Error messages and lengthy online queues frustrate fans scrambling to secure Oasis reunion tickets
Oasis fans seeking tickets to the band’s reunion tour have endured hourslong waits as online platforms strain under demand from hundreds of thousands of fans
LONDON (AP) — Some Oasis fans celebrated like a champagne supernova, while others looked back in anger on Saturday as online ticket sites strained under demand for the band’s first shows for 15 years.
The Britpop-era behemoth led by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher is scheduled to play 17 gigs in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin starting July 4.
More than 1 million tickets went on sale Saturday morning, with prices starting at about 74 pounds (just under $100) and rising to a 506-pound ($666) package that includes a pre-show party and merchandise.
The band's representatives said later in the day that all the tickets were sold, but hinted more shows may be announced, saying “anticipation for details of the tour’s international dates is now rapidly mounting.”
