Oasis fans who missed out on tickets for the band’s upcoming shows are facing reselling prices soaring to nearly £5,000. The invite-only concerts were scheduled for September 27 and 28, 2025 at London’s Wembley Stadium, following initial sale issues. Oasis, reuniting with Liam and Noel Gallagher, attributed the problems to “dynamic pricing” on Ticketmaster, leading to tickets being listed at over double the original price due to “unprecedented demand.”
Those fortunate to obtain a code had the chance to purchase tickets on a first-come, first-served basis for the Wembley dates last Saturday. Subsequently, resale platforms like Viagogo and StubHub have advertised tickets at extortionate rates, ranging from £596 to £4,820 for standing tickets. While the original sale price was £151.25 for standing tickets, premium packages, including VIP passes at £2,614, are also on offer.
Regarding the situation, Viagogo has defended its lawful reselling practices, emphasizing its commitment to ensuring fans receive their tickets on time with a money-back guarantee. Yet, the controversy surrounding the earlier sale prompted government and competition watchdog reviews into dynamic pricing practices. Oasis, StubHub, and Viagogo have been approached for comment on the matter.
Viagogo’s global managing director, Cris Miller, maintains that transparent pricing beyond the initial sale surge benefits consumers, citing examples like Taylor Swift tickets selling for as low as £80 this summer. These developments underscore the ongoing challenges faced by fans in accessing tickets through legitimate means amid high demand for live entertainment events.
