Oasis fans hoping to catch the band’s 2025 reunion tour should beware of purchasing tickets from unofficial sources. The promoters of Oasis Live ’25 have announced they will start cancelling tickets that don’t meet the tour’s terms and conditions.
Promoters warn of stricter ticket policies
The Oasis Live ’25 team confirmed they are actively reviewing ticket sales and will share the findings with law enforcement if necessary. Any cancelled tickets will return to Ticketmaster at face value for resale. Promoters advise fans to avoid unauthorised websites, which may offer fraudulent tickets or tickets that could be cancelled.

Keeping tickets in fans’ hands
The strict ticketing policy is intended to curb secondary sellers from reselling tickets at inflated prices. Promoters say this policy has limited resales to only 4% of Oasis Live ’25 tickets, compared to up to 20% on other major tours. Fans who bought tickets via unauthorised sites may find their tickets cancelled. If resale is necessary, promoters urge fans to use Ticketmaster or the official partner, Twickets, where tickets can be sold at face value.
Fans react to ticket pricing
Ticket sales for the UK and Ireland dates triggered frustration as resale prices skyrocketed on Viagogo. Standing passes for Wembley reached prices between £596 and £1,162, and a VIP pass soared to £2,614. Initial prices for standard tickets also increased, with some going from £148 to £355 due to “unprecedented demand.” This led to public outcry, prompting the government and the UK competition watchdog to investigate the use of dynamic pricing.
Ticketmaster has responded, clarifying that ticket prices are determined by the event organisers, not the ticketing platform.
Oasis secures legendary support acts
The reunion tour will feature support from Britpop icons Cast, who will open at all 19 UK and Ireland shows. Cast frontman John Power shared his excitement: “Oasis are the voice of a generation. Their music has been a soundtrack to people’s lives. We go way back, and I’m thrilled to join them on this journey.”
Power, who started with The La’s, said the tour will feel like revisiting his family’s Irish roots when it hits Dublin next summer. Meanwhile, former Verve singer Richard Ashcroft has already been announced as an opening act.
Fans advised to buy tickets carefully
During the initial sale, promoters warned fans to only use official sellers Ticketmaster and Twickets to avoid cancellations. Fans who believe their tickets were cancelled by mistake should refer to the email from the relevant agent. The promoters plan to provide more updates soon.
