Oasis has announced that they will not introduce dynamic prices for their international tour after huge controversy in the UK.
Fans of the British rock icons will have another chance to snag tickets as the band confirmed on social media: ‘America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along. Oasis will tour North America in 2025!’
The post revealed that the pre-sale private ballot will take place on October 3, with the general sale set for Friday, October 4.
It was also revealed that the band has scrapped dynamic prices afterUK fans ended up paying huge sums to secure tickets because of high demand.
An announcement read: ‘Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model will not be applied to the forthcoming sale of tickets to Oasis concerts in North America.’
Many UK fans were infuriated after reading this, with some asking if they would be reimbursed for their more expensive tickets.
‘What about reimbursing all the UK fans who paid too much recently!!’ said Leah_Greenbank on X.
‘And you are refunding everyone else the money you stole from the true fans in the UK shows?’ asked Samiq.
‘So will UK fans who paid more due to dynamic pricing be refunded the difference?’ asked Manicrose1984.
‘So Uk and Ireland fans get ripped off, North American fans don’t,’ said Gaggs21.
The band is set to perform in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, Los Angeles, and Mexico City at the end of the summer next year.
The rock band teased the announcement by posting photos to social media of billboards in various cities which show brothers Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher together with the headline, ‘Be careful what you wish for.’
In the caption, the group said the announcement will be made at 8am Eastern Time on Monday and added ‘#OasisLive25.’
There is speculation that the feuding siblings will take their reunion gigs to 13 cities next year, with the tour confirmed for the UK, Ireland, the US, Canada, and Mexico so far.
Confirmed new dates in the US, Canada, and Mexico
Toronto, Rogers Stadium – August 24
Chicago, Soldier Field – August 28
East Rutherford, Metlife Stadium – August 31
Los Angeles, Rose Bowl Stadium – September 6
Mexico City, Estadio GNP Seguros – Setpember 12
The Britpop group announced their reunion last month following a long-standing feud between Liam and Noel after the band split in 2009 – prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France.
Noel and Liam, from Manchester, will reunite for their first UK show since their split at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on July 4.
The duo last performed together in 2009 at V Festival in Staffordshire.
Oasis’s string of 19 UK and Ireland dates has sold out, including two extra Wembley shows, which sparked a furore over ticket sales and inflated prices.
Rumoured Oasis cities for international tour
Boston, US
Seoul, South Korea
Tokyo, Japan
Melbourne, Australia
Sydney, Australia
Sao Paulo, Brazil
Santiago, Chile
Buenos Aires, Argentina
The band have ruled out returning to Knebworth Park ‘in the future’, along with any plans for more dates in the UK.
However, fans across the globe are itching to get the chance to see them, as the reveal of international locations looks to be on the horizon for next summer.
Alas, it is not clear whether the band will stick with the decision to turn on dynamic pricing for the sale.
The Wonderwall hitmakers previously said they were unaware that dynamic pricing, which led to some standard tickets more than doubling from £148 to £355, was going to be used on Ticketmaster, and blamed the situation on ‘unprecedented demand’.
This also prompted the Government and the UK’s competition watchdog to pledge they would look at the use of dynamic pricing.
Ticketmaster has previously said it does not set concert prices and its website states this is down to the ‘event organiser’ who ‘has priced these tickets according to their market value’.
Other fans were angry and disappointed after being left empty-handed, having battled website issues, being mislabelled as bots and waiting in an online queue for hours to buy tickets.
This year marks 30 years since the band released their debut studio album, Definitely Maybe, which sailed to the top of the UK charts earlier in the month, bolstered by the release of a deluxe edition celebrating its anniversary.
