Oasis fans have been left completely baffled after seeing tickets being sold for inflated 'in demand' prices on websites such as Ticketmaster.

Picture this, after spending hours refreshing crashed webpages and sitting in online queues you finally make it through to the checkout for Oasis tickets... only to find that prices have now been inflated, with some going for over double their initial price.

This is exactly what's happened for hundreds of fans in the past couple of hours as they desperately tried to secure tickets through sites such as Ticketmaster, with many taking to social media to share their frustrations.

After all, it isn't a very rock 'n' roll move.

"That feeling when you wait in a queue for four hours only to be told the price of the ticket has risen from £148 to... £355??? Because they're 'in demand'," one person tweeted, while a second added: "Can anyone clarify what an ‘In Demand Standing Ticket’ is? Is it just pure and simple price gouging because the demand for Oasis tickets is so high?"

"Anyone still in queues for oasis I've just got through after being in a queue since 8am, only in demand standing tickets that Ticketmaster have upped the price to £355 left," a third fan fumed.


What are 'in demand' tickets?

After being approached by LADbible for comment, a representative for Ticketmaster explained that the site doesn't set the prices for tickets and redirected us to an explainer webpage for 'in demand' and 'platinum' tickets. The page adds that 'promoters and artists set ticket prices and 'prices can be either fixed or market-based', with the latter including the options for 'in demand' prices.

The page also states that 'in demand' and 'platinum' tickets are not part of a package and don't come with any extras.

Fans up and down the country have been faced with lengthy waits as they scrambled to get tickets, with several people revealing online that they've been waiting in queues for several hours as platforms work to deal with the increased demand.

Ticketmaster has also issued fans with advice on how to give themselves the best chance of getting through on their website, saying: "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 the band shared a stern warning to anyone with tickets looking to make a profit in the resale market, stating that tickets can only be sold at face-value via Ticketmaster and Twickets.

Tickets will be limited to four per household, per show. Under 14s will not be allowed and those under 16 will have to be accompanied by an adult.
