Oasis fans must answer 1995 album question for 2027 tour ballot
Oasis fans answer 1995 album question for tour ballot

Fans hoping to enter the Oasis Live 27 ticket ballot must answer a key question: which Oasis album was released in 1995? The question is part of a new registration system designed to beat virtual queues and prevent ticket touts from securing tickets.

New registration system for 2027 tour

Following last year's drama, when fans waited hours in a virtual Ticketmaster queue and some tickets sold for more than the intended price, the band has changed its approach. Fans must now register on the Oasis website to be in with a chance of landing a spot on the ballot. Successful applicants receive a unique code granting entry to an allocated on-sale window.

Upon sign-up, fans are asked for their first, second, and third venue preferences, as well as whether they would like information about travel packages, including coach travel and hotel packages. After that comes the key question about the 1995 album, which is intended to prevent touts and non-fans from getting tickets.

Ticket sales and pricing details

A code does not guarantee a ticket. Ticket sales take place in the UK on September 25, 26, and 27, with three windows each day. Fans will find out which on-sale window they have been allocated and what time they can access the sale. There will be no general sale or other public pre-sales outside the allocated windows. Registration is open now.

Standard seated tickets cost £71.50, £104.50, £170.50, £203.50, and £263.50, including fees. Standing tickets cost £170.50 and £203.50, including fees. Hotel, coach, and VIP packages are also available.

Tour announcement and dates

Announcing the tour, Oasis said: "START THE CELEBRATIONS!!!! After a period of reflection, 'The Most Damaging Pop Cultural Force In Recent British History' has declared itself fit for purpose and will once again return to lift the spirits of the people. Come witness the fitness. It shall be a sight to behold."

Noel Gallagher revealed on TalkSport that the decision was made after their second Wembley show last year. He said: "It was after about the second Wembley show. Nobody knew what was going to happen and how it was going to go. We did Cardiff and Manchester, and by the time we got to Wembley, someone said 'Well y'know...' And yeah, it was decided we were gonna do it. And it was all set in motion then."

He added: "We couldn't do Europe because our fans in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Holland, and all that have been great with us down the years, so we couldn't do that. These ideas start as a little idea. Then the Vegas and Boston gigs were two we were supposed to do last time but we couldn't do them for some reason."

The tour kicks off on May 21 at Glasgow's Celtic Park, concluding five Scotland shows on May 29. The band then returns home for 11 dates at the Etihad Stadium, starting June 4 and wrapping up June 26. After touring Europe and America, they will perform four shows at Knebworth on September 11, 12, 18, and 19.
