How to get Oasis tickets - Ultimate guide to presale ballot and Saturday Ticketmaster rush
There are many things you can do to boost your chances of bagging an Oasis reunion 2025 tour ticket - including signing up to the presale ballot before 7pm
The Oasis reunion is set to be the most in-demand tour of the decade - making it extra hard to nab a ticket.
Legendary brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher officially announced on Tuesday that they will hit the road together in 2025 and play their first shows for 16 years. The warring Manchester siblings have put their differences aside to mark their debut album's 30th year, much to the relief of the loyal fans.
In a joint statement, they said: "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised." The shows - in Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin - are expected to be the most sought-after tickets in British music history. But how do you get them? Below is your ultimate survival guide to nabbing tickets as the 'war' begins...
How do I sign up for Oasis pre-sale?
Oasis are giving fans a chance to enter a presale ballot, which is open for just 24 hours. It will close at 7pm tonight (Wednesday, August 28) and gives fans hope of securing tickets. However, along with providing contact details, fans also have to answer a question correctly. They are asked: "Who was the drummer in the initial Oasis line up?"

They are also asked how many times they have seen Oasis perform, but the answer to that question will not bear any weight on ballot eligibility. Those who are successful in the ballot will have early access to try and get tickets for Oasis' dates at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Murrayfield in Edinburgh or Dublin's Croke Park.
The Oasis page said: "Successful applicants will receive an email with full access information the morning of Friday 30th August. Success in the ballot will not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Due to an extremely high volume of entries, confirmation emails may be delayed. Please be assured that everyone who has correctly filled out the ballot form before 7pm Wednesday 28th August will receive the confirmation email."
How do I buy an Oasis ticket?
Fans are desperate for a chance to secure tickets and are bracing for an online battle come Saturday, August 31, when general tickets for the UK leg go on sale at 9am sharp. For the Ireland dates, ticket sale starts at 8am. The digital queue starts online at Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours and See Tickets.
See Tickets state: "Ticket sales are limited to 4 per household, per show. Only tickets purchased through approved agents are valid. The venue reserves the right to refuse admission." While Ticketmaster adds: "There is a ticket limit of 4 tickets per person and per credit card on this event. Please adhere to published ticket limits.
"Persons who exceed the ticket limit may have any or all of their orders and tickets cancelled without notice by Ticketmaster at its discretion. This includes orders associated with the same name, e-mail address, billing address, credit card number or other information." Oasis are yet to reveal their pricing, but it has been reported tickets will be priced over £100.

Top tips for getting Oasis tickets:
- Register an account on the relevant ticket agencies before Saturday - Make sure you have an account set up with the right billing address and delivery information, and that you know the password to log in.
- Verify your account and practise signing in - Don't forget to add your phone number and confirm the one-time passcode, then double-check you can log in before Saturday morning.
- Add your card payment details to your account in advance - Make sure you've got enough money in your account (at least £100 per person) and save your details to avoid scrambling for your card last minute.
- Go to somewhere with a strong internet connection - You should ideally use private WiFi, but if not, choose your mobile data over public WiFi as Ticketmaster says it is "usually the least reliable".
- Update your devices and use your newest appliances - Appliance expert Joshua Houston, from Household Quotes , advises using up-to-date devices as old smartphones or laptops slow down over time.
- Make sure no one else is using the internet in your household - The appliance expert also suggests hogging the WiFi while you try to buy tickets as multiple devices connected to the internet can slow down the speed.
- Turn your WiFi on and off and sit near your router - Joshua's final golden tip is to restart your WiFi equipment to optimise its performance and sit as close to your router as possible to give your device the best internet connection.
- Get onto the site 10 minutes before the tickets are released - At 8.50am, hop onto the Ticketmaster site and then refresh the page 10 seconds before 9am to be in with the best chances of getting to the waiting room.
- Don't refresh the page when you're in a waiting room - Once you're in the waiting room, wait it out and don't refresh the page. Ticketing sites use a queuing system so you'll be pushed further down the line.
- Try using the Ticketmaster app too - According to Radio Times, buying tickets on the app is smoother and quicker than the website, so it's worth trying to get them on your phone at the same time.
How do I spot a fake Oasis ticket?
Selling tickets through unauthorised resale platforms will breach the terms and conditions and tickets may be cancelled. People can also run the risk of being scammed by going through unofficial routes. Scammers will piggyback onto popular events and earlier this year, Lloyds Bank estimated that fans of Taylor Swift had lost more than £1million to ticket scammers ahead of her UK tour.
Liz Ziegler, fraud prevention director at Lloyds Bank, said: "Hot on the heels of Taylor Swift's record-breaking UK tour, fraudsters will be eagerly anticipating another run of sell-out shows next summer. Missing out on these landmark gigs would be devastating for Oasis fans who have waited so long for this reunion.
"But you can be sure that criminals are getting ready to 'slide away' with their hard-earned cash. Most of these scams begin on social media, where impostors create fake profiles to sell non-existent tickets. The simple rule for fans is always stick to official ticketing platforms and avoid deals which look too good to be true."
