Oasis issues warning after presale tickets for Edinburgh shows being resold for thousands

Oasis has issued a warning against reselling tickets to their reunion shows as their presale event kicks off.

Fans rejoiced as the band announced they would be reuniting 15 years after their turbulent break-up.

Accompanied with the caption, “This is it, this is happening”, the band’s official social media announced 14 dates for during summer 2025 on Tuesday.

The announcement included two shows in Edinburgh which was increased to three due to “unprecedented” demand.

A ballot was opened on Tuesday evening for fans to be in with a chance to get tickets during the presale event which went live on Friday.

Only a select number of fans were selected in the ballot which the band said they received “an unprecedented volume” of entries to.

Just minutes after the pre-sale event kicked off, tickets to their shows had already hit the resale market for thousands.

Oasis tickets for Wembley Stadium are listed on Viagogo for up to £5,909 while some tickets at the London venue, listed as “Hospitality Club”, are on sale for £10,578 on StubHub.

One reselling website had a single standing ticket for a show in Edinburgh listed at £1,090.

According to Manchester-based promoter SJM Concerts, which runs the website Gigs And Tours, some of the cheapest seats available are Cardiff’s Principality Stadium shows, which will set you back £73, and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium at £74.

Standing tickets at Wembley will cost fans £151.25, with the same tickets in Cardiff and Edinburgh slightly cheaper at £150 and £151 respectively.

Oasis was forced to release a statement warning fans against reselling tickets for a profit and breaching the terms and conditions of the sale.

Terms and conditions on the band’s website continued: “Selling tickets through unauthorised resale platforms will breach these T&Cs and those tickets may be cancelled.”

The band’s promoters previously warned that tickets purchased at inflated prices from unauthorised platforms “may be cancelled”.

The band shared a statement on Friday that read: “We have noticed people attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market since the start of the pre-sale.
