Tickets for the huge Oasis reunion tour will go on sale today, with potentially millions of fans eagerly trying to snap up a chance to see the Gallagher brothers back together.

The band will be performing together for the first time in 15 years next summer, with 17 massive shows across the UK and Ireland announced.

The 2025 Oasis tour includes five gigs at Heaton Park in Manchester, as well as concerts in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Dublin.

General sale tickets will go live at 9am today, Saturday 31 August, and we’ll be bringing you live updates throughout the morning.

This writer here will be one of many in the queue for Manchester Oasis tickets, so some multi-tasking is about to go down.

LIVE updates as Oasis tickets go on sale in Manchester

14:53 – FIRST SHOWS SOLD OUT

The first shows are now starting to sell out, which has taken quite a long time considering how great the demand is.

There are rumblings of extra dates but nothing concrete just yet.

13:36 – This is WILDLY annoying

Well, reader, I finally got to the front of the Ticketmaster queue only to be stung by the ‘In Demand’ ticket nonsense.

Refuse to pay that much on principal when those exact tickets were £148.50 this morning. Fuming.

13:30 – Honestly kids, you had to be there

13:09 – Wow there are a lot of unhappy fans out there over this In Demand pricing…

12:56 – Standard standing tickets for Oasis in Manchester are now £355

Ticketmaster has suddenly introduced ‘in demand’ tickets – and they are EXPENSIVE.

Read more here.

12:28 – See Tickets and Gigs and Tours update

Both websites have been out of action almost all morning but are suddenly up and running again – but yes, you will get stuck in a new queue.

Check it out here.

11:55 – Losing hope now with this new Ticketmaster update

“Tickets are still available, but inventory is now limited and not all ticket prices are available.”

11:52 – Has ANYONE got through to See Tickets!?

11:44 – What was life like before the Oasis queue, I can’t really remember now

11:22 – I have no updates. Still queueing.

11:08 – Another ticket update from Ticketmaster!

“Tickets are available for all dates, so please continue to hold your place in the queue.”

10:59 – Coming up to two hours now friends. Ouch.

10:50 – Things you could’ve done while you’ve been sat in the queue for Oasis tickets

  • Watched all of Kill Bill V1
  • Done a full hot wash
  • Run a fairly quick half marathon
  • Flown from Manchester to Geneva
  • Cooked a roast dinner for breakfast

10:41 – Lol

10:39 – Poor See Tickets, she really is struggling

10:37 – At least the memes are good

10:36 – Neil is evil

10:34 – What’s everyone having for their tea then?

This queue is moving SO slowly – I’ve only moved 10,000 people in the last 45 minutes. Someone fetch snacks.

10:24 – Sorry for the radio silence

Took a small break from live blogging to make a cup of tea and lose the will to live.

We’re back, we’re still queueing, let’s go!

10:00 – Tickets ARE still available for all dates!

Major update for those of us in the Ticketmaster queue!

“The queue for Oasis is moving along as fans checkout. Tickets are still available for all dates so please hold your place in line.”

KEEP GOING EVERYONE

09:53 – U okay See Tickets?

While I’m finding a lot of people have at least got through to some sort of Ticketmaster queue, I can’t even get the See Tickets website to load.

Just imagining the See Tickets servers being crushed under the weight of parkas and bucket hats running at them this morning.

09:52 – Never seen an on-sale like it (and I survived The Eras Tour war)

This has been the longest, craziest queue I’ve ever seen for gig tickets – anyone got one that tops it?

Pretty much the only updates we’re waiting for now is the confirmation that it’s sold out, which we presume it has, OR extra dates being announced.

They’ve got some juicy gaps in between their shows so there’s definitely room in the tour for more gigs.

09:50 – Oasis have put out another statement about touts

“Please note, Oasis Live ‘25 tickets can only be resold at face value via @TicketmasterUK and @Twickets! Tickets appearing on other secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be cancelled by the promoters.”

09:49 – If we don’t laugh we’ll cry

09:39 – Very likely that all shows are now sold out

A few people on X are sharing that they’ve got through the queues only to find that Oasis tickets are all sold out, including all five Manchester gigs.

Reportedly still a handful in Edinburgh but nearly everything else is gone.

09:32 – Update from Ticketmaster

“As expected, Oasis is incredibly popular. We’re processing orders as quickly as possible so please keep your place in line.”

09:29 – Some Oasis Heaton Park nostalgia to keep you going

09:27 – Still dealing with a LOT of crashing websites out there

09:21 – Moment of truth…

09:18 – It’s not looking good guys

Just got this from the Ticketmaster app, so it’s looking like things are selling out already.

09:15 – The situation on the Ticketmaster app…

Finally got out of the queue and into the virtual ‘lobby’, where you can join the actual queue for tickets.

But the site crashes every time I try to join the queue. This is hard work.

09:13 – This sounds quite nice to be fair

09:07 – An update on re-selling tickets from Oasis

Oasis have just put this out as a word of warning to anyone thinking of buying Oasis tickets and selling them on for a fortune: “Please note, Oasis Live ‘25 tickets can only be resold at face value via @Ticketmaster and @Twickets!

“Tickets appearing on other secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be cancelled by the promoters.”

So that’s a bit reassuring. Down with ticket touts.

09:05 – Crashing issues everywhere

A lot of people have reported getting through the dreaded Ticketmaster queue only to have the website crash on them.

Keep trying everyone!

09:03 – Anyone else still queueing just to join the actual queue? This is a very British experience

09:01 – Oh dear

The Ticketmaster app has immediately crashed for me and I’m still in a queue on everything else. Aaaaaahhhhhhhh.

09:00 – Oasis tickets are ON SALE

Tickets are now LIVE – good luck everyone, you can try to buy yours from Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours, and See Tickets.

08:56 – Updates from Ireland

Tickets for the Dublin shows went on sale an hour before the UK shows, and the queues are looking WILD – almost half a million people trying to buy tickets for just two gigs.

08:55 – 5 minute countdown and staring longingly at the original Oasis reunion post

08:50 – 10 minutes until Oasis tickets go on sale

Just a reminder – there’s a limit of four tickets per person if you do manage to ever get out of this queue.

Tickets cost £148.50 each for the Oasis gigs in Heaton Park, but if you go for a different city there’s a bigger mix of prices available.

Going back to being stressed now.

08:45 – 15 minute warning!

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

That’s all.

08:43 – Why is this so stressful?

As someone who is actually trying to buy Oasis tickets too, I’m right there with the rest of you in the digital battleground.

Now in a queue on Ticketmaster (on the website AND the app) but See Tickets and Gigs and Tours still won’t let me in. Just let me in, please?

It feels like the Manchester Oasis shows might be in more demand than any others, as the chance to see them playing in their home city is pretty monumental.

08:35 – Essential advice from Oasis themselves

Yesterday, Oasis helpfully gave a word of advice for anyone hoping to get tickets today, especially for their Manchester shows.

They posted: “It’s essential that you have an account and are logged in with the relevant ticketing agencies ahead of the general sale.”

30 minutes to go…

Off to a flying start this morning with See Tickets, Ticketmaster AND Gigs and Tours all briefly crashing.

Many of us will now be sat in a virtual queue on Ticketmaster, which is saying: “Many fans are currently using our site, so you have been placed in a queue. When it’s your turn, you will automatically be able to browse events and shop for tickets. Thank you for your patience.”

Meanwhile I’ve got See Tickets and Gigs and Tours trying to refresh themselves every five seconds, to no avail.

How many devices are we all using, I wonder? I’ve got three on the go.
