Oasis fans have been issued a warning when it comes to buying tickets on the reselling market as demand for them is expected to see the band’s reunion tour sell out within minutes.
Liam and Noel Gallagher put 15 years of bad blood behind them earlier this year, reconciling for a secret photoshoot ahead of the big reunion announcement just two days ahead of the 30th anniversary of their iconic debut album, Definitely Maybe.
Posting across the two brothers’ social media accounts, as well as the main Oasis pages, the band announced that ‘the guns have fallen silent, the stars have aligned, and the great wait is over’.

Fans went into hysteria, losing their minds over the iconic Manchester siblings finally burying the hatchet and praying they could get their hands on tickets to one of the 14 UK and Ireland shows confirmed in the reunion announcement.
Oasis will hit the road in July and August 2025, with those dates expected to expand to worldwide dates with the reunion set to be more than a two month get-together to satisfy their mum Peggy.
Tickets will go on sale for the UK and Ireland concerts this Saturday (31 August), with dates confirmed across Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin.
But for those who miss out on securing tickets first time – of which there will be thousands left disappointed – a warning has been issued when it comes to buying them second hand on resale.

Oasis resale warning explained
Oasis fans will be able to buy tickets from 9am on Saturday, 31 August from Ticketmaster, SEE Tickets and GIGSANDTOURS. For the Dublin gigs, tickets go on sale at 8am.
If you don’t get tickets, it’s definitely worth seeing if you can pick them up through official resale partners.
But you should stay away from buying them from unauthorised platforms, such as eBay or second hand on social media.
Doing this is a breach of the terms and conditions of the ticket, and even though you’d paid for it, it could end up being cancelled. You also run the risk of being scammed by going through unofficial routes.
Earlier this year, Lloyds Bank estimated that fans of Taylor Swift had lost more than £1 million to ticket scammers ahead of her UK tour.

Liz Ziegler, fraud prevention director at Lloyds Bank, said: “Hot on the heels of Taylor Swift’s record-breaking UK tour, fraudsters will be eagerly anticipating another run of sell-out shows next summer.
“Missing out on these landmark gigs would be devastating for Oasis fans who have waited so long for this reunion. But you can be sure that criminals are getting ready to ‘slide away’ with their hard-earned cash.
“Most of these scams begin on social media, where impostors create fake profiles to sell non-existent tickets. The simple rule for fans is always stick to official ticketing platforms and avoid deals which look too good to be true.”

Where can I buy Oasis resale tickets from?
Fans who can no longer attend the shows will be able to resell their tickets via Twickets or Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan.
Organisers of the Oasis concerts have said that fans should only use these official resale platforms.
And according to organisers, ticket resales will be allowed at no more than the price that was paid. We are talking face value plus the value of any booking fees.
Alongside tickets being limited to four per household, per concert, it’s a move that should stop ticket scalpers, who I think we can all agree are the absolute worst thing about the live music industry.
