Oasis is canceling around 50,000 tickets for its UK tour dates that were resold on secondary sites such as StubHub and Viagogo.

The band's tour promoters are canceling tickets resold through unofficial secondary sites to stop price gouging, a spokesperson for Live Nation and SJM, the Oasis tour promoters, told CNN.

Oasis fans are the latest to address the problem of ticket sellers buying tickets at face value and reselling them for a profit. The practice has captivated and angered fans of all stripes from Taylor Swift to Coldplay, and has become the rare issue in Washington on which lawmakers from both parties can agree.

Oasis, which dominated radio in the 90s, has not performed since 2009, when a row between feuding brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher led to its split. The band's reunion tour was announced in August, and its popularity has brought renewed attention to frustrations over ticket access and the fact that fans are being denied tickets to major concerts.

When tickets for Oasis' UK and Ireland reunion tour went live in August, some fans took to social media to complain about rising prices, long wait times and even a complete failure to purchase tickets. According to Live Nation, 1.4 million tickets were available and 10 million fans from 158 countries vied to purchase them.

Given the huge demand and limited supply, the tickets were immediately relisted on secondary websites at inflated prices. CNN saw ticket prices as high as $7,294 for the Oasis tour on Viagogo, a secondary market for ticket sales.

The resale of tickets on secondary websites violated the terms and conditions of the Oasis tour, a spokesperson for Live Nation and SJM told CNN. Canceled tickets will be made available at face value on Ticketmaster, which is owned by Live Nation and is the designated site for Oasis tickets.

When tickets for the UK and Ireland tour were released in August, fans were informed that they could purchase and resell tickets from Ticketmaster or Twickets, the official resale partner. However, about 4% of tickets were purchased and resold on unofficial secondary sites such as Viagogo, totaling about 50,000 tickets, a spokesman for Live Nation and SJM said.

Restrictions on the resale of tickets on unofficial secondary sites have been introduced to prevent resellers from taking advantage of fans, the spokesman said.

The full amount will be refunded for canceled tickets. If fans believe their tickets have been canceled in error, they may contact their designated ticket agent to investigate the matter.

“All parties involved in the tour continue to urge fans not to purchase tickets on unauthorized websites as some may be fraudulent and others may be canceled,” the spokesperson told CNN. “If fans wish to sell Oasis tickets, they can do so at face value through Ticketmaster or the band’s official resale partner, Twickets.”

The resale of concert tickets is legal in the UK, provided they were purchased legally in the first place, and there are protections in place for consumers. Some websites such as Viagogo intend to continue to allow the resale of Oasis tickets.

“We want to reassure fans who purchase tickets on Viagogo that we are in full compliance with the laws and guidelines of relevant regulatory authorities,” a Viagogo spokesperson told CNN. “Threats from event organizers to cancel tickets are unfairly targeted at fans who have chosen to purchase on a safe, transparent and highly regulated resale market. Such actions are clear examples of anti-consumer and retaliatory behavior.”

The Oasis Live '25 Tour begins on July 4, 2025 with a series of shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin.

The North American leg of the Oasis tour begins August 24, 2025 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Ontario. Subsequent concerts are planned in Chicago, East Rutherford, New Jersey, Los Angeles and Mexico City.
