Oasis fans secure tickets in final-chance sale

Lucky Oasis fans from the West Midlands have described their delight at securing tickets to see Oasis on their reunion tour, after missing out the first time.

Colin Broadbent, from Wolverhampton, and Sam, from Staffordshire, got tickets to see the band in 2025 on Saturday morning, in a final-chance sale for fans.

Thousands were angered last month when they queued for hours with no success, were quoted high "dynamic prices", and saw tickets re-sold for upwards of £6,000.

"I was done and ordered in just over 10 minutes," said Mr Broadbent, 43.

"This time the process was much, much smoother and I was only 4,200 in the queue instead of 170,000."

He spent nine hours queuing for pre-sale tickets in August, and now will get to see the band live with his wife at Wembley.

"I'm very happy I've managed to secure tickets at last," he said.

"As an Oasis fan, I thought the day would never happen when they would get back together."

The additional tickets were for fans that missed out in the initial sales.

Sam, 39, spent seven hours queuing in August, before dropping out without tickets to the Heaton Park show, due to inflated prices.

He said he was "ecstatic" to finally be seeing them, after last watching them at their final gig at V Festival in Shropshire in 2009.

"The band are in a precarious position," he said.

He added that demand to see Oasis was "amplified" due to the potential of "something explosive" happening at any moment.

"I know I don't want to see a version of Oasis that isn't giving 100%, so we really have to accept that supply is limited."
