Oasis ticket update: Band's 't

Oasis are rumoured to have more news on the way that will prove relief to the many fans angered by the ticket chaos of Saturday's general sale for their comeback tour.

The Britpop legends' fans scrambled to get tickets to the 'Oasis Live '25' tour over the weekend, with masses left waiting in lengthy queues before being told all dates were sold-out on Saturday evening.

Frustrated fans complained they had waited for several hours for the chance to snap up the tickets - only to be kicked out by sale sites believing they were 'bots' at the last hurdle. While other fans complained of being unable to make it past long online queue lines, despite logging in to sale sites ahead of time.

Others were left furious at getting to the front of the queue to find that tickets were longer at the advertised price, but had doubled in cost due to 'ticket surcharging', as demand for the Gallagher brothers return soared. The widespread anger has led many to call for a complete revamp of concert ticket sales in the UK and Ireland.

Liam and Noel are now said to be considering adding more dates to their comeback tour after so many fans were left ticketless. The band are discussing extending the jaunt to make more fans happy.

A source said: "Millions of Oasis fans will be feeling incredibly disappointed today.

“Noel and Liam [Gallagher] are weighing up whether they can feasibly do more date. Next year’s reunion tour is for their fans and they want to make them happy," they told The Sun.

In a statement last night following the ticket sales the band confirmed: "Plans are underway for OASIS LIVE ’25 to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year," but UK and Ireland fans are desperate for the news of more concerts closer to home after missing out this weekend.

While another insider has claimed there is even the potential for new Oasis music - if Noel can persuade his sibling to add his vocals to some new tunes he's been working on.

The source said: “Noel knows the reunion is about the hits but he doesn’t want them to be purely a nostalgia act. He has the tunes ready to go and if things continue to work well with Liam then it could be absolutely amazing.”

The brothers surprised fans with news of their return after 15 years of feuding and being estranged ever since a backstage brawl between the pair at their final concert in Paris in 2009.

Noel and Liam could be set to rake in even more millions - as they are said to have been offered big bucks to make a film out of their reunion.

The siblings will be back onstage together for the first time at the Cardiff Principality Stadium on July 4, and it's said the likes of Apple, Netflix and Prime Video are in a fierce bidding war to try and get the frontman and guitarist to allow cameras to document their hotly anticipated return.

A source said earlier this week: “Noel and Liam’s teams have been inundated with offers from production companies, who are desperate to secure the rights to a documentary.

“A dedicated team over at Apple have met to discuss the bid they are putting forward, and companies who work with Netflix and Prime Video are doing the same.

“The Oasis reunion is the biggest music story of recent times and to have access to Noel and Liam would be a huge coup. To see the brothers coming together again and putting their bitter split behind them would make for sensational viewing. The offers being tabled run into their millions.”
