Thousands of Oasis tickets were reportedly resold on secondary markets at inflated prices, prompting Ticketmaster and SJM Concerts to cancel over 50,000 tickets and relist them at face value. Oasis’ reunion tour tickets were in high demand due to the band’s 15-year hiatus following a feud between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. To combat ticket scalping, Oasis implemented strict resale guidelines, allowing tickets to only be resold at face value through specific platforms. The band also prioritized loyal fans by implementing fan-focused measures during ticket sales, including questionnaires and price caps on resale tickets. The upcoming Oasis ’25 Live tour, set to kick off in the U.K. and Ireland in July 2025, will also make stops in North America, with shows planned in Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and East Rutherford, New Jersey. Fans welcome these efforts to make tickets more accessible and affordable while deterring scalping practices that inflate prices and prevent true fans from attending concerts. Oasis’ proactive approach to ensuring fair ticket sales reflects growing concerns in the music industry surrounding ticket resale and access to live events.
