Oasis fans have lashed out at the ‘crazy’ ticket prices for the British band’s concerts in Sydney and Melbourne.
Presales for the Australian leg of the reunion tour began on Monday and Australian concertgoers are not happy.
General admission (GA) tickets are reportedly going out the door for over $300 each, with Sydney tickets said to be priced more expensive.
Fans took to X to express their frustrations over the most expensive ticket prices they have ever found.
‘Oasis: by far the most expensive tickets I have ever bought. That queue to buy tickets is a high-pressure sales tactic,” journalist Andrew Fenton published in X.
He shared an image of his confirmed purchase for one of the Melbourne concerts.
‘Anyone get pre-sale tickets to Oasis GA in Melbourne that weren’t $330?’ another person wrote.
Oasis have added more dates to the Australia leg of their 2025 reunion tour before tickets go on sale.
Meanwhile, others decided not to buy tickets because their budgets simply couldn’t stretch them.
“First time I didn’t buy concert tickets because they were ridiculously expensive,” wrote one disappointed fan.
‘I can always find a reason for a show, but more than $250 to sit in the back row of a stadium to see Oasis? No.’
Last week, Oasis caused a stir when they added more dates to the Australia leg of their 2025 reunion tour.
Noel and Liam Gallagher have confirmed two Australian shows on their long-awaited comeback tour.
Oasis took to Instagram last Friday to confirm the news with their followers, however many fans were upset that they will only be performing in Sydney and Melbourne.
In addition to the previously announced show at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on October 31, the brothers will also perform at the venue on November 1.
They will then head to Sydney, where they will now perform at Accor Stadium on November 7 and 8, bringing their total dates in Australia to four.
Many enthusiastic Australian fans were quick to share their joy, although some also expressed disappointment at the exclusion of Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.
New Zealand has apparently also been snubbed from the Oceania dates, meaning there will no doubt be even greater demand for the Australian gigs.
On Friday, Oasis took to Instagram to confirm the news with their followers (all dates pictured), although some fans were upset they will only be performing in Sydney and Melbourne.
‘That’s amazing! High demand means the events in Melbourne and Sydney will be fantastic!’
Another commented: ‘Congratulations Australia’ and a fourth gushed: ‘So exciting to see Oasis add more dates! Can’t wait to see them live in Melbourne or Sydney!’
But others were not so excited.
“Add Brisbane please,” one wrote, while another added: “Usually a tour isn’t just two cities.”
‘No! Still no show in Brisbane,” said one more.
Tickets for the shows will be available on October 15 at 10am in Melbourne and noon in Sydney.
Ticketmaster registration opens 24 hours before the sale.
The Oasis website strongly advises fans to pre-register on Ticketmaster as another flurry of tickets is expected following the chaos of the UK leg of the tour.
Many Oasis fans were already left empty-handed when their long-awaited 17-date UK reunion tour sold out within hours in an online fiasco.
Around 14 million fans had to queue for eight hours to get the coveted tickets to see the rock band live, and many were still missing out.
While other lucky fans managed to get their hands on tickets, many were forced to spend huge amounts on them after dynamic pricing caused costs to nearly double in a matter of hours.
The Gallagher brothers then made tickets available for two more Wembley shows via a staggered invitation-only vote, but many fans were left disappointed after not being called for the sale despite queuing for hours at the first sale.
The sky-high demand for the band’s first Australian tour in 19 years comes before tickets go on sale on October 15 (Noel and Liam are pictured in 2008).
During their heyday in the ’90s, Oasis visited Australia in 1998 for the Be Here Now tour following their global success.
They delighted fans by returning to Australia for the 2001 Heathen Chemistry Tour, and returned again in late 2005 for the Don’t Believe the Truth Tour.
Their 2025 concert series will mark their first Australian tour in 19 years, and their first tour since their explosive fall and dissolution in 2009.
The band broke up after an argument backstage at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009.
Oasis rose to global stardom in the ’90s, when their 1994 debut album, Definitely Maybe, became the biggest-selling debut album in British history.
The following year (What’s the story) Morning Glory? was released with smash hits Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova, with Wonderwall topping the ARIA Top 10 charts for 11 straight weeks after its release.
