Oasis Concert Ticket Sales Frustrate Fans with Error Messages
Hundreds of thousands of the Oasis band fans have been refreshing the Ticketmaster UK website and other authorised sites, seeking to buy tickets for the Gallagher Brothers reunion tours. During the rush hours, many of their fans seems to have endured a long wait on the platform to get their tickets but all seem to be in vain, since many have been waiting in a virtual queue since 8am this morning.
As if the resale sites were waiting on the Gallagher Brothers to hold their concerts, within hours, tickets began to be offered on resale websites for as much as 6,000 pounds ($7,800). Oasis issued a warning, saying tickets could only be resold at face value through authorized sites. “Tickets appearing on other secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be cancelled by the promoters,” Oasis confirmed in his post on X.
Many people who made an attempt to purchase their tickets from the authorised sales sites have been getting error messages while others got notified that they were in a very long queue. Some have managed to get the tickets during the presale lottery on Friday. Each ticket cost 74 pounds.
Tickets for the UK tour dates went on general sale at 9am today (Saturday 31 August) and are available from ticketmaster.co.uk, gigsandtours.com, and seetickets.com. Dublin tickets went on sale from 8am the same day from www.ticketmaster.ie.
The Britpop tour led by the Gallagher Brothers is scheduled to play 17 gigs, which was their first show after a decade and five years in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin starting July 4. Announcing the reunion, the band said fans would experience “the spark and intensity” that occurs only when they appear on stage together.
Following the error messages and the extorbitant prices of tickets, here are a few angry reactions from concerned netizens; .
Scott Rowland reacted “Last #oasis / #Ticketmaster post from me…
Joined the queue at 08:25… got onto the site approx at 10:30… 260,000 people in front of me in the queue… (was not realistically expecting to get tickets)… hung in there until 16:10 to get to front of queue… then this…”
Drew Bower reacted “#Ticketmaster #Oasis What’s the point of putting people in a queue if you then dump them on this confirming availability screen for over 90 minutes and let others buy tickets who were miles behind?”
The Ok Gatsby “Ticketmaster is a joke. Joined the queue for the queue at 8 to enjoy server crashes, error pages, boot outs for being a bot, more crashes and, when I finally get in SEVEN HOURS later, I can’t buy any (extortionately price-hiked) #Oasis tickets as the check out page won’t load.”..
Ashleigh also commented “Been waiting since half 8 to get on the website and get tickets, only to finally get in and ticket master are now charging more than double the original price😭🤣 sort your shit out @TicketmasterUK scamming bastards #Ticketmaster #Oasis25”
As it stands, fans are showing their anger through screenshots towards the Oasis band and ticket master. Let’s hope that something is done about the error messages so everyone can get a real feeling of watching the Gallagher Brothers.
