Fans fume as Oasis tickets CANCELLED in major crackdown ahead of reunion tour
There are less than five months to go before Liam and Noel Gallagher take to the stage for the long-awaited Oasis reunion. The Manchester legends start their global sell-out tour, Oasis Live '25, at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4.
They then return home to Manchester, with five dates at Heaton Park in July, before playing other shows across the UK, Ireland, Australia, Asia, North and South America, in a tour which ends in November.
It will be the first time Noel and Liam have performed together since Oasis split back in 2009, and there were times over those 16 years that it seemed the reunion would never happen. There is huge excitement for this year's comeback tour as a result, and ticket websites are trying to go the extra mile to stamp out 'bots' and touts.

Ticketmaster and See Tickets have now begun to cancel tickets which they believe have been resold in an unauthorised way, potentially at massive profits. The companies say that, since Friday (February 7), these tickets are being refunded.
However, some fans claim they are having tickets cancelled incorrectly. A post on the Oasis Mania fan account on X said: "Ticketmaster has begun cancelling tickets in an attempt to crackdown on bots, but many fans are claiming that their tickets were wrongfully targeted."
A number of angry tweets have been posted by ticketholders who have been issued refunds. One US-based Oasis fan wrote: "Let me get this straight, I'm being punished by @TicketmasterUK for being a dedicated fan that is literally flying to London for @oasis?
"I stayed up until 1AM PST to sit in the queue to buy these during presale for godsake. Don't sit here and tell me I'm a bot @TicketmasterCS"
Another fan wrote: "@TicketmasterUK @oasis How come tickets are wrongfully cancelled? They were legitimately bought through presale with a code and certainly not by a bot?! Please get in touch to fix this immediately. Inacceptable disgrace!"
A third said: "I've been a fan for almost 20 years, yet my tickets were cancelled, all @TicketmasterUK is doing is leaving real fans out despite getting our tickets fairly, please do better!!" A fourth added: "If 2025 could actually get any worse - now I don't even have this to look forward to any more. Denying legit fans their tickets??"
Ticketholders who are affected by the issue are being emailed to say their tickets are being refunded. Official tickets will be offered for resale on the Twickets platform.
A Ticketmaster spokesperson told the Manchester Evening News: "All details can be found on Ticketmaster and/or See Tickets FAQ pages. As per the email communications sent by both Ticketmaster and See Tickets, anyone who has been contacted and believes a refund was made in error has been sent a form to fill in for the tour's promoters to review."
A post on both the Ticketmaster and See Tickets websites reads: "Following the messaging on the artist's social media in the run up to the Oasis Live '25 on sale, the tour's promoters have advised that ticket agents Ticketmaster and See Tickets will, from February 7, start the process of refunding tickets that are believed to have broken the terms and conditions put in place for the tour.
"These terms and conditions were successfully put in place to take action against the reselling of tickets through unauthorised secondary ticketing companies at grossly inflated prices for huge profit. The examination of ticket sales is ongoing and the results will be passed to relevant law enforcement once complete where appropriate.
"Refunded tickets will be made available again at face value in due course from the official ticket agent Ticketmaster. All parties involved with the tour continue to urge fans not to purchase tickets from unauthorised websites as some of these may be fraudulent and others subject to refunding.
"If fans do want to sell (or buy) Oasis tickets at face value they can do so through Ticketmaster or the band's official resale partner Twickets. For ticket purchasers who believe they have had tickets refunded in error, refer to the email sent by the relevant agent when informed."

Seann William Scott's Estranged Wife Claims He's Only Selling House Because of Her New Relationship
American Pie star Seann William Scott's plans to sell his house allegedly 'blindsided' his estranged wife, Olivia Korenberg, according to new court documents. Korenberg, 35, filed to modify the pair's custody and child support arrangement of daughter Frankie, 4, on Tuesday, June 3. She argued that Scott's previous motions in their divorce case contained 'numerous false statements,' including one regarding his attempts to sell their family home in California. 'When Seann emailed me on December 1, 2024, regarding his intent to sell the S. Drive home, I was completely blindsided,' Korenberg claimed in her court filing, obtained by Us Weekly. 'In the same email, he provided me with less than a month's notice to apply to private schools during a period of major instability where I had no idea where we would relocate or what I could afford.' Korenberg further alleged that Scott, 48, did not advise that he 'intended on selling his Malibu home and relocating to Venice.' Seann William Scott's Ex Claims He Wants to Evict Her, Daughter From Malibu Home 'Further, Seann states that his move was motivated by a desire to improve his commute, not by any consideration for Frankie's well-being — which speaks volumes regarding Seann's priorities,' she claimed. 'Seann, through his counsel, repeatedly emphasized that Frankie and I could remain in the S. Drive home until Frankie was 18 years old, yet our sudden eviction completely ignores Frankie's well-being and stability.' Korenberg believes that Scott's sudden desire to move and sell their Malibu house was 'wholly motivated by [her] new romantic relationship.' Scott filed for divorce in February 2024, with Korenberg alleging that he was still 'making romantic advances' toward her until October 2024. (Scott has not publicly addressed any of Korenberg's recent claims. Us has reached out for comment.) Celebrity Exes Who Lived Together Post-Split, Because Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix Aren't the Only Ones Scott and Korenberg currently alternate custody of Frankie every two days, which the interior designer claims 'lacks stability and structure.' 'As Frankie grows, she will require a consistent educational routine and secure home base. His claim that he should be the primary custodian is not credible given his limited involvement in Frankie's daily life and unpredictable work schedule,' Korenberg's docs state. 'Most importantly, it would cause tremendous trauma to Frankie, who has a strong attachment to me and a clear preference for me, particularly when she is sick or in distress.' While Korenberg doesn't question Scott's 'affection' for their daughter, she maintains that she should be the primary parent. 'Furthermore, I have made consistent efforts to facilitate positive coparenting, in contrast to Seann's lack of reciprocal efforts,' she argues. '[It] demonstrates my greater inclination and ability to maintain a healthy coparenting relationship with Seann if I were permitted to move a further distance from Seann.'

Netflix (NasdaqGS:NFLX) Enters Creative Partnership With India's Ekta Kapoor For New Series
Netflix recently announced a long-term creative collaboration with Telefilms Ltd., led by renowned Indian creator Ekta Kapoor, aimed at developing a variety of projects for streaming audiences. Over the last quarter, Netflix's stock price increased by 39%, significantly outperforming the broader market, which rose by 2%. The company's remarkable quarterly earnings with improved sales and profits likely contributed to this rise. Additionally, its ongoing share buyback program further bolstered investor confidence. While these developments supported its upward trajectory, Netflix's stock rise was in stark contrast to the relatively modest market increase, highlighting its exceptional performance. Buy, Hold or Sell Netflix? View our complete analysis and fair value estimate and you decide. Diversify your portfolio with solid dividend payers offering reliable income streams to weather potential market turbulence. Netflix's recent collaboration with Telefilms Ltd. could enhance its content portfolio, particularly by tapping into the growing Indian market. This agreement is likely to support Netflix's goal of expanding its global content strategy and potentially boost revenue and profit margins. Such initiatives might align with analysts' expectations of a 12% annual revenue growth over the next few years. Over the past three years, Netflix's total shareholder return was very large, underscoring its robust long-term performance. This period has seen significant outperformance relative to shorter-term gains when compared to the broader market's annual increase of 12.6% over the last year. In the same one-year period, Netflix's stock rose more than twice as much as the broader market, highlighting its impressive performance against industry benchmarks. The forecasted increase in ad revenue and gaming expansion could significantly drive future earnings, potentially increasing Netflix's earnings forecast from US$9.27 billion to as high as US$16.1 billion by 2028. However, these ambitious goals come amidst economic risks and competition, as highlighted in the narrative. Recent price movements see Netflix's stock trading at US$1137.69, with a modest 3.7% discount to the consensus price target of US$1096.58. This suggests that analysts, on average, consider Netflix fairly valued, factoring in the company's growth prospects and risks.
