Will my Oasis tickets be cancelled? How do I do know in the event that they’re actual? When is the resale? As 50,000 followers face having reunion gig goals shattered – here is every little thing YOU must know

Thousands of fans are at risk of having their Oasis reunion tickets cancelled after purchasing them on resale sites. 

Liam and Noel Gallagher set tongues wagging after confirming in August that they had set their differences aside and reunited the band for a new tour.

Some 14 million devotees had competed for a chance at one of around 1.4 million tickets, with the lucky few making their success known shortly after the sale. 

But yesterday, the promoters announced they will begin cancelling up to 50,000 tickets which have ‘broken the terms and conditions’ in the coming weeks.

The news will come as a huge blow to avid listeners of the 90s superstars, with some having forked out as much as £1,400 for a single ticket. 

Here MailOnline answers some of the key questions about the shocking news and how it will affect you. 

Why are tickets being cancelled? 

Live Nation and SJM, who are the promoters of Oasis’ upcoming Live ’25 tour revealed that more than 50,000 tickets ended up on resale sites. 

They said that these tickets are ‘in the process’ of being cancelled for breaking the terms and conditions of their sale.  

A spokesperson for the promoters said: ‘Following on from commitments made by the band in the run-up to the Oasis Live ’25 on sale, the tour’s promoters have advised that ticket agents Ticketmaster and See Tickets will start the process of cancelling tickets that are believed to have broken the terms and conditions put in place for the tour in the coming weeks.

‘These terms and conditions were successfully put in place to take action against secondary ticketing companies reselling tickets for huge profit, as a result only 4% of tickets have ended up on resale sites.’

This latest update will come as a devastating blow to fans who had already been left dismayed after the price of some tickets almost doubled during September’s sale. 

The ticketing approach was condemned by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute, who told how one of their members queued for five hours before being charged £348 for a Wembley standing ticket when expecting to pay £151. 

Many fans also missed out on the reunion tour tickets as they battled with website issues, and being mislabelled as bots, before Oasis announced all 17 shows in the UK and Dublin had sold out. 

Following the ticket row, the Advertising Standards Authority said it received 450 complaints about Ticketmaster adverts for the Oasis gigs.

A spokesperson for the UK’s regulator of advertising said the complainants argue that the adverts made ‘misleading claims about availability and pricing’.

Ticketmaster said it does not set prices and its website says this is down to the ‘event organiser’ who ‘has priced these tickets according to their market value’.

A Viagogo spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘Ticket resale in the UK is legal and we want to reassure fans buying tickets on viagogo that we are fully compliant with the law and guidelines set out by relevant regulators.

‘Every order on our platform is protected by our money-back guarantee. Threats from promoters to cancel tickets unfairly target fans who chose to buy on a secure, transparent, and highly regulated resale marketplace. 

‘Such actions are clear examples of anti-consumer and retaliatory behaviour. This reinforces our longstanding concerns about competition, abuse of dominant positions in the primary market and the resulting detrimental impact this has on fans across the UK.

‘Ticketmaster, owned by Live Nation, has a long history of anti-competitive and anti-consumer behaviour and is now the subject of an antitrust lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice in the United States.

‘Our priority remains getting fans into live events. Fans deserve the freedom to buy and sell tickets through the regulated platforms they prefer.’

Will my tickets be cancelled?

While the resale of tickets in the UK is legal, fans were urged to only buy and sell tickets on official resellers Ticketmaster and Twickets, with a warning resale tickets bought elsewhere may be cancelled.

Therefore fans who purchased their tickets on ‘unauthorised’ reselling sites could face having their tickets cancelled if they are found to ‘have broken the terms and conditions’. 

The terms and conditions state: ‘Ticket resale is permitted at no more than the price you paid (face value + booking fees).

‘Please only use Ticketmaster’s or the artist’s official resale partner – please see the artist’s website for more details. 

‘Selling tickets through unauthorised resale platforms will breach these T&Cs and those tickets may be cancelled.’

The promoters added that if any fan believes their ticket was ‘cancelled in error’ then they should ‘refer to the email sent by the relevant agent when informed’. 

How do I know if my tickets are real? 

The only way to absolutely guarantee that your tickets are real, is if you purchased them with the official resellers Ticketmaster and Twickets. 

Liz Ziegler, fraud prevention director at Lloyds Bank, said that purchasing tickets with official sellers is the only way to guarantee your tickets are legitimate. 

She told MailOnline: ‘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.’

When is the resale?  

The promoters said the ‘examination of ticket sales is ongoing’ and the results will be ‘passed to relevant law enforcement’. 

They said cancelled tickets will be made available again on Ticketmaster at some point in the future. However it is not known when exactly this will take place.

Where are Oasis touring?   

Oasis have announced an initial run of 14 shows that will take place across the UK and Ireland in 2025. 

This will consist of two nights at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on July 4 and July 5, followed by a run of four nights at Heaton Park in their native Manchester.

They will play at the esteemed outdoor venue – the site of their last hometown performances in 2009 – on July 11 and 12 and July 19 and 20.

This is set to be followed by another set of four nights, this time at London’s Wembley Stadium. These will take place on July 25 and 26, as well as August 2 and 3.

Fans based in Scotland will be hoping to get their hands on tickets for shows at Murrayfield in Edinburgh, which will be held on August 8 and 9.

The initial round of dates will finish in Ireland, with the group performing two sets at Dublin’s Croke Park on August 16 and 17 next year.

Further dates were confirmed by the group on the morning of Thursday August 29.

This will see them play extra shows in Manchester (July 16), London (July 30) and Edinburgh (August 12).
