Oasis ticket prices and additional dates

The battle for tickets for the long-awaited Oasis reunion has now begun: the band has announced ticket prices and added three new tour dates due to “unprecedented demand”.

Fans will have to pay between £73 for the cheapest seats and £506 for the top premium package.

The new shows will take place on July 16 in Manchester, July 30 in London and August 12 in Edinburgh.

More dates may be added with the start of presales, which are expected to take place on Friday, and the start of general sales on Saturday.

Here’s everything we know so far about tickets and the rest of the tour.

So far, only dates for Oasis’ world tour in Great Britain and Ireland have been announced.

They play five dates at Heaton Park in Manchesterand five at London’s Wembley Stadium.

They also play three nights at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburghand two at The Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

The last gigs will take place in Ireland, at Dublin’s Croke Park.

The dates:

4 and 5 July – Cardiff, Principality Stadium

11, 12, 16, 19, 20 July – Manchester Region, Heaton Park

25, 26, 30 July and 2, 3 August – London, Wembley Stadium

8, 9, 12 August – Edinburgh, Murrayfield Stadium

16 and 17 August – Dublin Region, Croke Park

The band announced that these dates would be their only European appearances next year.

Oasis Live ’25 has been described as a “world tour,” suggesting that worldwide dates will be announced soon.

There was a vote to apply for pre-sale tickets before general sale, with registration to vote closing at 7pm BST on Wednesday.

The band said the aim of the vote was to “ensure that as many fans as possible are given a fair chance at tickets.”

Fans who applied had to provide their contact details and answer a general knowledge question about the band.

They were then sent an email with a link to confirm their attendance. However, many of these emails were delayed. The band’s official X account attributed this to “a surge in last-minute pre-sale entries.”

The deadline to confirm ballot submissions has now been extended to Friday, 10:00 a.m. Successful applicants will be sent information on how to access presale by Friday, 5:00 p.m.

However, it is still unclear when the pre-sale itself will start.

Success in the raffle does not necessarily mean a guarantee that the tickets will be allocated, as these are allocated on a first come, first served basis, it was said.

Following pre-sales on Friday, tickets for the UK shows will go on general sale at 9am (BST) on Saturday.

Tickets for general sale in Dublin will be available one hour earlier on the same day.

General standing tickets cost around £150. General seated tickets cost between £73 and around £205 (except in Manchester, where it is standing only).

Then there are premium standing and seated packages, costing between £216 and £506.25 and including merchandise, access to a pre-show party and a private Oasis exhibition, depending on the ticket category and venue.

These are nominal prices. Given the high demand, ticket resale sites are likely to charge significantly more.

The official sales outlets are Ticketmaster, Gigsandtours and SeeTickets.

If someone buys a ticket but then wants to resell it, they can only get the amount they paid back – that is, the face value plus booking fees – and they can only do so through Twickets or Ticketmaster’s fan-to-fan service. The terms and conditions state that reselling a ticket through any other platform is against the T&Cs and may result in the ticket being cancelled.

One of the aims of this is to prevent tickets from being offered on other secondary ticket sites – often at greatly inflated prices – which will continue to happen.

Another thing that is likely to happen is scammers taking advantage of the high demand. Consumer group Which one? says: “If you buy tickets from strangers on social media, you are at risk of being scammed. Be especially careful of newly created profiles that do not follow anyone or have no followers.”

Which? also advises against paying by bank transfer, as this is often the preferred method of fraudsters. “If you choose to buy tickets from a retailer, try paying with a credit card so you are protected by Section 75. Alternatively, PayPal has its own buyer protection scheme.”

Before the announcement of their reunion on Tuesday, rumors circulated that Oasis could headline the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury for the third time as part of their return next summer, having done so in 1995 and 2004.

However, the band has expressly ruled out any festival appearances next year, including Glasto.

“Despite media speculation, Oasis will not play at Glastonbury 2025 or any other festival next year,” they said in a statement published on X.

“The only way to see the band live is on their Oasis Live ’25 World Tour.”

Oasis were formed in Manchester in 1991 – their original line-up consisted of Liam and Noel, guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, bassist Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan and drummer Tony McCarroll.

However, the line-up changed over the years (scroll down for more details) before the band performed for the last time at the V Festival in 2009.

Bonehead and Liam remained friends and the guitarist accompanied Liam on some of his shows.

It is not yet clear who fans will see on the tour other than the Gallagher brothers. BBC News has asked the organizer for clarification.

The band officially split up in 2009 after an argument backstage at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Noel explained two years later that Liam had tried to attack him with his guitar during an argument.

He claimed the dispute began after he prevented Liam from promoting his clothing brand on the V Festival programme, where the two were due to perform.

Liam said in 2017 that he felt unfairly scapegoated by Noel and had to take the blame for the band’s breakup.

But problems had already begun to arise before the incident at the festival: the couple could not agree on the artistic direction of their last album “Dig Out Your Soul”, which was released in 2008.

Many fans will be curious to see how the relationship between the brothers will develop 15 years after their separation.

When it was founded in 1991, the group initially consisted of five members.

They included Paul Arthurs on guitar, Paul McGuigan on bass and Tony McCarroll on drums – with Liam Gallagher on lead vocals and Noel on lead guitar and vocals.

McCarroll was replaced by Alan White in 1995 and Arthurs and McGuigan were replaced by Gem Archer and Andy Bell in 1999.

White then left the band in 2004 and was replaced by Zac Starkey, making way for Chris Sharrock in 2008.

The remaining band members continued with Liam Gallagher and formed the new band Beady Eye, which disbanded in 2014.

It is not known which, if any, of the former band members will join Liam and Noel on tour next year.

A statement from the band read: “The guns are silent. The stars are aligned. The long wait is over. Come and see it. It won’t be televised.”

Only those who were in the same room with Noel and Liam – aged 57 and 51 respectively – when they decided to get back together will know the real reason for their reconciliation.

Many wrote them off and said it was unlikely they would ever play together again – especially after Noel refused to appear on stage with Liam at One Love Manchester after the city was rocked by the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert.

The cynical answer, of course, is that 17 big shows (so far) will bring the band a lot of revenue.

Based on Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour,” they could earn around £14 million per concert.
