Oasis fans erupted with fury as they learnt that the two extra 2025 tour dates announced by the Gallagher brothers this afternoon will be at London’s Wembley Arena, where they are already playing multiple shows.
Fans of the 1990s Britpop icons are also angry that they splashed out on expensive tickets in the first sale, only to find that more will be released – and perhaps at cheaper prices. Hopefuls took to Twitter pleading for more shows in the band’s home city of Manchester instead.
They also called for “dynamic pricing” to be scrapped, after it led to some paying several hundred pounds per ticket in their desperation not to miss out while waiting tensely in the virtual queue. “What about Ireland??” one quizzed, while another begged: “Please release two more dates at [Manchester’s] Heaton Park.”
A third chimed in: “What about Manchester?!!”A fourth was unhappy no matter what the location, groaning: “Oh great, another chance to play ‘who can starve longer without selling their kidney for a ticket’ game. Count me in!”
Another fan pointed out that the type of sale promised by the Gallagher brothers in their tweet meant the sky high prices wouldn’t happen this time round. “For anyone wondering, a staggered sale means very little queuing and no dynamic pricing,” they insisted.
However, this caused even more fury among those who’d waited several hours in the queue last week only to be quoted huge prices due to “high demand”. Meanwhile, one man complained: “F**k just got one the other night at Viagogo for one of the previously announced Wembley gigs, £2580 I paid incl fees.”
Another also fuming about the original ticket prices wrote: “It’s disgraceful to see standing tickets priced at £355.20—pure exploitation.
“They should be ashamed, turning fan excitement into a money grab. This greed is ruining what should be a joyful experience.”
One didn’t hold out much hope for the next batch of ticket sales either, sarcastically quipping: “Can’t wait to lose out again.”
The furore comes after Oasis took to the band’s Twitter to make the announcement about the new shows.
“Two extra Wembley Stadium shows have been added due to phenomenal demand,” their post wrote.
“Tickets will be sold by a staggered, invitation-only ballot process.
“Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many UK fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on sale with Ticketmaster. More details to follow.”
Oasis previously caused a storm by revealing they were reuniting following a 15-year feud many had feared would never end.
