Thousands of Oasis tickets for Celtic Park have been bought up by touts, prompting renewed calls for a fast-tracked legal clampdown on resale mark-ups. An analysis of listings shows more than 1,000 tickets for the five Glasgow gigs are currently on sale on StubHub alone, with a combined value exceeding £2 million.
Tickets listed at six times face value
Front standing tickets for the concerts in May next year are being offered for more than £2,400 — around six times their face value. The listings come despite consumer protection changes introduced since the Daily Record campaigned for a ban on tout resale profits.
Creative Industries Minister Ian Murray has pledged that action will be taken soon to impose a legal ban that will criminalise such abuses.
Campaigners call for action
Adam Webb, of consumer group Fanfair Alliance, said: “Even from a fairly crude analysis of the site’s listings for Celtic Park, it’s fairly evident that a small number of touts dominate their overall listings.
“Many of these individuals are impossible to trace or contact in any meaningful way, which is very much against the spirit of UK consumer law - and something which has previously caught the attention of regulators.”
Webb advised fans to “steer clear of these uncapped offshore websites, and only use official ticket agents.” He also noted that StubHub does not appear to ask suppliers for receipts, meaning buyers have no way of knowing who they are purchasing from or whether the tickets have actually been bought.
Legislation promised but delayed
Hopes were high that 2026 would see a resale clampdown in line with the Record’s Stub Out The Touts campaign. However, the King’s Speech earlier this year listed the tout bill as a “draft”, leading to fears it would be dropped.
Webb said: “It’s been really encouraging to read recent comments from the Culture Secretary and the Creative Industries Minister. That said, we really need to see the proposed legislation and a clear timetable for its delivery. Fans deserve so much better than what they’re currently being faced with.”
A scan of the Celtic Park gigs showed more than 200 tickets for sale every day, with hundreds offered by just three sellers. One seller, Vladyslav Skrypka, lists a batch at £760 each; another, Your Ticket Delivery LLC, lists a large number at vastly inflated prices; and a third, Jules Foquereau, lists scores of tickets despite being apparently based in France.
More than 800 tickets were being offered for over £1,000 across the five nights. An even greater number of cheaper tickets are also on offer, often with mark-ups of 500%.
Fans warn against unofficial sites
Oasis megafan Laura Butroid, 45, secured two seated tickets for £273.50 each and said she would not pay a penny to touts. She said: “We missed out on the last Live 25 gigs and that was a blow, so we’re overjoyed to be going to the Celtic Park show.
“I wouldn’t have chanced it with a ticket tout because there’s always the risk that the promoters cancel the ticket - that’s what they say they will do. I don’t agree with it morally either.”
On an Oasis fans Facebook page, Giulio Di Lorenzo warned: “Just a word of advice from one Oasis fan to another: please don’t buy tickets just to resell them for a profit, and avoid unofficial resale sites.
“During last year’s tour, I saw people crying at the gates after being refused entry. They’d bought tickets through secondary ticketing sites, only to find that Ticketmaster had changed the QR codes a few hours before the show, leaving the tickets they’d paid for unusable.”
StubHub have been asked to comment.
