How to safely buy Oasis resale tickets amid scam warnings

Oasis fans who missed out on tickets for the band’s huge Live ’27 tour may be tempted to turn to resale sites or social media in the hope of getting their hands on a ticket.

But with huge demand for the Gallagher brothers’ return, fans are being urged to be careful when looking for tickets outside the official sale.

Oasis Live ’27 will see Liam and Noel Gallagher head out on the road again in 2027 for 42 shows across the UK, Europe, Ireland and the US. The tour begins at Glasgow’s Celtic Park in May before heading to Manchester, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston and Las Vegas.

The tour will then return to the UK and Ireland, with two shows at Slane Castle before six huge dates at Knebworth in September.

With tickets in such high demand, fans may see people claiming to have spare tickets on social media or other unofficial platforms.

However, fans should never send money directly to a stranger in exchange for an Oasis ticket, particularly by bank transfer. A seller appearing genuine online does not necessarily mean the ticket exists or will be valid.

Ticketmaster has confirmed that unwanted Live ’27 tickets can eventually be resold through Ticketmaster or Twickets, with UK resale tickets sold at the original price paid.

However, those official resale options will not be available until closer to the tour, meaning fans should be wary of anyone claiming to offer official resale tickets at this stage.

There will also be no general onsale for the tour. Fans were required to register for the chance to receive a unique code, with selected fans then given access to an allocated onsale. Even having a code does not guarantee tickets, as availability is limited.

For anyone who missed out during the current sales, it may be frustrating to wait, but there is no need to rush into buying from an unofficial seller.

The safest option is to wait for the official resale channels to open and only buy through Ticketmaster or Twickets once they become available.

With Oasis returning to Knebworth for six shows, alongside huge stadium dates in Manchester and Glasgow and concerts across Europe and the US, demand is likely to remain high.

For now, if a stranger is offering you an Oasis ticket online, keep your money in your pocket and wait for the official resale process.
