Oasis reunion tickets live: Furious fans accuse Ticketmaster of upping prices as UK and Ireland shows sell out

Scott McLean, 28, logged into Ticketmaster at 7.30am on Saturday ahead of Irish sales opening at 8am.

He was in a queue of 20,000 for around 30 minutes before selecting four tickets to see the band’s show at Croke Park.

However, his browser began buffering for half an hour as he tried to make the purchase, prompting him to contact the Ticketmaster customer service account on X/Twitter, for advice.

“I followed their advice, cleared my cookies and cache on my browser and then it kicked me out completely. It just came up to that error screen after I followed their guidance,” McLean told the PA news agency.

“I had to rejoin the queue and I ended up about 700,000 places worse off after following their guidance.”

He said he feels “frustration and anger, not much more than that”, adding: “It’s just tickets for a concert after all, but I really wanted to go.”

A woman who has been a fan of Oasis for 10 years said she is “over the moon” to have secured two tickets for the band’s reunion tour and urged others “don’t give up”.

Isabelle Doyle, 21, from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, was among the few thousands of people who received a pre-sale code and secured two tickets on Friday for Wembley for £150 each.

“I sat in my living room, booted up Ticketmaster and I was about 5,000 in the queue. I was in the queue for about 40 minutes and managed to get two seated tickets for Wembley,” the barista told the PA news agency.

“I’m over the moon. I’ve been a fan of Oasis for about 10 years now, literally since I was 11 years old. Finally to be able to see them after they got me through as a teenager, it’s absolutely amazing and I’m so excited.”

She urged fans trying to buy tickets on Saturday to “keep going”.

Tickets for the first night of Oasis at Wembley Stadium are available on the ticket resale site Viagogo– but come with a hefty price tag ranging between £794 and £8,027.

Oasis have warned fans against reselling tickets at inflated prices on websites not linked to their promoter Ticketmaster or Twickets, saying they will be “cancelled”.

Fans had expected that general admission standing tickets would be priced at £150, but Ticketmaster users are reporting standing tickets are £355.

MP Coventry South Zarah Sultana has been among those venting their frustrations at their Ticketmaster experience this morning.

The word “shambles” is trending on X/Twitter, with many Oasis fans using it to vent their frustrations with their queuing experience. Many have been refreshing their browsers since 9am and still have no movement towards the front of the queue.

Among those expressing their annoyance is 5 News’ Dan Walker, who described his experience as: “In the queue, out of the queue, refresh / don’t refresh, wait in line, back of the line, accused of being a bot… timed out.”

If you’re still waiting in the Ticketmaster queue, you may have seen a new message pop up – and things aren’t looking hopeful.

“Tickets for Oasis are still available, but inventory is now limited and not all ticket prices are available,” the message reads.

Some fans have been joking that the band could split up again in the time it takes to secure tickets, since the brothers have a notoriously fractured relationship.

Twickets has told Oasis fans it will have tickets available soon – and to avoid buying passes through other secondary sites Stubhub and Viagogo
