Oasis fans fume as £2,000 tickets appear online within minutes of pre-sale starting

Oasis fans were left fuming on Friday night, as tickets, some costing £2,000 started to appear on re-sale sites, just minutes after the pre-sale began.

It was back on Tuesday this week that the Brit pop legends announced they they were reuniting for a huge reunion tour, with the news coming three decades after the release of acclaimed debut album Definitely Maybe, after of the UK and Ireland dates next year, 30 on from (What's The Story) Morning Glory taking the charts by storm.

Before a single ticket had even gone on sale, three extra dates were added to the existing 14 on Thursday, with some fans then left delighted on Friday afternoon, when e-mails with access codes to the pre-sale appeared in their inbox.

the demand for the pre-sale was absolutely massive, meaning plenty of genuine fans missed out. And that sparked no end of anger when, by 7.15pm, just 15 minutes after the Oasis pre-sale began, tickets were being advertised on re-sale sites for sky high prices.

ChronicleLive saw one ticket on sale for a Wembley date on sale for £1,995, with another for £1,774. As complaints started to flood in on social media and Oasis were asked to 'void' any tickets not sold out at face value, a general admission one of the band's homecoming gigs at Heaton Park, Manchester, was being listed for £813.

Fans who spotted the ads or saw people posting about them online were quick to complain, with one blasting: "Sent those codes to some great people. Ones who instantly put them on resale for extortionate prices" as another fumed: "Oasis Wembley Stadium tickets already on sale for over £800+ each. Absolute scum behaviour!"

Also really annoyed, a third ranted: "Good job protecting the fans on the presale @oasis. I'd give anything for a ticket and these so called "true fans" are already reselling for extortionate prices"

The general sale will begin on Saturday, August 31 at 9am for the UK dates - Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh and 8am for the Dublin gigs.
