Oasis resale tickets will go on sale today with strict rules for fans

Get ready Oasis fans, as there may be another opportunity for you to bag yourself tickets to see the Britpop legends live.

On Saturday (31 August) tickets for the band's highly anticipated reunion tour went live, sparking chaos as hundreds of thousands of fans scrambled to get their hands on a pair.

The process of landing yourself with a ticket was a lot easier said than done, with fans complaining about websites 'crashing', lengthy queues and having their accounts suspended over allegations of being a bot.

So understandably, when it was announced the tour had sold out in its entirety that evening, there were still pockets of fans left disappointed.

Thankfully the dream of seeing Noel and Liam reunite on stage for the first time in 15 years may not be over, as Ticketmaster has announced that fans will be able to exchange resale tickets later today (2 September).

However there will be rules in place.

What are the rules for purchasing Oasis tickets in the resale?

Due to unprecedented demand for the tour, concerns about fans being forced to shell out astronomical prices on the resale market have been a huge talking point.

The band has so far issued stern warnings on ticket sales, releasing a statement informing fans that only tickets purchased at face value through Twickets and Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan will be valid. The statement added that '[any] tickets sold in breach of the terms and conditions will be canceled by the promoters'.

However Ticketmaster has already faced backlash over the weekend, with fans blasting the dynamic pricing option and demanding a complete overhaul of how tickets are sold in the country.

Fans queuing for tickets were shocked to discover that prices had been inflated to rates such as £355 and repackaged as 'in demand' tickets.

Fans were quick to blast the move on social media, with many branding the move completely unfair.

Ticketmaster has since responded to the backlash, telling LADbible that the site itself does not set the prices for shows which are instead decided on by 'promoters and artists'.

The site's terms and conditions page goes on to explain that 'promoters and artists set ticket prices. Prices can be either fixed or market-based. Market-based tickets are labelled as Platinum or In Demand'.

When it comes to pricing of tickets, fans purchasing through Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan or Twickets will be able to buy them for face value, plus a booking fee.

🚨 If you haven’t secured @oasis tickets then don’t panic, and certainly don’t buy on unofficial sites such as Viagogo & StubHub as these tickets will be cancelled.

Twickets has since confirmed to LADbible that fans who purchased tickets for in demand prices will be able to sell them at the same cost.

"Tickets sold through Twickets can be listed for face value or less. Face value is the price the seller paid for the tickets in the first place on the primary market," Twickets founder Richard Davies said in a statement.

LADbible has also approached Ticketmaster and representatives for Oasis for comment.
