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.
For those hunting the premium experience, Seat Unique is offering more than just entry to the hottest events right now, from VIP to hospitality packages. By diving into this website's bountiful selection, music lovers can look forward to perks such as complimentary refreshments, early venue access, afterparty invites, and other exciting bonuses.

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."

Noel Gallagher's five-words of advice to daughter over music career unveiled
Noel Gallagher's eldest child, Anaïs, has revealed the rather brutal advice her Oasis legend dad gave her when she contemplated a career in the music industry Noel Gallagher's daughter had her chances of a career in music shot down by her famous dad. Model and photographer Anaïs, whom Noel shares with his first wife Meg Matthews, comes from a family of music legends, with her dad and uncle Liam Gallagher fronting the legendary band, Oasis. Her cousins Lennon and Gene are also musicians. Liam's eldest son, Lennon, 25, recently fronted the band Automotive until their split earlier this year. Gene, 23, is the frontman of Villanelle, who supported Liam on tour last year and has a new single out this summer. But 25-year-old Anaïs has no plans to follow in her relatives' footsteps. This isn't to say she didn't try it out when she was younger, though. The Londoner has revealed she once attempted to learn an instrument, but Noel, 58, dashed her hopes of carving out a career in the music industry. "I had a brief stint playing the cello when I was about 11," Anaïs said. Speaking to W Magazine, she went on to add: "It's safe to say there is not an inherent Gallagher musical gene. "My dad came to see a few of my recitals, and he swiftly was like, 'Maybe it's not for you." But while Anaïs didn't inherit the biblical music gene from her family, she is planning to be at every date of the upcoming Oasis Live'25 tour, which will see her dad and uncle perform together for the first time in 16 years. "I'm pre-prepping my liver now by drinking," she said. She went on to add: "I don't know, electrolytes. It should be a very fun summer. My plan is to be at every UK date, and my camera will be with me every step of the way." Although Anaïs won't be joining a family mega-group any time soon, her cousin Lennon recently revealed he'd love to be on stage with his dad, brother and Uncle Noel. He told the Associated Press: "Yeah, I mean, it'll be really fun one day for me and my brother, my dad and my uncle to be on-stage, I think that'd be quite funny." He has, however, already decided on what song he'd choose if the family were to ever join forces for a mega performance. "I'd like to do Be Here Now. That'd be pretty cool," he hinted. Reflecting on his memories of the band before their split in 2009, Lennon commented: "Yeah, yeah. I think the last memory I have of Oasis was going to one of their final shows when I was like eight." Speaking about how the family are preparing for the mammoth shows which kick off on July 4, Lennon said: "But yeah, the family right now, we're just hunkering down, getting ready for it to start (the tour). And, you know, we all cannot wait. It's going to be fantastic." But he's not too fussed on rehearsals, admitting: "Nah, I'm just letting him get on with that. I'll see it for the real thing when it starts." According to the official Principality Stadium website, doors open for the opening gig on July 4 at 5pm. Both support acts will be expected to play 30-45 minutes on stage, before the main event of Oasis, back on stage for the first time since 2009. Based on previous shows at the Principality Stadium, the main headline act normally ends around 10.20pm. Cast would therefore be on stage around 6.30, followed by Richard Ashcroft, with Oasis taking to the stage around 8pm. Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

Oasis spat with Edinburgh Council is more fun than going to their gig
Gallagher hit back with 'I'd love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council. Bet there's some real STUNNING individuals.' It's always great when celebs resort to caps; it reveals they are really irate. And we've all enjoyed the Oasis brothers' long-running spat, suspecting it's little more like a 15-year-old mump and that the pair would kiss each other's scratchy faces and make up just as soon as the ink was dry on the £100m performance contract. Read more But why do we really enjoy these feuds? We clearly love the theatre of it all, the unscripted (or sometimes scripted) bitching, we get to see the celebs with a real clarity; we see where their heads and their hearts truly are. And this insight helps determine our remote relationship with them. Don't we all love to see someone agree with what we've been thinking, when their truth coalesces with our truth? (Had to agree with Gallagher on this occasion. Local politics is politics is hardly overpopulated by those defined by a clean, healthy living regime.) And who could criticise Sir Rod's once machine gunning of Michelle Mone? "I think Michelle Mone is a nasty piece of work, I really do," he fumed. "She is a manipulative cow.' Except perhaps Mone's accountants, lawyers and family. As humans, we've long existed thanks to our learning what makes others tick, whether they have a Rolex Daytona personality – or that of a hastily made bomb. Wasn't the best part of Celebrity Big Brother centred on the times countless feuds feature? And isn't it great to be caught up in the heady discourse of debate, which almost becomes a TV game show in itself, whereby the terminal whiners with issues can be set up in front of a camera and proceed to whack each other about the head with rhetoric - and sometimes a little bit of bile. Remember the war of words between the US literary giants Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal, prompted by Vidal's unflattering comments about Mailer's book The Prisoner of Sex. Of course, we didn't enjoy it so much when the spat turned physical when Mailer later headbutted Vidal. Six years later, Mailer lamped him again, prompting Vidal's immortal line: 'As usual, words fail him.' Bette Davis (Image: free) And we won't forget the acid tongues of both Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, the movie stars who hated each other more than they hated losing the Vaseline on their spotlight. Crawford once put rocks in her pockets in preparation for a scene in which Davis had to drag her across a floor in the film Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Then Bette Davis taunted; 'Joan slept with every male star at MGM except Lassie.' Okay, I know what you're thinking; it's undignified to surrender to a little schadenfreude. But isn't seeing the more human side of celebrity useful, in that it that stops our aspirational fires burning to the point you can smell singeing? And don't we sometimes simply crave for a truth, which happens to coincide with our truth? Yes, Elton may have been a little unkind to label one-time chum Madonna a 'fairground stripper,' but who can argue he was wrong to take a pop when he described the Material Girl as a 'lip-syncing miserable cow,' who was charging a (then) whopping £75 to see her mouth the words to backing tracks? Read more Yet, you had to admire Madge's miaow of a reply, after turning down an invite to sing at Reg's wedding. 'Madonna wishes Elton all the best and hopes married life will make him a happier person.' Yet, we aren't always treated to clever bitchery, which is often about self-aggrandising behaviour. Did Louis Walsh have to continually refer to his former protégé Ronan Keating as 'the former shoe-shop worker? Did Mel Brown really have to claim a lesbian tryst with fellow Spicer Geri Horner? Could it have been about Brown's need to shift book sales rather than come out with her truth? Of course. But let's enjoy the little spats, nonetheless. They are wonderfully reductive, sometimes wise, often waspish. It's conflict, but not REAL conflict. And when the Beckhams or the Sussexes fall out with their families, we can take comfort that it's not just us muggles who are capable of that.
