Liam Gallagher tells fans to shut up after Oasis ticket prices spark investigation

Liam Gallagher has no interest in dealing with fans’ complaints, even as Ticketmaster comes under scrutiny for the “dynamic pricing” that has driven up Oasis ticket prices.

On Friday, the singer-songwriter made it clear that he expected a little more gratitude for finally being back together with his brother Noel after 15 years of separation.

“OASIS are back, you’re welcome, and I hear their ATTITUDE STINKS,” he wrote on X. “Good to know things never change, DAMN IT x”

When a fan complained that the band was “ripping off” fans with high ticket prices, Gallagher wrote, “SHUT UP.”

The “attitude” that is making Gallagher so angry is that of outraged fans who are upset about ticket availability for the band’s 2025 summer tour of the UK and Ireland.

The band have already made efforts to prevent bootleggers from dominating the Oasis ticket market. Last week they warned: “Tickets may ONLY be resold at face value,” adding: “Tickets sold in breach of terms and conditions will be cancelled by the promoters.” Nevertheless, seats with high resale prices are now appearing on secondary platforms such as StubHub and Viagogo.

However, fans also have a grudge against main ticket seller Ticketmaster, whose “dynamic pricing system” drives up the prices of tickets in high demand. Given the 15-year hiatus, Oasis immediately got in the way, charging up to £200 (about $260) for individual tickets, according to The Guardian.

Despite Gallagher’s angry post, Oasis announced on Saturday that select fans will have a second chance to snap up tickets thanks to a private raffle system. Those who signed up to Ticketmaster on August 31, queued for a specific date and still were unable to snap up tickets should have received an invitation to purchase tickets for additional dates at Wembley Stadium.

“Oasis has sent all eligible fans an email with instructions on how to register,” Ticketmaster wrote on X. “If you have not received this email, you are not eligible.”

Ticketmaster is also under fire from the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which announced on Thursday (5 September) that it has launched an investigation into whether Ticketmaster breached consumer protection laws with its “dynamic pricing”. The authority is looking into the company’s ticket sales for Oasis, including whether people were pressured to buy tickets at unexpected prices within a short period of time and whether buyers were given “clear and timely information” explaining what and how the dynamic pricing worked.

The brothers’ Oasis Live ’25 World Tour will see them play 14 shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin in July and August. The domestic tour includes four nights at Heaton Park in their hometown of Manchester and at London’s Wembley Stadium.

For fans outside of the UK and Ireland, the initial announcement already announced another leg of the tour, which will take the band “to other continents outside of Europe” next year.
