Woman offers Oasis fans her garden to camp in to avoid extortionate hotel fees on one condition
A woman has offered Oasis fans a great deal ahead of their 2025 summer tour across the UK and Ireland.
The Manchester Britpop band announced on Tuesday (27 August) that they would be reuniting after 15 years apart, with Liam and Noel Gallagher settling their differences.
Along with the announcement, the group also announced 14 tour dates across the British Isles that would take place over July and August next year.
Oasis will be playing in Cardiff, London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin, and have even gone out of their way to deny rumours that they could be headlining Glastonbury next June.

But with the announcement of the long-awaited reunion of the Gallaghers and their dates, hotel prices went haywire and it looks like on top of the expected amount of £100 upwards for a ticket, you may need to fork out another few hundred to have a shot at booking a hotel for the night.
Mind you, the tickets haven't even been released yet and hotel groups have already had to address 'technical errors' when booking rooms for that weekend.
It could be one of the biggest downfalls to those looking to head to one of the in-demand shows, especially if they live nowhere near the venue.
But it looks like concert-goers may have found their potential hero, as one woman took to social media to share an opportunity for fans to stay for free in her back garden, as long as they did one thing.
Olivia Bridge raised an offer on X to Oasis fans, explaining: "I live right by Heaton Park.
"If you're an Oasis fan and don't want to fork out £100s for a place to kip, you can camp in my garden. For free."
But there was one big asterisk: "The only condition is that you get a ticket for me too. I'll pay for it, and I'll even throw in brews, breakfast and a driveway.
"This is actually a serious offer!
"I've got my parents and pals all at the ready for Saturday 9am, but anything to increase my chances," she said.
Later, Olivia added to her thread to clarify that she doesn't live on Heaton Park itself, so she can't host everyone, though she shared some photos of how big her garden is and agreed with her housemate that they could probably fit four x two man tents.
Listing some benefits, which include plug sockets, supermarkets nearby, a driveway and no set check in/out times, what else could you want?
She hopes that if four people take her up on her offer, she'll have four tickets to distribute out to her best friend, dad, mum and herself, all of whom are big fans of Oasis, with the former and Olivia getting matching 'Live Forever' tattoos, a song from the band's debut album.
Despite the kind offer, Olivia highlighted: "No ticket, no entry. No breakfast, no tea, no sing songing together on the walk back from the gig,
"If you turn up without an Oasis ticket, it’s the cold concrete pavement on the main road for you I’m afraid.
"And I won’t put a stop to the 100+ pals I’ve got camping out in the back from egging and tormenting you as we skip by," she brutally admitted.
It's a decent offer, but with each person being limited to buying four tickets each, and the slim chance of getting one at all, do you think it's worth it?
