Dublin is cheapest city to see Oasis reunion but total cost still eye-watering
Any Irish Oasis fans hoping to snap up last-minute tickets won't be stuck breaking the bank, as Dublin was declared the cheapest spot to watch the sell-out tour compared to any of their UK dates.
New research has shown that it's 20 per cent cheaper to catch the Cigarettes and Alcohol hitmakers in the Irish capital, when compared to UK tour cities; including Manchester, London and Edinburgh next month.
The total cost for the 17 August concert in Dublin is €1,399, including resale tickets (€1,030) and hotel accommodation (€369), compared to the average €1,749 it costs across other dates.
Resale tickets and hotel prices were factored into the research from digital marketing and PR agency Tank to work out which tour cities are the priciest and cheapest to watch the reunion.
The most expensive city to watch Oasis perform is London, with average costs of €2,409, including resale tickets (€1,877) and a hotel for the night (€532).
When the tickets went on sale last August, fans complained over Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing, where prices increase with demand, meaning some tickets more than doubled in price. Resale scams also saw fans lose up to €2m since the tickets went on sale last year.
Following Dublin, Manchester on 20 July is the second cheapest city to watch the reunion tour costing €1,531.10 on average. While resale tickets are pricey at €1,200, the average hotel cost is lower at €329 due to the only available rooms being outside a one-mile radius of the tour venue.
Edinburgh on 8 August is the third cheapest, with average resale tickets costing just €1,025 but hotel rooms pricier at €560.
After London, Cardiff is the most expensive city to watch Oasis on July 4. Fans could pay €2,048 on average, with resale tickets costing €1,145 and accommodation surprisingly high at €903.

'Ryanair refused to let us board flight to Ireland claiming we needed visas'
A family from Ireland has alleged they were denied boarding on a Ryanair flight from London to Dublin after being wrongly told they needed a visa to enter Ireland from the UK. Christina Finn and her husband Cameron had jetted off to London from Belfast on Friday for a CBeebies event with their five-month-old son and were returning from Stansted to Dublin with the budget airline when they were turned away. Christina recounted that trouble started when they couldn't check in for their return flight online. "We had flown to London on Friday morning from Belfast for a meeting with the BBC, and we were to fly home from London to Dublin and then get the bus up to Belfast as that was the cheapest option, and it is something we would do all the time," she shared. Travelling with their unwell five-month-old baby who needs medication twice daily, Christina stressed the importance of getting home early, reports Belfast Live. She continued, "When we went to check in on the app, it wouldn't let me click through to our booking at all and I thought the issue was with my phone so when we got to the airport, we had to check in at the desk where we then had to pay a fine for not checking in online." After coughing up the fine, Christina mentioned that Ryanair staff requested to see their passports, and she explained that they had travelled over with easyJet using their driving licences but also had their recently expired passports on hand. "My husband has an Irish passport and I have a British one which have both recently expired. With the baby due, we were waiting until he was born to renew them so that we could just do it at the same time. We informed the staff that we had flown over on our driving licences so he took them away and came back with a man who told us that because my husband has an expired Irish passport, he would be allowed on the flight to Dublin but as my passport was a British one they couldn't let me on the plane. "The staff informed me that as a UK citizen I would need a visa to travel to Ireland as it is in the EU and I tried to explain to them that that wouldn't apply due to the Common Travel Area. I told him that we lived in Northern Ireland and he then questioned how I had a British passport and couldn't seem to understand that it was a pretty common thing for people to fly to Dublin then travel on to Belfast. He also said that we would need to have evidence that we had booked onward travel from Dublin to Belfast. "As I questioned it, he said that he was speaking to someone on the phone who told him that if they let us on the plane and if we arrived in Dublin we would be stopped at passport control and the airline would be fined between £500 and £1000 for allowing me on the plane without a valid passport." Christina revealed that the staff member advised the only solution to their problem would be to book a new direct flight to Belfast, which would cost them €580. "We had to borrow the money from my mum for the flights and while I was on the phone to her she looked up the Government website which stated that you did not need a passport or visa to travel between the UK and Ireland. She sent me a screenshot of this which I showed to the man and he said he would look into it then he walked away. "I decided to ring the British embassy in Dublin who directed me to call the Irish embassy in London and the woman on the phone was horrified. She said that there was no requirement for people to have a passport for travelling between the UK and Ireland and that there was also no need for a visa. "However, she explained that Ryanair could have its own policy requiring travellers to have a passport." Christina felt the entire ordeal made her feel like a "second-class citizen". A spokesperson for Ryanair remarked: "In accordance with Ryanair's TandC's, which these passengers agreed to at the time of booking, these passengers failed to check-in online before arriving at London Stansted Airport (5 June). Therefore, these passengers were correctly asked to pay the required airport check-in fee (£55 per passenger), however refused to do so, and became aggressive towards the agents at the check in desk at London Stansted Airport. "All passengers travelling with Ryanair agree to check-in online before arriving at their departure airport and all passengers are sent an email reminding them to do so 24hrs before departure. "These passengers were subsequently correctly denied boarding to this flight from London Stansted to Dublin (5 June) as these passengers' passports did not meet the requirements for travel as both passports had expired in 2024. "It is each passenger's responsibility to ensure that their passport is valid for travel in line with the relevant State requirements at the time of travel. These requirements are clearly set out on and passengers are reminded with pop-up messages during booking. Passengers travelling between Ireland and the UK are required to carry a valid passport for travel. Therefore, as these passengers did not present a valid passport for this flight from London Stansted to Dublin Airport, they were correctly denied boarding."

TV Review: An Ghig Mhór sees John Spillane offer The Donnys some tough love
There is a bit of a niggle in the first episode of An Ghig Mhór (RTÉ One and RTÉ Player). The idea is an experienced success story on the Irish music scene mentors a young artist or band, as they prepare for their first big gig. The opening episode has Cork's John Spillane keeping an eye on Kilkenny band The Donnys. The Donnys: "To show the band their '70s rock vibe would appeal to people who grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, Spillane (or more likely the show producers) decided they should visit, wait for it, a group of Irish soldiers who served overseas with the U.N." It works because they don't exactly get on. This isn't a Cork and Kilkenny clash. It's a generation thing. Spillane has been in the music business for 43 years. The keyboard in The Donnys is too young to drive himself to rehearsals. There is a bit of a class tension as well. The Donnys seem a bit posh, they don't really have an accent. No one would accuse John Spillane of lacking an accent. So when they tell him they have put up five posters for their debut gig in a Kilkenny night-club, he calls them lazy and says it should be 50. Next thing you know Spillane is handing out flyers to middle-aged men in Kilkenny with the band watching on muttering that most of their fanbase is young and online. It's all starting to sour between mentor and Donnys. John Spillane, onstage at the Lord Mayor's Civic, Culture Community & Voluntary, and Culture Awards Ceremony 2025: a different world from Ireland's indie and rock venues. Picture: Larry Cummins ROCK 'N' ROLL ADVISORY To show the band their '70s rock vibe would appeal to people who grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, Spillane (or more likely the show producers) decided they should visit, wait for it, a group of Irish soldiers who served overseas with the U.N. The Donnys: "They are probably going to make it with or without advice from John Spillane." This was the only misstep in the show – it felt like the veterans were hanging around from another documentary, possibly about Irish people who served overseas with the U.N., and RTÉ decided to get a bit more value out of them. In fairness, time spent with some peacekeepers seemed to break some of the ice between Spillane and the band, and it was all systems go in the run up to the big gig. The Donnys were unreal when it came to showtime, lashing into the rock god cliches, with topless lead-singers and guitar solos in front of some admiring girls. Spillane (who gives great telly) is well impressed, saying he didn't expect them to be this good. In fairness, it wasn't really their first big gig, a quick Google shows they have played support slots with The Undertones and The Stunning. They are probably going to make it with or without advice from John Spillane. But this show is well worth it for Spillane's no-filter take on life, along with a reminder you don't really want rock and roll stars taking advice from their elders.
