Yahoo News Oasis Murrayfield Edinburgh: Resale tickets available after fans miss out
Unlucky Oasis fans may be in for a second shot at seeing their icons - as resale tickets are set to be released.
Ticketmaster has confirmed ticket holders can resell their tickets from Monday, September 2 through Ticketmaster or Twickets only. This comes after Oasis warned fans not to buy from other reseller websites.
Strict rules have been put in place to prevent 'price gouging' and social media bots.

Tickets bought from third-party websites will not be valid, according to Ticketmaster and Oasis. However, tickets have already been spotted going for £4,500 for the huge Murrayfield gigs.
According to the ticket seller, the strict rules are put in place 'to cap ticket resale prices'.
Ticketmaster's website states: "Ticketholders can resell their tickets from Monday 2nd September through Ticketmaster or Twickets only. The tour has put this policy in place to cap ticket resale prices to combat price inflation and prevent ticket touting and bots.
Selling tickets on unauthorised resale platforms breaches the promoter’s terms and conditions and may result in those tickets being cancelled. Therefore, they strongly recommend buying and selling tickets only through Ticketmaster or Twickets."
This comes after many were left waiting in the queue on Saturday for 'several hours'. However, by the time they managed to add tickets to their basket, prices had soared. Meanwhile, hundreds of fans reported Ticketmaster "crashing" and "freezing". Some were even sent back to the start of the queue after waiting for hours.
The selling site previously urged fans to remain in the queue and to only use one tab. A spokesperson for Ticketmaster said: ""The queue is moving along as fans buy tickets. As anticipated, millions of fans are accessing our site so have been placed in a queue.
"Fans are advised to hold their place in line, make sure they're only using one tab, clear cookies, and ensure they aren't using any VPN software on their device."
