Scottish Oasis fans have taken to social media to express their anger after Celtic Park tickets for the band's 2027 tour appeared on resale sites for more than £1,700. The prices have been branded "absolutely ridiculous" by ticket hopefuls, with some calling for a ban on ticket resales.
Oasis is scheduled to play five nights at Celtic Park next summer as part of their 2027 tour. With thousands of fans hoping to secure tickets, only a select few were chosen under a new ticketing process designed to reduce sales chaos.
Fans left disappointed by code system
On September 24, fans waited eagerly to see if they would receive a unique non-transferable code to purchase the highly sought-after tickets. While some successful fans reported buying tickets in just four minutes on the first sale day, others were left disappointed by an empty inbox.
Although ticket sales continue over the weekend, many fans have already voiced their outrage online as tickets for Celtic Park dates are being resold. Screenshots from the Viagogo website show ticket prices as high as £1,726.
Face value versus resale prices
By comparison, face-value seats on Ticketmaster for the Glasgow gig range from £71.50 to £263.50, depending on the area. Similar price hikes have been observed at other venues, including Etihad Stadium in Manchester and Knebworth Park.
Sharing screenshots of the soaring resale prices from September 25 on X, @OasisMania wrote: "Oasis tickets are already on Viagogo at absolutely ridiculous prices." The screenshots show prices ranging from 566 euros to 2,144 euros for Celtic Park.
Fans call for resale ban
Fans have raged on social media, with one person writing: "It's absolutely ridiculous that Oasis, their management, or Ticketmaster didn't forbid the resale of the tickets by selecting that option - that's available to any artist and some use it."
Another added: "It's about time Oasis come out and ban any sort of ticket resales unless it's through Ticketmaster at face value. Every person reselling them at a high price are rat c****."
On TikTok, one fan complained: "It does my nut right in, not even proper fans..." A fourth person claimed: "I hope they all get cancelled! Wouldn't touch Viagogo with a barge pole!"
While others branded the resale prices as "absolutely disgusting", some argued that those who decided to buy the overpriced tickets were even "bigger fools". One person said: "Mugs if you pay that. They are taking you all for mugs." Another added: "All will get flagged and if you aren't aware enough to not purchase them... I don't know what to tell ya."
Viagogo defends resale practice
A spokesperson for Viagogo told the Daily Record: "Resale is legal in the UK. viagogo is a safe, secure and regulated marketplace and is fully compliant in the UK."
"We oppose anti-competitive actions taken by event organisers to restrict purchasing and resale options to certain platforms, as they ultimately harm fans by limiting their choice, flexibility and access. We will continue to advocate for access, transparency and open marketplaces for event lovers."
The spokesperson added: "Fans purchasing through viagogo are protected by our guarantee, which ensures they receive their tickets in time for the event and, in the rare event of an issue, are offered replacement tickets or their money back."
