Liam Gallagher tells fans 'shutup' after Oasis ticket prices spark U.K. investigation into Ticketmaster

Select fans have been invited to purchase tickets through a private ballot.

Liam Gallagher isn’t interested in fielding fan complaints, even as Ticketmaster faces scrutiny for how its “dynamic pricing” has hiked the cost of Oasis tickets.

On Friday, the singer-songwriter made it clear that he expected a tad more gratitude for finally reuniting with his brother, Noel, after a 15-year-long split.

“OASIS are back your welcome and I hear there ATTITUDE STINKS,” he wrote on X. “Good to know something’s never change LFUCKING x”

When one fan replied with a complaint about the band “rip[ping] the fans off” with high ticket prices, Gallagher wrote, “SHUTUP.”

The “attitude” that has Gallagher so fired up is that of outraged fans, upset over ticket availability for the band’s 2025 summer tour across the U.K. and Ireland.

The band has already made efforts to block scalpers from cornering the market on Oasis tickets — last week they warned, “Tickets can ONLY be resold at face value," adding "tickets sold in breach of the terms and conditions will be canceled by the promoters.” Still, seats with high resale prices have begun to appear on secondary platforms including StubHub and Viagogo.

That said, fans are also taking issue with the primary ticket seller, Ticketmaster, whose “dynamic pricing” system raises the cost of tickets that are in high-demand. Given the 15-year hiatus, Oasis immediately fit the bill, making individual tickets cost as much as ￡200 (about $260), per The Guardian.

Despite Gallagher’s annoyed post, Oasis announced on Saturday that select fans will have a second shot at scoring tickets thanks to a private ballot system. Those who signed into Ticketmaster on Aug. 31, entered the queue for a specific date, and were still unable to land tickets should have received an invitation to buy tickets for additional Wembley Stadium dates.

“Oasis has emailed all eligible fans with registration instructions,” Ticketmaster wrote on X. “If  you did not receive this email, you are not eligible.”

Ticketmaster is also under fire from the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which announced on Thursday, Sep. 5 that an investigation has been launched into whether Ticketmaster breached consumer protection law with its “dynamic pricing.” The agency is looking into the company’s Oasis ticket sales, including whether people were put under pressure to buy tickets at unexpected prices within a short period of time and whether buyers were given “clear and timely information” explaining what and how dynamic pricing works.

The Oasis Live ’25 World Tour will see the brothers play over 14 shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin throughout July and August. The domestic leg includes four nights at their native Manchester’s Heaton Park, as well as London’s Wembley Stadium.

As for fans living outside of the U.K. and Ireland, the initial announcement teased another leg of the tour, which will take the band to “other continents outside of Europe later next year.”
