Oasis fans furious after Ticketmaster 'suspends' accounts while trying to get tour tickets
Oasis fans have been left devastated as Ticketmaster appears to 'suspend' accounts of users desperately trying to get themselves tickets.
After 15 years and countless prayers the day is finally here, as Oasis fans up and down the country rose early and fired up their laptops in hopes of securing themselves tickets to see the Britpop legends - only to be met with crashed websites and error messages.
Demand has been so high for tickets that users attempting to access the sale through Ticketmaster have even had their accounts 'suspended' by the website.

Sharing their frustrations on social media, one devastated fan wrote: "Ticketmaster suspended my session saying they thought I was a bot. Been logged on since 8am - gutted."
"Session been suspended on Ticketmaster app as they thought I was a bot," a second tweeted, while a third added: "Between getting suspended due to being a suspected bot and the site completely crashing its fair to say I didn't get oasis tickets."
Fans hoping to secure tickets through other websites have also been met with issues, with phrases such as 'crashed', 'shambles' and 'gutted' all trending on X at the time of writing.
Several fans have even bemoaned the online process for getting tickets entirely, with one fan writing: "There aren't enough words to articulate just how much I utterly loathe the ticket buying processes of modern times. Bring back queuing at the box office."
What advice has Ticketmaster given to fans looking to get tickets?
In the run up to tickets going on general sale, the website shared tips on how fans could give themselves the best chance at securing tickets, writing on X: "Please clear your cache/cookies and ensure you aren't using any VPN software on your device/WiFi.
"If this doesn't help, please try using a different browser/device or using mobile data instead of WiFi. Thanks!"
The message follows previous advice from Ticketmaster urging everyone to register for accounts in advance in order to secure tickets.
This isn't the first time the site has struggled to deal with demand for popular shows, with fans hoping to secure tickets to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour facing the same issues last year.
Ticketmaster has since responded to the reports with further advice for fans, telling LADbible: "The queue is moving along as fans buy tickets. As anticipated, millions of fans are accessing our site so have been placed in a queue.
"Fans are advised to hold their place in line, make sure they're only using one tab, clear cookies, and ensure they aren't using any VPN software on their device."
Meanwhile, Oasis has also put out a stern warning for resellers looking to capitalise off fans' misery by charging them inflated prices for tickets.
Following reports of tickets reselling at extortionate prices, the band put out a statement online which reads: "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."
