Tickets for Oasis’ 2025 reunion shows have now sold out after fans reported that the Ticketmaster website “crashed” due to huge demand and hundreds of thousands more were stuck in online queues for hours.

The Britpop band announced a huge run of comeback gigs on Tuesday (August 27), dubbed Oasis Live ’25. Set to take place next summer, the trek will see Liam and Noel Gallagher perform on stage together for the first time in 16 years.

Concerts were scheduled for Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Dublin’s Croke Park, and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium. Mid-week, extra gigs were confirmed for Manchester, London and Edinburgh in response to “unprecedented demand”.

Tickets for the gigs went on sale this morning at 9am here for (UK), and here (Ireland). Ahead of the sale, fans online reported issues with both Ticketmaster’s main website and the app apparently “crashing” ahead of the sale as they received “503” errors – alongside long queues just to access the site, such was the demand for tickets.

Elsewhere, some fans complained about being kicked out of the queue after being mistaken for bots, while those attempting to purchase accessible tickets reported being unable to get through to the phone lines, despite some fans calling the designated number over 400 times.

The band announced tickets for all dates had officially sold out at 7pm today.

Ticketmaster told NME in a statement: “The queue is moving along as fans buy tickets. As anticipated, millions of fans are accessing our site so have been placed in a queue. Fans are advised to hold their place in line, make sure they’re only using one tab, clear cookies, and ensure they aren’t using any VPN software on their device.”

The Dublin shows sold out fully earlier this afternoon, after going on sale at 8am – an hour earlier than the UK dates.

Ticketmaster outlined its strict rules for purchasing tickets earlier this week – confirming that customers will only be able to order four tickets per household and card. Additionally, Oasis have partnered with resale platform Twickets where fans can buy unwanted tickets for no more than face value (plus booking fees).

Oasis have also warned fans that “people attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market” will have them “cancelled by the promoters” in a bid to combat tickets being sold at inflated prices.

However, many fans were also left frustrated today following Ticketmaster’s controversial dynamic pricing system whilst attempting to buy tickets.

One fan shared their attempt to get tickets to Dublin’s Croke Park show, writing: “In demand standing ticket” is just a standard standing ticket except double the price. No difference between Ticketmaster and touts.” When ticket prices were revealed by pre-sale for Ireland, tickets started at €86.50. However, this fan shared a screenshot showing the tickets were going for €415.50 each.

Ticketmaster have clarified on their website previously that tickets that are “market-priced” “may increase or decrease at any time, based on demand. This is similar to how airline tickets and hotel rooms are sold.” NME has reached out to Ticketmaster for comment.

Ahead of the reunion, the band also unveiled a series of shirts to commemorate the occasion. Alongside their collaboration with Levi’s announced on August 28, two new shirts have been announced exclusively to buy on Amazon Music.

The first is a black tee, with a photo of all five members of Oasis squeezed onto the back of a bus. You can see Noel and Liam at the front, along with Bonehead, Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan and Tony McCaroll visible in the back.

You can also cop a white tee with the band’s debut ‘Definitely Maybe’ and its cover emblazoned on the front in a bold blue colour. It’s most certainly a nod to the 30th anniversary reissue of their seminal album, which dropped yesterday (August 30). Both designs are available to purchase here for £24.
