Liam Gallagher's brutal responses to fans complaining over Oasis tickets
It seems Liam Gallagher has been on quite the social media rampage over the last 24 hours, issuing a series of brutal responses to fans who had complained about Oasis tickets.
Fans previously had to sign up to the band's re-sale registration to be sent a unique, non-transferable code to access an allocated onsale window for next year's shows.
Now the time has come for the tickets to be secured, with the chance to see Noel and Liam Gallagher in the flesh decided across Friday to Sunday, 25 to 27 September with hopefuls being emailed their codes.

Tickets went on sale from 9am on Friday (25 September). The price of a standard ticket varies wildly, starting at £71.50 and going up to £266.60 for those looking to secure a spot at the iconic Knebworth location.
VIP tickets then vary between £305.50 and £571.
However fans quickly began to complain about missing out on codes, the availability of tickets and the cost of the tickets once through to the booking site, with them already appearing on resale sites.
In one exchange, an X user recalled spending just £6.30 to see Oasis in 1994, adding that today’s prices had an inflation rate of 2,598 percent, to which Liam issued a brutal response, writing: "STOP MOANING".
Another user wrote: "So yer no getting the option to choose yer tickets. Its basically taking you to a section. Take or leave kinda thing," to which Liam then clapped back: "Stop moaning get your ticket get your bird a ticket and hush it up to ras."
When a third fan questioned what Liam thought of fans then re-selling their tickets through channels online, he quipped: "Don’t f-ing buy them SIMPLE."
Oasis Live 27 will see the group play 42 shows in Scotland, England, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, France, Italy, the US and Ireland.
Demand for the tour has been so great that Oasis added four extra dates, including two at Knebworth on September 25 and 26, where they famously played two concerts in August 1996 to an audience of more than 100,000 fans each night.
The band reunited last year for their Live 25 tour, which sold out within minutes of tickets going on sale, and was estimated by Forbes to have generated more than £293 million in revenue.
The band have also recently told fans to be wary of scammers attempting to impersonate Oasis or their ticket partners.
In a statement, they wrote: “Important: We have been made aware of possible Oasis ticket scams.
“As ticket information and unique codes are about to be distributed, please remain vigilant.
“Scammers may attempt to impersonate Oasis, our mailing list or our ticket partners.
“Please do not accept a code that is not sent by [email protected].”
