F**king hell, that was a chaotic experience wasn’t it?
It looks like you’re going to have quite the job getting your hands on tickets for the Oasis reunion tour now as they’ve pretty much all been snapped up.
After yesterday’s pre-sale and today’s main sale Ticketmaster is now telling people that ‘inventory is now limited and not all ticket prices are available’.
Unless the band adds in even more tour dates by popular demand or issues further rounds of ticket sales, then your only hope to see Oasis now is to get tickets to this ‘world tour’ they keep talking about.
Unless… someone who has already bought a ticket decides to sell it on, then you’d have a chance.

There will be various reasons why someone who just bought Oasis tickets would be selling them on.
They might have realised they can’t make it after all, or that forking over a decent chunk of cash for Oasis tickets is an expense they can’t afford.
Or they might be some of those damn no good scalpers and scammers looking to make people part with their money, and perhaps there won’t even be a ticket at the end of it.
With Oasis 2025 tickets in such high demand, scalpers will be doing their utmost to get their grubby hands on them so they can rip people off.
Anyone who does want to sell on their ticket should only do it via Twickets or Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan, according to the Oasis tour organisers, so that’s where you’d be able to buy them from if there’s any going.

According to these sites, tickets can also only be resold for cost price, which is face value plus booking fees.
Those who resell them via alternative means or for more than cost price face the tickets being cancelled, which would be gutting news for any buyer thinking they’ve secured a spot at the concerts.
It’s hard luck that you didn’t get a ticket in the furious scramble this morning, but the sad truth is there were always going to be more people wanting Oasis tickets than there were tickets available. So keep checking the official resale places to see what comes up and keep your wits about you.
The band themselves have called out trying to buy tickets on resale from anywhere but the official sources, warning that ones sold outside the official sources can be cancelled by the organisers.
Don’t go looking for scalpers, try and see if tickets are available through legitimate means instead, otherwise you could end up with a ticket you can’t use or get scammed and have no ticket at all.
Even before any official tickets went on sale a German reselling website was posting Oasis tickets for up to £1,700, though has since scrubbed the listing.
