No one’s ‘Part of the Queue’: Oasis have scrapped the general onsale for Live ’27. Here’s 5 things to know.

Oasis will play 38 stadium shows in 2027. There will be no general onsale for any of them.

The only public route to a ticket was a registration window that opened at oasisinet.com on Monday (September 14) and closed on Thursday (September 17) at 4pm BST.

UK standard prices are fixed between GBP £71.50 and £266.60 including fees, and resale is held to the price paid.

Two years ago, the Live ’25 onsale pulled 10 million people into a queue, triggered a UK Competition and Markets Authority investigation, and ended with promoters moving to cancel more than 50,000 tickets.

Here are five things to know about what Oasis have changed, and why.

1. The registration was not a presale. It was the entire sale.

Successful applicants are picked at random and emailed a code between September 24 and Sunday, September 27, according to Ticketmaster.

“Fans who are successful will be sent a unique, non-transferable code to access an allocated onsale window,” the Oasis Live ’27 announcement said.

UK buying windows run across September 25, 26, and 27, three per day, and each code works for one city and one time slot only.

Registrants could name up to three cities in order of preference, could enter only once, and can buy a maximum of four tickets per code.

“The registration process is the only public way to buy tickets for Oasis Live ’27,” the announcement said, adding that the structure was designed “to reduce queuing times and organised ticket touting in order to give genuine fans the best possible chance to buy tickets.”

Neither stage carries a guarantee. Ticketmaster says registering does not guarantee a code, and a code does not guarantee a ticket. It also says limited tickets may be released at a later date.

2. Fixed pricing answers the row that followed the last onsale.

Every price on the tour is set in advance, and Ticketmaster has published them venue by venue.

Seated tickets at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium run at £74.60, £107.60, £173.60, £206.60, and £266.60 including fees, with standing at £173.60 and £206.60.

That is a deliberate break from August 2024, when some buyers paid more than £350 for tickets first listed at £150.

Oasis disowned that outcome days later, in a statement issued on September 4, 2024 alongside two extra Wembley dates sold by ballot.

“It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used.

“While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations.”

The CMA investigation that followed alleged, in March 2025, that Ticketmaster had sold some “platinum” tickets at almost 2.5 times the price of standard ones without adequately explaining that they carried no extra benefits over some standard tickets in the same areas of the venue.

The watchdog also alleged that fans were not told there were two standing categories at different prices, with the cheaper batch sold through before the more expensive one was released.

The CMA closed the probe in September 2025 having found no evidence of dynamic pricing, and after securing undertakings from Ticketmaster on clearer pricing information – given, the watchdog said, without any admission of wrongdoing or liability.

“We welcome the CMA’s confirmation there was no dynamic pricing, no unfair practices and that we did not breach consumer law,” Ticketmaster said at the time, adding that its commitments on clearer queue pricing were given voluntarily.

3. Resale is walled off – and the barcodes are being held back.

Tickets can be resold only at the original price paid, through Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange or, in the UK, Twickets.

Anything bought on resale also counts toward the four-ticket cap, closing the route by which touts accumulate stock.

The sharper mechanism is delivery. “So that we can confirm everyone has adhered to the ticket limits and did not break the rules of sale, barcodes for your tickets won’t be delivered immediately to your Ticketmaster Account,” the tour’s Ticketmaster help page says.

A ticket with no barcode is close to unsellable on viagogo or StubHub, which is the point.

The template is proven. In 2024, Live Nation and SJM moved to cancel more than 50,000 Oasis tickets that had surfaced on unauthorized resale sites – roughly 4% of the sale, against the up to 20% the promoters said some major tours see.

Ticketmaster used the same delivery delay on the 2023 onsale for Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS World Tour, withholding tickets until 72 hours before each show. In August it canceled a batch of tickets to Rodrigo’s The Unraveled Tour that breached purchase terms, reissuing them to fans at the original prices.

4. Live ’25 grossed more than USD $405m. That is the business being protected.

Pollstar ranked Oasis Live ’25 the second highest-grossing worldwide tour of 2025, at an estimated USD $405,428,435.

That covered 2,228,471 tickets across the 36 dates inside the chart’s eligible period, at an average ticket price of USD $181.93, per Pollstar. The full run was 41 shows – the five South American dates that closed it in November 2025 fell outside the chart.

Demand was never the constraint. More than 10 million fans from 158 countries queued for the UK and Ireland onsale in August 2024, against 1.4 million tickets available.

Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino later described it as the biggest onsale in history, and said Ticketmaster was hit by “multi billions” of bots. Listings reached £11,000 on viagogo and £119,000 on StubHub within hours.

Live ’27 is a larger UK proposition than its predecessor, built around 11 nights at the Etihad, five at Glasgow’s Celtic Park, and four at Knebworth – the band’s first there since 1996.

Registration hands that inventory to buyers Oasis can identify, at prices set months in advance.

5. The UK’s touting ban still isn’t law.

Ministers announced plans in November 2025 to outlaw resale above original cost, defined as face value plus unavoidable fees.

The package would also cap resale platforms’ service fees, stop individuals reselling more tickets than they bought, and save fans around GBP £112 million a year, on the government’s own estimate.

It surfaced in the King’s Speech in May 2026 only as a draft Ticket Tout Ban Bill subject to further consultation, with final legislation potentially years away.

So Oasis are doing contractually what Parliament has not yet done statutorily.

The regulator is working the fees question instead. StubHub UK was fined GBP £889,200 in June for hiding mandatory charges until checkout, and a parallel CMA case against viagogo remains open.

Live Nation and Ticketmaster are separately contesting an April 2026 Manhattan jury verdict, won by 33 states and the District of Columbia after the DOJ settled a week into the trial, that found they had run an illegal monopoly. The verdict stands while the court weighs their post-trial motions.

Richard Ashcroft will be a special guest at all 38 shows.

“START THE CELEBRATIONS!!!!” Oasis said in the announcement. “After a period of reflection ‘The Most Damaging Pop Cultural Force In Recent British History’ has declared itself fit for purpose and will once again return to lift the spirits of the people.

“Come witness the fitness. It shall be a sight to behold.”
