Law expert says Oasis fans ‘may not get money back’ after ticket news

A law expert has cautioned Oasis fans that they may not be able to get their money back after purchasing tickets for the band’s reunion tour. Consumer champion Which? issued a warning about potential scams surrounding the final tickets for Oasis’ upcoming shows. The band had previously stated that tickets bought from unofficial resale platforms could be invalidated. Lisa Webb, a consumer law expert at Which?, advised against purchasing resale tickets at inflated prices online, as they could be fraudulent or cancelled if not bought through official channels.

Resale tickets should only be listed on authorised platforms such as Twickets or Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan exchange, and should not exceed the original price paid (face value plus booking fees). Buying tickets from secondary sellers may not guarantee a refund in case of event cancellation. Using a credit card for purchases over £100 or PayPal with buyer protection is recommended. Viagogo and StubHub, along with social media sites, have seen listings for Oasis tickets at significantly higher prices shortly after the official sales began on Ticketmaster.

Tickets for the Wembley shows in September 2025 were being resold for prices ranging from £596 to £4,820, compared to the original price of £151.25. Ticketmaster and Twickets are the recommended resale platforms by Oasis, while Viagogo defended its reselling practices as legal. Oasis’ decision to caution fans about purchasing tickets through unofficial channels aims to protect consumers from potential scams and ticket invalidation. Fans are urged to be cautious and ensure they buy tickets through authorised sellers to avoid losing money on invalid tickets.
