Excitement reached a fever pitch last week after Noel and Liam Gallagher sensationally confirmed that Oasis had reformed for a mammoth UK and Ireland tour.

And as fans prepare to fight for tickets, production companies are also reportedly fighting over the rights to a movie about the long-awaited return.

According The sunA cutthroat bidding war has broken out between those desperate to get the deal.

A source told the publication: ‘A dedicated Apple team has met to discuss the offer they are putting forward, and the companies that work with Netflix and Prime Video are doing the same.

They added: “The offers being put forward are in the millions. They know the price has to be right for Noel and Liam to accept.”

The Oasis team are reportedly preparing to review offers “in due course” after being inundated with them since the reunion was announced.

However, whether frontmen Liam and Noel would agree to filming the tour is another question, as the source admitted they “don’t need it”.

This comes just after the band announced three new UK dates for their reunion tour on Thursday following “unprecedented” demand for tickets.

The iconic Britpop band have added additional shows at Heaton Park on July 16, Wembley on July 30 and Edinburgh on August 12.

The new gigs mean Oasis will play a total of 17 shows in the UK and Ireland, five of them at Wembley Stadium, as part of their planned world tour next year.

The band also extended the deadline for fans to confirm their pre-sale registrations until Friday morning.

The band’s devoted fans had until 7pm last night to confirm their pre-sale ticket on their official website, before the official release of tickets on Saturday at 9am for the UK shows and 8am for the Dublin shows.

But this has been extended until 10am on Friday “due to a last-minute surge in ballot entries before the sale”.

The Oasis team is reportedly preparing to review offers

The Oasis team are reportedly preparing to review offers “in due course” after being inundated with them since announcing the reunion.

This comes after some disappointed fans were left panicking as they had yet to receive their confirmation emails.

And getting a ticket is only half the problem, as fans are also facing sky-high prices for hotel rooms after the band announced the additional dates.

Hotel prices have skyrocketed, with a basic double room in some establishments costing nearly £1,000.

Fans of the iconic 90s band are furious at “rip-off” hotels amid an extraordinary scramble for accommodation among those desperate to see the brothers on their reunion tour.

Announcing the Oasis Live 25 tour alongside the first photo of the brothers together in years, the legendary band said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come and see it. It won’t be televised.”

Oasis’ website crashed immediately after the announcement as fans went into a frenzy and although tickets have yet to be officially released, many hotels where the band will be playing are already sold out or advertising exorbitant rates.

Tickets to see the Don’t Look Back In Anger hitmakers go on sale in the UK from 9am on August 31, while tickets in Dublin will be available from 8am on the same day.
