Man who told people he'd sold Oasis tickets for £4,000 comes clean in surprising new twist

The Oasis frenzy has shown no signs of slowing down as a man who claimed to have sold tickets to the Britpop band's highly anticipated reunion tour for £4,000 has come clean in a surprising twist.

TikTok user @ty_in_thesky initially said he'd bagged four standing tickets to see Liam and Noel Gallagher on stage in Cardiff.

The tickets are priced £150 each, but Ty explained he was able to resell them for a whopping £1,000 a pop which of course raised a lot of eyebrows in the comments.

For those who were scrambling to snap up tickets for the Oasis' 'Live 25' tour on Saturday (31 August), it quickly descended into a nightmarish experience.

Amid lengthy online queues and being booted off the site to many seeing their accounts cancelled over suspicions of being a bot and others asked to fork out more than double the original price due to the tickets being 'in demand', it's safe to say it was a chaotic day for music fans.

Understandably, many complained, with fans blasting the dynamic pricing option. The 'in demand' option has previously left many fans with little choice but to shell out huge sums for hot tickets such as Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, or give up the chance to see their favourite artists altogether.

Oasis hasn't been any different, leading to some disappointed fans harshly criticising the pricing options.

And it turns out that TikToker Ty's initial claims he'd resold tickets for £1,000 each were a prank to blast the ticket prices.

"It's not always as it seems," he said in a new video posted to TikTok

In the confession clip, Ty voiced his frustration with the ticket sale process, saying: "To be totally truthful, my honest opinion is that for any of you guys trying to get them, and you were in a queue for hours and hours and hours, and all that was left were tickets that were like £350 - you should be kicking off at Noel and Liam for it.

"They are the ones who decided how it works on Ticketmaster, they are the ones that did the price searches for Ticketmaster, and they should be ashamed of themselves."

Ty didn't get a ticket either, despite queuing for hours.

"The true fans want to see them back together and, you know, I'm not going to get to see it. I was in the queue, but I didn't get any tickets."

After being approached by LADbible for comment, a spokesperson for Ticketmaster explained that the site doesn't set the prices for tickets and that it's up to 'promoters and artists' to decide how much fans should pay.

"Promoters and artists set ticket prices. Prices can be either fixed or market-based. Market-based tickets are labelled as Platinum or In Demand."

Ticketmaster introduced the dynamic pricing system back in 2022, with the feature allowing prices to inflate according to market demand.
