Oasis ticket sale LIVE: All UK and Ireland shows sold out after 'nightmare' virtual queues

All tickets for Oasis’s 2025 UK and Ireland gigs have sold out, the band said on social media platform X.

The announcement came at 7pm on Saturday after hours of controversy with some fans queueing for long periods on official selling sites Ticketmaster and GigsandTours.com.

General tickets for the band’s 2025 tour went on sale from 8am in Ireland and 9am in the UK, with online platforms experiencing outages and tech issues, leaving fans in a virtual queue for around five hours.

Those lucky enough to nab a ticket shared their excitement online while others were left frustrated by the process, claiming they were “kicked out” of the virtual queue on Ticketmaster just moments before purchasing.

Meanwhile, politicians have criticised ticket companies for trying to “fleece fans” as some tickets went on sale for five times the price they were expected to be.

Irish MEP Regina Doherty has called for an investigation into the pricing structure for tickets sold for the two Oasis gigs at Croke Park in Dublin.

“When ticket prices were advertised earlier this week, standing tickets in Croke Park were 86.50 euro plus booking fees, but when many people eventually got through the online queue this morning, they were faced with the exact same ticket at a price of 415.50 euro,” she said.

Oasis warned fans that any “counterfeit” relisted tickets “will be cancelled” as some cropped up on Viagogo for up to £5,909.

A post to the band’s X page said on Saturday: “Please note, Oasis Live ‘25 tickets can only be resold at face value via @Ticketmaster and @Twickets!

“Tickets appearing on other secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be cancelled by the promoters.”

Tickets are officially being sold via Ticketmaster, GigsAndTours, and See Tickets, however, the band’s reunion concert tickets have also been relisted on ticket exchange and reselling websites such as Viagogo.
