The ex has already been paid - Noel might be poorer but certainly isn't poor... This is simply the economics of touring - it's a lucrative business and the one surefire way to make a stack of cash.
I think there will be graded standing tickets for different areas starting at £90 rear sections to £150 central section, £anybody's guess for golden circle front stage tickets; seats £150 - £500. Boxes - at the mercy of the seller. These are my guesses for Wembley, not based on anything other than market prices for other gigs.

Well, if it is purely motivated by the finances, I feel for the insurer.
Because if they’ve not gotten back together because they have genuinely made up and want to play together, they’ll probably fall out and call the whole thing off half way through the tour.
I’d suggest booking the earliest date you can!

I’d suggest booking the earliest date you can! I wouldn't be surprised if there is a clause in the contract that they call it off, they have to pay back the promoter a hefty fine. Moreso for Liam than Noel. |

I'd like to see them, but I'm not cramming in with loads of people. I'm not a student anymore. If there's an equivalent of the Royal Circle where I can sit at the front and actually see, I'll happily pay extra for it. I don't want to stand, and I don't want a seated section where other people are going to stand anyway. So best I can look for is front of a seated section. Which basically means I won't be going because those will go straight away! At the end of the day, they’re playing stadiums and parks, there won’t be any seats in front of the stage and and those closest to the stage will have a big gap between the front rows and the stage (where the audience will be stood): the boxes will be a lot higher up and full of idiots in their phones to tell everyone in their contacts that they’re seeing Oasis, wasting small fortunes on something they won’t even be paying attention to. |

I never managed a ticket for Knebworth back in the day, although the other half did and said it was one of the best gigs they’d ever been at.
I’ll try and get tickets for this, it will need to be sitting though so I’m dreading how much that’s going to cast me. My youngest has already started hinting that they’d like to go as well, we watch old TOTP together and BBC4 are currently at 1996 so peak BritPop era.

Ahhhh! Who has spoilt the thread talking about a popular pop combo instead of the flavours of the drink?

An era defining band with some of my all-time favourite songs. Zero interest in seeing them though. Best left in the 90s, along with the hordes of middle aged ‘lads’ that’ll be reliving their FHM reading youths in the crowds.

I saw them at Wembley in 2009. Was a great gig for a 19 year old at the time, but don't feel the FOMO pull to see them again. I remember it being the first time I had seen people throwing their pints around for fun! Not sure that was ale… |

Genuinely hope that for those who want to go, you all get tickets and it is as epic as you want it to be. For me, Liam Gallagher is one personality that I intend to make sure never gets a penny of my money through record sales or concert tickets. I like some of their music but I can’t get past him. Happy to leave this to the many thousands who disagree and will have a great time.

Anyone else sign for the pre-sale ballot? I was contemplating going for one of the Dublin shows, but all the hotels in Dublin are either fully booked a year in advance or have whacked the prices up to silly levels, so I will stick to looking at the Wembley shows (Heaton Park looks like it is in the arse end of nowhere so I’ll give that a miss too)

Family had a heated discussion about tix I didn't participate in. I'm not their biggest fan. But the situation is certainly bonkers!
Also I quite like the Summer Fruits flavour.

I'll be trying London, my sister Dublin. She'll have an hour head start for the Croker tickets, so hoping can let me know before London goes on sale. The last time I was in there for a gig, there was a flyover with the tricolour while U2 played Where The Streets Have No Name, can't see the Gallagher’s topping that.
Though to be fair, support that evening was Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds who were pretty good and did a few Oasis tunes.

Will be trying for Wembley tix with zero expectation of any success. Gonna be the luck of the draw for queue positions.

I’ve seen Liam sing live before. Trust me, I’ve seen Oasis tribute bands that sound more like Oasis and that’s not even a joke. Save your money on this one.

All three Edinburgh dates, set for 8, 9 and now also 12 August, arranged during the Edinburgh Fringe, when the accommodation situation in terms of both availability and affordability is already at breaking point. The timing could hardly be any worse for both artists and audiences going to the festival or those heading to Murrayfield for the concerts.

Apparently £151 for a standing ticket, £216 for ‘premium standing and £456 for a ‘pre show party and exhibition fan package’ which sounds like will be its own bar area and a load of vintage junk in a glass case but I’ll pass on that one.
Seats wise, they range from £74 which will almost certainly be up in the roof somewhere in various increments up to £206.

Compared to a WE show

They saying that tickets are available on resale sites for £6k each, indeed Champagne Supernova, so what are my chances of getting a day ticket?
I’m being facetious btw.

Well, the free for all approach turned into chaos and basically everything crashed, and huge queues on Ticketmaster. Lots of frustrated people on social media.

The contagion spread to See Tickets, which I was trying to use for a completely unrelated booking.

I opened the Ticketmaster app at 8.15, when ticket sales went live it let me straight in, no queue but whatever tickets I chose, I got an error message and after 20 minutes of getting that, I got thrown out and when I logged back in there were 250000 people in front of me and after that moving nowhere after half an hour, I left it, don’t want to waste my weekend in online queues : not sure why there has been such a frenzy of people HAVING to see Oasis (and taking the whole family with them by the sound of things), I’m sure I can find something else to do next year.

The Oasis ticketing experience has highlighted the nefarious dark art of dynamic pricing to the wider mass audience, only this time it's Ticketmaster, not ATG. It is an outrageous practice and maybe now something may be done about it.
On a different note, I was lucky enough to get the pre-sale ballot and managed to nab Oasis tickets for Dublin for relatively non rip-off prices.

I read that the standing tickets previously £150 had become in demand standing priced at £350.

Everyone on X is up on arms about about Ticketmaster and hiking up the prices after tickets have gone on sale.
I might be wrong but aren't Ticketmaster just the retail outlet for the tickets and, although they charge a massive booking fee, they don't set the ticket prices. Isn't that the producers of the concert. So shouldn't the complaints be aimed at the producers or the group?
