Oasis fans warned as ticket scammers target Gen Z in new study
As the Oasis Live '25 tour fast approaches, many fans will be looking to secure tickets to see the band live - however, not all online ticket sellers are legitimate.
Oasis fans still on the hunt for tickets to the band's Oasis Live '25 gigs may be tempted by the myriad of second-hand ticket offers online. However, not all these offers are genuine.
StubHub, a resale ticket seller, has conducted research into the risk of being duped by counterfeit tickets for the upcoming Oasis concerts. The findings, at the time of writing, are stark to say the least.
According to the data, Leeds fans are the most likely to be duped by online scammers. Coming in second is Londoners as the most likely group to fall prey to online fraudsters.
Generation Z is expected to bear the brunt of the scams, however. This is due to the fact they make up the largest demographic likely to attend the concerts.
StubHub's research claims nearly a third (32 per cent) of UK music fans resort to seeking last-minute gig tickets on social media, and almost two in five (38 per cent) could be lured by fake ticket adverts on these platforms, reports the Express. What's more, almost half of Generation Z (47 per cent) confessed to having been previously scammed by fraudsters on social media.
As a result, StubHub are urging fans to purchase resale tickets from either official sellers or reputable resale websites. This no doubt includes StubHub, viagogo or Vivid Seats - to name a few.
Below, we have collected some of the biggest resale markets fans can peruse to get their resale tickets right now by using these websites.
viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
How to buy Oasis tickets now
Oasis tickets can currently be purchased through several online resale retailers. This includes the aforementioned viagogo, StubHub, and Vivid Seats.
Music enthusiasts now have a new way to snap up the best seats for upcoming gigs, all thanks to fan-to-fan ticket exchange websites. Although these sites are not official ticketing partners, they offer a platform for die-hard fans to buy and sell tickets at will.
However, Twickets, the official resale site, currently shows no available tickets. Meanwhile, Viagogo's listings are brimming, showcasing hundreds of tickets ready for purchase for those eager concert-goers.
Here's the essential links gig-lovers will need:
VIAGOGO - Buy Oasis resale tickets now.
VIVID SEATS - Buy Oasis resale tickets now.
STUBHUB - Buy Oasis resale tickets now.
TWICKETS - Buy Oasis resale tickets now.
Of course, Ticketmaster is also an option. At the time of writing, very few tickets are available through their official resale portal.
These tickets are being sold for upwards of £513 each. And most shows are being advertised as either "low availability" or "limited availability".
Here's the link:
TICKETMASTER - Buy Oasis tickets here.

In light of the booming live music scene, Bob Kupbens, CEO of StubHub International, has spoken out about the darker side effect of this resurgence: "We're set for an outstanding line-up of live music this summer, but we know that a dangerous shadow trend comes with that: the rise of fake tickets on social media."
He warned against the flurry of counterfeit tickets flooding platforms unchecked: "Intense fan excitement and dedication unfortunately create fertile ground for scammers who use exploitative methods to sell fraudulent tickets in places without the required consumer protections."
Kupbens reassured fans seeking last-minute tickets, pointing them towards legitimate options: "If you're looking for a last minute gig ticket this summer, there are safe and secure spaces where you can buy with confidence. Regulated resale platforms like StubHub UK exist for this reason - to keep you protected from fraud when buying resale tickets, with money-back guarantees in case anything goes wrong.
"At StubHub UK, we are completely focused on fan protection, and that's why fans trust us time and again for tickets to unforgettable shows."

Oasis fans offered tips to avoid travel chaos after gigs at Murrayfield Stadium
Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher will be at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on the Oasis Live '25 Tour, with fans of acts like Taylor Swift offering advice to concertgoers Fans of Oasis have been offered advice from supporters of acts like Taylor Swift and Robbie Williams ahead of the band's reunion tour. It comes ahead of Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher playing gigs at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. There's concern about getting home from the venue, which has a capacity of 67,000, in August. It comes following the experiences of Taylor's fans, who grappled with transport difficulties last June when the international singer dazzled crowds over three nights at the venue during her Era's Tour. Now, as the countdown to the Oasis gigs on August 8, 9 and 12 continues, fans of the band have been issued advice, as reported by the Daily Record. It includes them having been dissuaded from using Haymarket station – advice shared on a Reddit thread entitled: "People of Glasgow that are going to Oasis in Edinburgh, how are we getting home?'' The user sparked discussion about how people that live outside of Edinburgh are planning to get home. The post read: "As per title, are people chancing being able to get a train home? A coach? A million pound taxi? I'm really not sure of the best plan of action..." One Swiftie from Glasgow suggested: "Tip from when I was at Taylor Swift last year. Everyone will be trying to get a train from Haymarket, and it'll be f***ing mobbed." Advising instead: "Head to Waverly (either via tram or just walk) and get on the train there, it'll be significantly quieter, and you'll likely get a table seat as well, rather than being stuck standing." There's also been advice from someone who attended Robbie Williams' gig in Edinburgh, where he kicked off his BRIT POP world tour at the end of last month. Offering their advice, they said: "We were at Robbie Williams on Saturday and Citylink buses were pretty decent. "Drop you right outside the stadium and pick you up just a little bit further away be prepared for a bit of [a] wait though because it's busy. So the concert finished at 10:30 and we were on the bus by about 11:30." Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp! As the hotly anticipated Oasis reunion tour grows closer, the Mirror has launched its very own Oasis WhatsApp community where you'll get all the latest news on the Gallagher brothers and all the information you'll need in the run up to the gigs.

Another person chimed in to the discussion reassuring revellers about late-night transportation between cities: "The buses run 24 hours between Glasgow and Edinburgh. I don't think it will be that bad trying to get home via public transport." There was however a word of caution about high demand to book ahead from someone else. They wrote: "Make sure to book the [CityLink] 900 and AIR buses ahead of time, they fill up quickly." Another person suggested similarly, writing in part of their response: "Citylink run all night. Happy Bus run private coach transfers from Buchanan to the event and back." A different user offered a more unconventional tip for catching a quieter bus: "Head to a club till you're completely knackered then head for a bus (they run 24/7 as previously mentioned). By that time most folk will have f***ed off already." Oasis fans are buzzing with anticipation as the band is set to rock Murrayfield Stadium with three gigs this summer on August 8, 9 and 12. The much-awaited reunion tour marks the first time the Gallagher brothers will share the stage in 16 years, with the opening show set to take place in Cardiff on July 4.

Next offering Oasis inspired tees from £24 ahead of iconic band's reunion tour
The high street retailer is helping get devoted Oasis fans reunion tour ready ahead of next month. Oasis are officially back in the spotlight, delighting long term fans. With a highly anticipated reunion tour slated for next month, many will be counting down the days. Brothers, and co-founders of the beloved band, Liam and Noel Gallagher dropped the bombshell last summer that they would once again be joining the stage together for the Oasis Live '25 Tour that kicks off on July 4. With just over two weeks to go until the big day, those who were lucky enough to get tickets will need to start planning their outfit, and Next is offering a wide range of tees that play right into the returning '90s fashion trend. There's a wide range of styles that have been inspired by the iconic Britpop band, with this White/Black 90s Graphic Official License Oasis Band Relaxed Fit T-Shirt, £28, being one for women who are attending one of the gigs. Available in sizes XS to XL, this basic tee has been crafted from a pure cotton material and features a simple crew neckline. The simple design, that features the Oasis logo branded across the front, is ideal for pairing with vintage denims and even a bucket hat. Those who are maybe looking for something a touch more out there, the Oasis License Colour Block Graphic T-Shirt offers a striking yellow and brown colourway that will be sure to attract attention at summer festivals. Costing £28, has a little bit more stock available, as it has been designed in both regular and petite lengthways, with sizes ranging from a UK six to 26. Also made from a breathable pure cotton material, this particular tee inspired by the band boasts raglan sleeves, a simple crew neckline and a graphic print of the band's beloved 'Definitely, Maybe' album. Of course, it's not just merch for women, as Next is also stocking this Oasis Graphic Band 100 per cent Cotton T-Shirt, also featuring a graphic print of the band's debut album, for a budget-friendly £24. Unlike the previous option for women, this tee is available in a white colourway, with the graphic print being outlined in a vibrant green colourway. Available in sizes S to 3XL, it's another choice for fans looking to get tour ready. With three tour dates taking place at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium, something with longer sleeves might be better suited, which is why we think this £26 version might be a fast seller among Scots fans. Available in sizes XS to 2XL, this tee offers the same style as the previous ones before it, just with longer sleeves. Offering a small Oasis logo on the front, the back is adorned with a graphic print of the band's third studio album 'Be Here Now.' The good thing about many of these vintage-inspired tees? They can be paired with virtually anything. Not just trusty denims like we mentioned earlier, but also cargo pants and maybe a classic parka to really recreate that 90s vibe associated with the band. Fashion deal of the week Calling all fashion fans, as we have found the dress to compliment a golden, sun-kissed tan this summer. It's Roman's White Lace Bodice Shirred Midi Dress, and it looks perfect for any tropical getaways or beach holidays. Costing £38, it boasts a strap-style design, with a chic crochet overlay bodice and a flowing midi-length skirt. It's finished with a simple round neckline that can be easily layered with statement necklaces for those days it is being worn to fancier events, or for going out to dinner. While the white colourway is ideal for highlighting a summer tan, it is worth noting that shoppers can also purchase the midi frock in both pink and black, with sizes all of them being available in sizes 10 to 20. The strappy maxi dress has been the subject of glowing praise, as it has garnered a stellar five star rating from shoppers who say it "looks lovely with a suntan" and is "stunning" to wear. One delighted shopper said: "It's very flattering and looks lovely with a suntan." Get holiday ready by purchasing Roman's White Lace Bodice Shirred Midi Dress for £38 now. While many of us who grew up singing 'Champagne Supernova' and 'Wonderwall' may be all grown up, there may be a few little ones among us who are also becoming fans, with Next offering a selection of tops for them as well. From bucket hats and hoodies to branded graphic printed tees, the high street firm has something for new fans aged from eight months up until 16-years old, with prices ranging from £11 to £36. The entire collection of Oasis-branded merch is available to buy from Next ahead of next month's reunion tour now.

Taylor Swift fans offer top tip to Oasis concert goers to avoid travel chaos at Murrayfield
Oasis concert goers have been issued some advice by Taylor Swift fans on how to avoid the mayhem at Murrayfield when getting home from the gigs this summer Oasis concert goers have been offered some top tips from Taylor Swift fans when it comes to getting home from Murrayfield Stadium where the Gallagher brothers will perform for three nights in August on their Oasis Live 25' reunion tour. Liam and Noel Gallagher are set to take to the stage in Edinburgh on Friday August 8, Saturday August 9 and Tuesday August 12. While fans are excitedly counting down the weeks to the Oasis gigs, some have been left worrying about how they will get home from the stadium which holds a capacity of 67k people and will undoubtedly be full to the max. This is an issue that Taylor Swift fans remember all too well after the famous pop star played three nights at Murrayfield on her iconic Era's Tour last June. Fans who attended the gigs will recall the carnage that took place in the capital whilst trying to make their way to and from Edinburgh and it seems Oasis fans are now starting to worry about running into the same issue as they have been warned to stay away from Haymarket station. On a Reddit thread, titled ''People of Glasgow that are going to Oasis in Edinburgh, how are we getting home?'' one user opened up a conversation about how people that live outside the capital are planning on getting home from the Oasis gigs in August. The post read: "As per title, are people chancing being able to get a train home? A coach? A million pound taxi? I'm really not sure of the best plan of action..." One experienced Swiftie from Glasgow was on hand to issue their advice to the Oasis fan. They replied: "Tip from when I was at Taylor Swift last year. Everyone will be trying to get a train from Haymarket, and it'll be f***ing mobbed. "Head to Waverly (either via tram or just walk) and get on the train there, it'll be significantly quieter, and you'll likely get a table seat as well, rather than being stuck standing." Recent performances at Murrayfield include a show from Robbie Williams who kicked off his BRIT POP world tour in Edinburgh at the end of last month. One user who attended the Rock DJ star's gig replied to the thread with an alternative solution for getting home which Oasis fans might find handy. They wrote: "We were at Robbie Williams on Saturday and Citylink buses were pretty decent. "Drop you right outside the stadium and pick you up just a little bit further away be prepared for a bit of wait though because it's busy. "So the concert finished at 10:30 and we were on the bus by about 11:30. Another user chimed in: "The buses run 24 hours between Glasgow and Edinburgh. I don't think it will be that bad trying to get home via public transport." Someone else replied to this suggestion, stating: "Make sure to book the CityLink 900 and AIR buses ahead of time, they fill up quickly." Yet another person advised to take a similar route as they said: "Citylink run all night. Happy Bus run private coach transfers from Buchanan to the event and back." One other user has come up with their own unique way of making sure you make the bus as they penned: "Head to a club till you're completely knackered then head for a bus (they run 24/7 as previously mentioned). By that time most folk will have f***ed off already." Oasis are set to play three shows this summer at Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9 and 12. Their reunion tour comes as the first time the Gallagher brothers have been on stage together in 16 years and will kick off in Cardiff on July 4.
