Oasis have issued a warning against people reselling tickets for their reunion tour at higher prices.

The band wrote on X: “We have noticed people attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market since the start of the pre-sale. Please note, tickets can ONLY be resold, at face value, via @Ticketmaster and @Twickets.”

It added that tickets sold in breach of terms and conditions will be cancelled by the promoters.

It comes after fans were left fuming as tickets, bought by those who received early access codes in a pre-sale ballot, were being resold for more than £6,000.

A limited amount of people were able to take a shot at securing a coveted ticket between 7pm and 10pm on Friday evening, with tickets sold on a “first come, first served basis”.

But shortly after going on sale, floor standing tickets ranged from around £807 – £3,615 on StubHub while seats in some lower level sections reached a whopping £6,347.

Resale website Viagogo also advertised tickets for more than £2,000.

One fan wrote on X: “Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher, Oasis this is just wrong. So many of us are desperate to see you guys.”

Another added: “The fact that Oasis tickets are already being resold at insane prices is making me feel sick. What chance do actual fans have?”

Sky News have contacted StubHub and Viagogo for comment.
