Oasis tickets are already on reselling platforms at extortionate prices
Tickets for Oasis' upcoming performances have gone live, and some are already up for sale on resale sites at an inflated price.
X account OasisMania took to the social media platform to share a screenshot of tickets for the shows on sale, writing in the post: "Oasis tickets are already on Viagogo at absolutely ridiculous prices".
Tickets are available to buy directly from Ticketmaster, but fans who have found themselves losing out after joining the queue can also resort to other options, assuming money is no object when it comes to seeing Oasis perform live.
This is in the form of resellers, people who manage to scoop a ticket only to put it up for sale on a different site at a vastly marked up cost.

LADBible went on to the website Viagogo to see for ourselves just how much the tickets to see Oasis performing at the Etihad Stadium are being resold for online, and the results were shocking.
But before we get into the pricing for the resellers, how much is the base price of a ticket for people who are fortunate enough to get to the front of the queue?
Standard ticket prices for the shows at the Etihad Stadium are £74.60, £107.60, £173.60, £206.60, and £266.60 for seated tickets, including fees. For standing tickets the price comes in at £173.60 and £206.60.
Meanwhile, there are also hotel packages at £475, £485, £490, and £495 including fees, coach packages £227.60, £229.60, £232.60, and £238.60 including fees, and VIP packages at £306.60, £366.60, £511.60, and £571.60 including fees.
Even these prices are already pretty steep for a single concert, bearing in mind that for smaller venues and smaller artists you would pay a tiny fraction of that cost, and even full weekend tickets to Glastonbury festival, for a whole weekend of music and culture, are priced at £408.
But while the tickets were expensive, when we looked at the pricing for the tickets listed for resale this went into a whole other level.
We looked at the band's scheduled performance at the Etihad Stadium on 4 June.
Front standing tickets near to the stage were listed on the website Viagogo for £994, more than £300 more than people who would be standing a little further back in general admission, where they were listed at £651.
The cheapest tickets for resale on the website were priced at £566, and were located behind the stage meaning that you wouldn't be able to see everything that was going on.
Others areas in the stadium were priced at £609 and £628, and those were all the tickets available to buy for three figure sums.
The next level up was located in section 42 of the stadium, and priced at £1,109, with another area up for £1,193 before another leapt all the way up to £1,825.
All of these prices are for a single ticket as well by the way.
The last two sections we saw were section 22, with four tickets available listed at £2,238 each.
Finally, there were four other tickets listed at an excruciating £2,965 for a single ticket - more than 10 times the most expensive seated tickets which were not part of a package, priced at £266.60.
