Liam Gallagher has made his stance clear after fans began claiming that Ticketmaster had cancelled their tickets to the upcoming Oasis gigs.
Some fans have been left gutted as the realisation settles in that they won’t be singing along to the brothers performing ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ this summer.
After the star confirmed last year that he and Noel had finally put their differences aside to reunite Oasis, a nightmare broke out for those trying to see them live.
Fans battled to get tickets with Ticketmaster now being investigated after standard tickets more than doubled in price while they were on sale.

And now, just to top it off, some of those who did manage to cop tickets say they have had their tickets cancelled by the company as they were accused of being bots.
And with around 50,000 orders said to have been cancelled, Liam issued a simple response to complaints.
One fan asked him on Twitter: “Liam what do you think of the ticket situation? Thinking fans are bots and getting their money returned?”
Known for his no-frills responses, the singer wrote back: “I don’t make the rules we’re trying to do the right thing it is what it is I’m the singer get off my case.”

It’s reported that several fans of the ‘Stop Crying Your Heart Out’ band had their dreams ‘crushed’ when they received an email from Ticketmaster claiming bots were identified making their purchase and urged customers to fill out a form to rectify the issue.
Leighah Conroy told PA new agency her friend had purchased their tickets at the end of August last year but had the email on Friday (7 February) claiming it was identified that 'bots were used to make this purchase’.
“To say that we’re bots is totally out of order for Ticketmaster because we tried all day to get the tickets,” she said. “Our heads have been pretty battered these past 24 hours.
“I felt sick in the stomach. It’s a band you’ll never experience or see again and it’s been on my bucket list for years. It just feels like my dreams have been completely crushed.”

Others wrote on Twitter: “I was personally sitting in front of my computer. It could not have been more manual. Flight and hotel all booked. This is not right!”
A spokesperson from Ticketmaster said: “Anyone who has been contacted and believes a refund was made in error has been sent a form to fill in for the tour’s promoters to review.”
LADbible has contacted Ticketmaster for further comment.
