Oasis issues warning to US fans as fake tickets seen on resell sites

Oasis has issued a stark warning to US fans after fake tickets surfaced on resell sites hours before the start of the general sale for their USA, Canada and Mexico gigs. 

Tickets for the band's US dates go on sale on Friday - but some lucky fans secured codes for a pre-sale which took place on Thursday.

And just hours after the pre-sale went live, Oasis took to social media to warn fans that fake tickets were already being sold.  

The band wrote: 'Please be aware. Thousands of fake Oasis tickets have already been discovered on Stubhub and Vivid Seats before the North America tour has even gone on sale! 

'@TwicketsUS and @Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan in the US and Canada are the only official resellers.'

Oasis announced four extra dates for the America leg of their reunion tour on Wednesday due to 'phenomenal demand' - including Toronto, East Rutherford, Los Angeles and Mexico City.

The iconic band duo - which includes Liam, 52, and Noel, 57 - announced the news on their official Instagram page on Wednesday.

The legendary group previously teased a new announcement was coming earlier this week, sending fans into overdrive across social media pages.

And now, they have finally lift the lid on the big news. 

'Due to phenomenal demand, additional dates have been announced in Toronto, East Rutherford, Los Angeles and Mexico City!', the caption wrote.

Tickets are set to go on sale at 12pm on livenation.com and ticketmaster.com.

Starting with an extra date in Toronto on August 24 at the iconic Roger Stadium, followed by Chicago on August 28.

Oasis will then touch base in East Rutherford with two dates on August 31 and a new extra date on September 1 - continuing to Los Angeles on September 6 and the extra date on September 7.

Joined by Cage The Elephant as special guests, they will also play in Mexico City with one initial date on September 13 and the newly-added on September 14. 

The British rock band confirmed the tickets for their new five shows in North America will not be subject to dynamic pricing.

The iconic Britpop duo was hit with heaps of backlash after furious fans had to pay a staggering amount to get tickets due to the popularity in the tour.

When Oasis confirmed their 2025 reunion tour, the price of standard tickets doubled from £148 to £355.

Ticketmaster said prices were driven up by surging demand and the policy had been agreed with the band's management, Oasis itself said they were unaware of dynamic pricing would be implemented when tickets initially went on sale.

Now, as they release a handful of new dates, Liam and Noel have agreed to ditch the controversial dynamic pricing to ensure fans are paying a fair price.

Around 14million fans faced eight-hour queues in a bid to get their hands on the highly-sought-after tickets to see the rock band live, with many still missing out. 

In a statement shared across social media on Monday, Oasis promised fans they want not have the same fiasco with dynamic pricing.

It read: 'Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model will not be applied to the forthcoming sale of tickets to Oasis concerts in North America. 

It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable.

'But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans. 

'We have made this decision for the North America tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the UK and Ireland experienced recently.'
