Many Oasis fans were left devastated and empty-handed when their highly-anticipated 17-date UK reunion tour sold out within hours in an online fiasco.
Some 14 million fans braved eight-hour queues in a bid to get their hands on coveted tickets to see the rock band live – and many still went without.
While other lucky fans managed to get tickets, many were forced to shell out huge amounts of money for them after dynamic pricing saw costs nearly double in a matter of hours.
Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have since announced two more Wembley shows and tickets will be made available via an invite-only tiered voting to select fans who missed out the first time around on Ticketmaster.
Aside from the two newly added London dates, the entire UK tour has already sold out, but Oasis have also teased that plans are in the works for a world tour.
In a statement, Oasis said plans were “underway” to visit other countries but have not said where they might perform, leaving Australians in suspense.
However, Australian showbiz pundit Peter Ford has insisted his statement is “as good as confirmation” that Oasis will visit Australia on their comeback tour.
While the news has yet to be confirmed, Daily Mail has taken a look at how much Oasis tickets in Australia could cost if the rockers do touch down on Australian soil.

If an Australian tour does go ahead, tickets will likely go on sale through Ticketek or Live Nation, who have sold tickets for other global stars including Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo respectively.
Frontier Touring is also a major supplier Down Under and has been responsible for ticket advertising for Take That and Billie Eilish’s Australian tours in 2024.
While no news has been confirmed on the Ticketek website, there is a generic waitlist page encouraging fans to sign up to be the first to know “when an Oasis tour comes to Australia.”
It says: “Want to know when an Oasis tour is coming to Australia? Want to know when Oasis tickets go on sale?
‘Add your favorite events to the waitlist and we’ll contact you when information is available.’
Daily Mail Australia also understands that ticket prices for Australian shows would be determined by the artist, rather than the ticket provider.
While tickets for the UK shows started at around £70, which converts to $136, dynamic pricing caused costs to rise considerably due to high demand.
Many fans were outraged when standing room only ticket prices more than doubled, costing £355, which would equate to a staggering $694.
Australian ticket provider Ticketek also uses dynamic pricing, meaning Oasis fans in Australia could also face the same pricing chaos if tickets go on sale.
Australians could face paying between $130 and $700 if tickets are priced the same as in the UK, though they could pay even more as this does not take into account the additional costs of international touring.
Prices have skyrocketed globally in recent years and have risen even further due to the fallout from the Covid-19 crisis, with fans paying hundreds of dollars to see their favorite artists live.
If an Australian tour is announced, fans could be looking at paying between $130 and $700 if tickets are priced the same as in the UK (Oasis pictured here in 2008).
During their heyday in the ’90s, Oasis were no strangers to performing in Oceania, having visited the country in 1998 before returning in 2001/2 and again in 2005 (Liam is pictured in Melbourne in 2002).
When Taylor Swift visited Australia earlier this year, regular tickets ranged in price from $79.90 to $379.90, with VIP rates going up to $1,249.90.
Billie Eilish is set to perform in Australia in early 2025 for a series of sold-out shows, with fans paying between $199.90 and $351.85 to attend.
Iron Maiden will also be taking to the stage Down Under in a matter of days, with tickets ranging from $109 for a reserved seat to $209 for a standing room only ticket.
Meanwhile, exclusive VIP packages range in price from $355 to almost $600 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
Take That tickets for November are currently on sale from $199 to $379, with Oasis’ concerts expected to be in considerably higher demand.
They have a huge Australian fan base and visited Oceania in 1998 for the Be Here Now Tour following their chart-topping worldwide success.
They delighted fans by returning Down Under for the 2001 Heathen Chemistry Tour and returned again in late 2005 for the Don’t Believe the Truth Tour.
That was Oasis’ last visit to Australia before their much-publicised split in August 2009, and demand is expected to be sky-high if brothers Liam and Noel announce any Australian dates.
