Oasis have issued a warning against reselling tickets to their comeback tour, after some were listed for thousands of pounds within minutes of a pre-sale. A limited number of fans were able to buy the first batch of tickets during a three-hour window on Friday evening. Shortly after, tickets were being listed online for more than £6,000 - around 40 times the face value of a standing ticket. Oasis urged people not to resell tickets at higher prices on websites not linked to their promoter, and said they would be "cancelled". General ticket sales opened in Ireland at 08:00 BST, with UK dates available from 09:00.

Ticket-selling websites are experiencing issues on Saturday morning as the band’s reunion tour goes on general sale. Manchester-based promoter SJM Concerts’ website Gigs and Tours is unable to load since around 8.10am. It displays messages saying: “service unavailable” and “the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later”, PA Media reports. Similar issues were encountered on the ticketmaster.ie page for the two shows at Dublin Croke Park shows, 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. A similar code was visible at gigsinscotland.com/artist/oasis as Scottish fans had difficulties getting onto the website for the Edinburgh shows.

Last night the lucky few who managed to get a successful pre-sale code battled to see the 90s group as the first tickets went on sale at 7pm. The 1996 Oasis gigs at Knebworth saw the largest ever demand for gig tickets in UK history. But within minutes of the permits going live they were being flogged for more than £10,000 by touts - with experts finding 80 tickets hoping to make a staggering £200,000 up for sale within 20 minutes of the presale. Today's passes for next summer's shows in the UK go live at 9am - with bookmakers putting the odds of landing one of the 1.4million tickets at just 14/1. This means desperate fans only have a seven per cent chance of confirming their place at a gig, according to Betfair. Mobile Network Three has estimated that a staggering 36.2 million devices will tune in to the Oasis sale this morning, with each fan trying their luck on an average of 2.6 devices to maximise their chances.

Tickets that were sold in the pre-sale are now being flogged for well over £6,000 each for the gig at London's Wembley Stadium. Others, for hospitality clubs, can be found at a stunning £10,578 for two people. This is despite the most expensive ticket initially being up for grabs for £506.25 - with gigs in the capital starting at £74.25.

The band last night added their condemnation as they blasted the brazen money-grabbers - saying that their tickets will be canceled by promoters. Posting on X, they 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 canceled by the promoters.'
Speaking to MailOnline, Adam Webb of FanFair Alliance - a group opposing 'industrial scale' secondary ticketing -said: 'Within 20 minutes of tonight's Oasis pre-sale, we found individual touts listing up to 80 tickets each on viagogo - hoping to make eye-watering profits of almost £200,000. This is money being gouged from fans, syphoned away from the UK economy, and washed through the coffers of overseas websites. This kind of consumer exploitation can only be reigned in by the Government. The only solution is to outlaw resale of tickets for profit.'
A consumer law expert further warned against buying up resell tickets - saying that even those that are not scams could be cancelled. Lisa Webb, of Which?, said: 'Oasis fans are understandably eager to snap up tickets to the reunion tour, but we'd strongly advise against buying any of the resale tickets currently popping up online at inflated prices. Not only is there a chance that some of these listings could be scam attempts, but even legitimate tickets could be cancelled, rendering them invalid, if they are sold outside of the official resale platforms or at above face value. Resale tickets should only be listed on the official resale platforms, Twickets or Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan exchange, and at no more than the price that was paid (its face value plus booking fees) originally. If you buy through the official seller you'll be entitled to a refund if the show is cancelled but if you buy through a secondary ticket seller, you may not get your money back. We'd also recommend paying using your credit card if the tickets cost more than £100, or by PayPal, which also offers an extra layer of protection provided you choose 'paying for an item or service' rather than 'sending to a friend.'
Tickets on Stubhub are being sold for more than £6,300 - while others on Viagogo appear to be up for grabs thousands of pounds. Oasis posted that tickets were on sale at 8am.

Heartbreaking to see Oasis tickets being sold at multiples of the face value before they've even gone on general sale.' Liam and Noel Gallagher confirmed Oasis's long-awaited reunion with a worldwide tour in 2025 on Tuesday, saying: 'The great wait is over.' The Britpop band, who split nearly 15 years ago and released their chart-topping album Definitely Maybe around three decades ago, announced the series of dates will kick off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. Noel, 57, quit the Manchester rock group on August 28 2009, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer'. Fans have been pleading with the brothers to regroup since they disbanded, prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Superfan Peter Davies, 30, celebrated his win after securing four tickets for the opening night at Wembley for £600 - after joining the queue at number 1,051. A previous attendee at both Liam and Noel's gigs alongside the last Oasis tour, he battled against website glitches to get the prized passes. Speaking about his reaction, he told MailOnline: 'It was relief, at first, if I am honest. Then it dawned on me that I am actually going to go see Oasis at Wembley. All week we prepared for this. I spoke with family and friends to tactically plan for how we were going to try for different dates, then seeing if one of us got a code, how many tickets we would get and where in the stadium. I was the only one who got a presale code so it made it a lot easier to go for one date. I am looking forward to seeing an iconic and historical moment with my family – we've all grown up loving Oasis and it's going to be something we're going to talk about for years. It's also going to be the first time my sister and girlfriend see Oasis live, so I look forward to seeing their reactions.'
Another, Camilla Polson, was delighted to secure tickets to the opening night of the tour in Cardiff. She said: 'Securing Oasis tickets is one of the greatest moments of my life. The iconic songs with the crowd singing along, it's easy to imagine how powerful that experience is going to be. There's something truly unique about being in a sea of fans who all share the same passion for the music. Having everyone eagerly anticipating the first chords of those iconic songs, will be absolutely thrilling. I'm sure it will be an experience I'll remember for a lifetime. I can't wait to be at the opening night of the tour in Cardiff!'
