According to Ticketmaster, there are still millions of fans queuing to get their hands on Oasis tickets. How long until they sell out?

Ticket sales have been going on for about an hour and a half now, with many fans sharing their successes on social media. Others have given up after being unable to get into the queue or otherwise having trouble completing payment.

Oasis today warned again that tickets resold at extremely high prices on sites such as Viagogo or StubHub risk being cancelled, with the only official resale channels being Ticketmaster and Twickets.

Not all women who remember the ’90s look back on it as fondly as the drunken lads described it, says Ashley Davies

Oasis fans are struggling to get tickets for the band’s comeback tour as booking websites have gone down.

The Gigs and Tours website of Manchester-based promoter SJM Concerts was experiencing problems even before tickets for the UK shows went on sale at 9am.

The site displayed messages saying: “Thankfully we are patient. There are a lot of people on the site looking for tickets at the moment, so we have set up a queuing system, which is completely normal.

“This page will automatically refresh and we’ll get you where you want to be as soon as a spot opens up. Thanks for your patience!”

Similar issues occurred on the ticketmaster.ie page for the two shows at Croke Park in Dublin, which went on sale at 8am.

Instead of opening a page to buy tickets, an error number was displayed. This usually means that a web page can no longer handle connections.

The same problem was reported by some British fans on ticketmaster.co.uk.

However, after a while the page was refreshed to let concertgoers know they were in the queue and “when it’s your turn, you can automatically browse events and buy tickets.”

A Ticketmaster spokeswoman denied the website had crashed and advised customers to “hold their place in line”.

A similar error was spotted on gigsinscotland.com/artist/oasis when Scottish fans tried to access the website for the Edinburgh shows.

The link tickets.seetickets.com/tour/oasis, where you can book for various dates in the UK, also appeared to be unavailable.

A message said: “Our website is very busy! There are many people looking for tickets and you are being held on this page until a spot becomes available. This page is automatically refreshed.”

Some Oasis ticket candidates also reported being “suspended” by Ticketmaster UK and Ireland after being accused of being “bots”.

Employees of the ticketing website responded to X, formerly Twitter, via its customer service account, saying: “Make sure you are only using one tab, clear your cookies and make sure you are not using VPN software on your device.”

It also shared a link to a guide on ‘how to increase your chances of getting popular tickets’.

“IF I GET TICKETS! I’m crying,” one fan wrote on X/Twitter after successfully securing her Wembley tickets.

“I got four Oasis tickets!” said another excited fan.

They must be sold out by now…

According to HMV, sales of previous Oasis concerts have increased sixfold compared to the previous week, due to the huge demand for tickets for their comeback concerts.

The entertainment retailer also reported a surge in pre-orders for the 30th anniversary edition of the band’s album Definitely Maybe, which was released on Friday.

According to HMV, the announcement has fueled demand for all of the band’s albums and their latest release.

This week, sales of all records and CDs at HMV were up 526% on the previous week.

Sales of their Definitely Maybe LP increased by 443% week-on-week, while sales of What’s The Story (Morning Glory) and Knebworth 1996 increased by 684% and 209% respectively.

The retailer added that pre-orders for Oasis’ 30th anniversary edition of Definitely Maybe had doubled from a week earlier.

Shocking images have surfaced on ticketing websites such as Viagogo, where tickets for the reunion are selling for as much as £7,025 for a single seat at Wembley Stadium in London.

This is despite Oasis warning that tickets resold at inflated prices will be ‘cancelled’. Instead, the band are referring fans to official resale sites Ticketmaster and Twickets, where tickets must be resold for face value plus the cost of the booking fee.

The Oasis website states: “Ticket resale is permitted up to the price you paid (face value + booking fee). Only use official resale partners www.twickets.live and Ticketmaster. Selling tickets via unauthorised resale platforms breaches these terms and conditions and may result in cancellation.”
