Oasis ticket-selling websites hit with outage issues

Oasis fans struggled to get hold of general sale tickets as some of the booking websites experienced outages.

Some issues were encountered on the ticketmaster.ie page for the two shows at Dublin’s Croke Park, which went on sale at 8am.

Instead of a page opening to buy tickets, an error number was displayed, which usually indicates a webpage is unable to handle any more connections.

Oasis told fans on Saturday to only buy tickets from the official websites amid reselling websites charging inflated prices for the Manchester rockers’ gigs.

The band said on X: “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.” 

On Friday evening the band issued a warning after unofficial reselling websites listed tickets obtained in the pre-sale ballot for thousands of pounds.

A post to the band’s X page said: “We have noticed people attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market since the start of the pre-sale.

“Please note, tickets can ONLY be resold, at face value, via @Ticketmaster and @Twickets.

“Tickets sold in breach of the terms and conditions 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 for thousands of pounds.

On Friday evening, Oasis tickets for Wembley Stadium were listed on Viagogo for up to £5,909 while some tickets at the London venue, listed under “Hospitality Club”, were on sale for £10,578 on StubHub.

The StubHub website says all Oasis tickets “come with our FanProtect 100% guarantee for secure purchasing.” 

On Friday evening the band asked fans whether they were “ready” for the sale and said it is “essential” to be logged into the “relevant ticketing agencies ahead of the general sale.”
