Thousands of Oasis tickets on the secondary market will reportedly be relisted on Ticketmaster at face value, according to the BBC.
Representatives for Ticketmaster and SJM Concerts, the promoters for Oasis’ upcoming reunion tour, told the publication that around 4% of the 1.4 million tickets sold for the band’s U.K. stops ended up on resale sites. Those tickets, which amount to over 50,000 according to the percentage reported by the BBC, will be canceled.
Any customer who believes their tickets to be cancelled in error can contact their ticket agent to open an investigation, according to the BBC.
Oasis, Ticketmaster and SJM Concerts did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Oasis had previously announced that tickets for the Oasis ’25 Live tour could only be resold at face value using Ticketmaster or the ticket resale marketplace Twickets.
These measures were implemented in an effort to curb ticket scalping, or reselling tickets at inflated prices for profit.
The demand for Oasis tickets has been high since the band, which consists of brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, has not performed together in 15 years following a lengthy feud between the Gallaghers.
Many fans struggled to secure tickets when the U.K. dates first went on sale. Some reported seeing tickets being listed on resale websites for up to 6,000 pounds shortly after they became available.
Since then, Oasis has been taking steps to get tickets in the hands of loyal fans and away from scalpers.
Consumers around the world have long complained that the practice inflates the prices and prevents fans from seeing their favorite artists. Some music fans feel that fandom and devotion should be considered when granting ticket sale access.
When tickets for the U.S. leg of the Oasis tour went on sale, the band implemented a questionnaire to keep the sale “fan-focused” and opted out of dynamic pricing to improve the ticket buying experience.
Additionally, after tickets for the Australian leg of the tour went on sale, it was announced that tickets for the two Melbourne shows could not be resold for over 10% above their original value.
The tour will start in the U.K. and Ireland in July 2025 before moving to North America in late August. The band will play in Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Mexico City and East Rutherford, New Jersey, during its North American leg.
