Tickets for Oasis's Live 27 tour are already being resold for more than £7,000 on secondary sites, just hours after the first ballot-controlled presale window opened.
The band introduced a new ticketing system for the tour, requiring fans to register and join one of nine limited ticket windows, including three on the first day and three each on Saturday and Sunday. Despite these measures, resellers have begun listing tickets online, with many priced at more than double face value.
Resale prices and fan warnings
Secondary ticket site Viagogo listed Oasis tickets almost immediately after the presale window opened on Friday. Face-value tickets should range between £71.50 and £266.60, but general admission standing tickets on Viagogo are listed from £505 to £675. Premium seats and grandstand tickets for venues like Knebworth and the Etihad Stadium have been listed for anywhere between £2,988 and £7,267.
Viagogo defended resale as legal and pro-consumer in the UK while opposing organiser restrictions, adding it limits fan choice. The company asserts that buyers are covered by a guarantee ensuring valid tickets or a full refund. Fans have been warned against buying resold tickets amid scams and price hikes.
Smoother sales process praised
Despite the price hikes, fans were generally impressed with the new system. Unlike the huge initial rush for the 'Live '25' reunion tour, there was no open general sale, so fans did not queue for hours. One fan who bought tickets for the first Manchester weekend said they were through "within a couple of minutes", confirming it "wasn't an ordeal." Those buying Knebworth tickets said they reached the front of purchasing queues within an hour.
However, the process was not entirely glitch-free, with some users complaining that certain seating maps were "grey" and they were unable to pick their tickets.
Band's response and tour plans
Back in 2025, Oasis ticket sales caused controversy amid queues that lasted hours, site glitches and dynamic pricing. Yesterday Liam Gallagher promised the upcoming tour will provide a "life changing spiritual awakening" to those attending. Responding to people complaining about the price, he said: "You do know you're getting something in return for the exchange of money. Like a life changing spiritual awakening ffs".
He also teased the possibility of playing new songs on the tour, possibly by their great rivals, saying: "you just wait and see we're changing half the set list so it's gonna be as fresh as the prince of BLUR." The tour kicks off next May.
