Liam and Noel Gallagher have finally announced that the dream of an Oasis reunion is fantasy no more. The Oasis 2025 Live reunion tour has been confirmed and that means two things: high ticket prices and plenty of opportunity for scammers to fleece the music loving public. Here’s what to watch out for as tickets go on sale.
The highly anticipated and, frankly, surprising news that the Gallagher brothers have agreed to perform again as Oasis, one of the most popular and influential British bands to emerge since The Beatles, has been welcomed by the music press and fans alike. The long awaited tour, the first since the band split in 2009 after eighteen years spearheading the Manchester sound, starts not in their home town but at the Cardiff Principality Stadium on July 4, 2025. Following the July 4 and 5 Cardiff dates, Oasis will play Manchester’s Heaton Park on July 11, 12, 19 and 20. Other tour venues include London Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin’s Croke Park.

The official Oasisnet site tour announcement strongly advises fans wishing to purchase tickets to “register in advance of the sale with the relevant ticket agencies.” Security experts, including those at agencies such as Ticketmaster, have also advised Oasis fans should take the necessary steps to protect themselves from scammers and cybercriminals looking to profit from the inevitable mad scramble for tickets on August 31 as they go on sale.
Ticketmaster Advice For Oasis Fans To Avoid Scammers When Buying Live 25 Reunion Tour Tickets
The official Ticketmaster advice to protect against ticketing scams involves a number of common sense tips. However, when you really want something badly enough, especially when that something is in short supply, common sense can often go out of the window. Please pay attention to these four sage pieces of advice.
- Only buy Oasis Live 25 concert tickets from official sources. According to the official Oasis site, this means Ticketmaster in the UK and Ireland as well as the Gigs and Tours agency. Tickets sold outside of the agencies listed by either the band management itself or the gig venues are to be avoided whether that’s an unofficial platform or individuals and social media sources.
- Never buy any tickets before the official starting date for sales as these will not be legitimate. Ticketmaster does advise that official presales are excluded from this advice, so you do need to keep your head clear about sources if you are offered such things.
- Always check you are actually buying from an official agency, which means double-checking the URL is correct for the site be that on the web or via an official app. Be very careful if clicking through adverts from a search as these can be malicious clones that look convincing with similar addresses. It’s always best to go to the agency site directly.
- Most tickets are smart these days, in the form of a digital ticket on your smartphone. Be very wary of any printed tickets being sold as Ticketmaster warns these can be distributed to multiple buyers for a single ticket. Ticketmaster digital tickets usually have a barcode that refreshes Avery 15 seconds to help people prevent such forgery or theft.
