don’t refresh, wait in line, back of the line, accused of being a bot… timed out.”

When tickets went on sale at 8 a.m. in Ireland, many fans were met with an error message on the Ticketmaster homepage, as reported by Sky News.

UK fans subsequently reported being placed in a “queue for a queue” as they logged on to prepare for the 9 a.m. sale.

Ticketmaster has defended its process, and a spokesperson told the Press Association that the website had not crashed.

They stated: “The queue is moving along as fans buy tickets. As anticipated, millions of fans are accessing our site, so they have been placed in a queue.

“Fans are advised to hold their place in line, ensure they’re only using one tab, clear cookies, and make sure they aren’t using any VPN software on their device.”

Oasis also issued a warning to fans shortly after the general sale began, addressing concerns that people might end up paying heavily inflated prices on resale websites if they miss out through official channels.

The general sale followed a pre-sale that took place between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Friday evening.

Lucky winners of a ballot were sent pre-sale codes and could log on at 7 p.m. to try and secure a ticket before the majority of fans.

Ticket prices were announced on Thursday, with seats starting at £73, standing tickets from £150, and premium packages from £215.

The full list of prices is as follows:

Manchester Heaton Park:

• Standing – £135 (£148 including fees)

• Hospitality area – £250 (£268 including fees)

Cardiff Principality Stadium:

• Pitch standing – £135 (£150 including fees)

However, tickets quickly appeared on resale websites at heavily inflated prices, prompting Oasis to release a statement condemning this practice.

A post from the band’s official social media accounts stated: “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.”

When and where are Oasis playing?

Some 15 years after their last live performance together, Noel and Liam Gallagher will be performing as Oasis once again across the UK and Ireland in the summer of 2025.

Announcing the news after a weekend of intense speculation, the band stated: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”

Oasis announced the dates and venues for a major reunion tour in the summer of 2025, including four dates each at Wembley Stadium in London and Heaton Park in Manchester.

The band will also perform in Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Dublin in July and August next year.

On Thursday, they added three additional dates in London, Manchester, and Edinburgh to the initial schedule due to “unprecedented demand.”
