Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has urged fans to stop complaining about the ticket prices for the band’s upcoming 2027 European tour, despite widespread criticism over the high costs. Tickets for the 42-date tour, which will include shows across Scotland, England, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, France, Italy, the United States, and Ireland, went on sale recently, with prices starting at £170.50. VIP packages that include hotel and coach travel can reach up to £571, while some resale tickets have appeared on secondary markets for nearly £3,000.
The pricing has sparked frustration among fans, who have noted the significant increase compared to the band’s earlier performances. One fan pointed out on the social media platform X that they saw Oasis play in Glasgow in 1994 for £6.30, highlighting an inflation rate exceeding 2,500 percent since then. Liam Gallagher responded bluntly, telling fans to “STOP MOANING.” When another user asked about reseller prices, he advised, “Don’t f***ing buy them SIMPLE.”
Despite complaints about affordability, some fans have opted not to purchase tickets even when offered early access codes. One user shared a screenshot of a code confirmation but declined to buy tickets, citing the £170 price as prohibitive.
The band has implemented a staged ticket sale system in the UK, with sales scheduled over several days and access granted through unique codes sent to fans after pre-registration. Oasis has also warned the public about potential scams, urging buyers to be cautious of fraudulent offers and to only trust codes from the official email oasis@openstageit.com.
Demand for the tour has been exceptionally high, prompting Oasis to add four extra shows, including two dates at Knebworth on September 25 and 26. The Hertfordshire venue holds special significance for the band, as they performed two legendary concerts there in August 1996, each attracting over 100,000 attendees.
The reunion tour follows the band’s Live 25 tour last year, which reportedly sold out within minutes and generated an estimated £293 million in revenue. The band had been separated since 2009, with the split reportedly linked to a physical altercation between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher during a festival in France.
However, despite the success, the pricing strategy has drawn criticism. When Oasis announced the reunion tour last year, standard ticket prices more than doubled, rising from £148 to £355. Although the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) investigated the pricing model amid allegations of dynamic pricing, it found no evidence that this method was used. The CMA has, however, instructed Ticketmaster to improve transparency around ticket labeling and pricing disclosures in future sales.
