Thousands of tickets for Oasis’ reunion concerts are set to be cancelled, the band’s promoters have said.
Live Nation and SJM told BBC File on 4 that it will cancel more than 50,000 tickets for Liam and Noel Gallagher’s UK dates listed on secondary platforms.
The promoters note that all of the invalidated tickets will be made available at face value on Ticketmaster, the official seller.
This comes after a whopping 1.4 million tickets went on sale in August after Oasis’s 2025 reunion tour was announced.

The band is set to play concerts in Manchester, Cardiff, London, Edinburgh and Dublin, while also embarking on a tour of the US, Canada and Australia.
However, as you’d expect, thousands of tickets appeared on resale websites within hours and Oasis Live ’25 promoters are now saying that many are set to be cancelled.
They added that the ‘examination of ticket sales is ongoing’ and the results will be ‘passed to relevant law enforcement’.
And promoters have issued a warning to fans to not purchase tickets from ‘unauthorised websites’ as they may be ‘fraudulent’.
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 four percent of tickets have ended up on resale sites.

“By comparison, some major tours can see up to 20 percent of tickets appearing via the major unauthorised secondary platforms.
“The examination of ticket sales is ongoing and the results will be passed to relevant law enforcement once complete where appropriate.
“Cancelled tickets will be made available again at face value in due course from the official agency Ticketmaster.
“More details on this will be shared soon.
“All parties involved with the tour continue to urge fans not to purchase tickets from unauthorised websites as some of these may be fraudulent and others subject to cancellation.
“If fans do want to sell Oasis tickets they can do so at face value through Ticketmaster or the band’s official resale partner Twickets.
“For fans who believe they have had tickets cancelled in error, refer to the email sent by the relevant agent when informed.”
