For the Manchester shows on July 19 and 20, Airbnb rates are an eye-watering 370.7% higher than normal.
A one-night stay during the gigs averages £467.28, compared to just £99.28 the following week.
On July 19, the cost jumps even further to £558.52 - a staggering 401.7% increase.
Edinburgh isn't far behind.
Fans attending gigs on August 8, 9 and 12 will pay an average of £685.77 for a night, up 29.7% from the usual £528.67.
The priciest date overall is August 8, with rates hitting £724.92 for a single night.
SeatPick analysed Airbnb listings for two guests looking for an 'entire home' in the city centre, comparing prices on the tour date to those from the week before and after.
London fares much better, with minimal price hikes.
For shows on July 25, 26 and 30, and August 2 and 3, Airbnb rates rise just 2.8% on average.
In fact, there's even a slight drop in costs for the July 30 gig, with stays averaging £159.57 compared to £163.72 the week before.
Oasis launch shock football club partnership despite Liam and Noel Gallagher's dying love for Man City
It's not just Airbnb prices soaring - The Sun can reveal that hotels are ramping up their rates during the tour as well.
Manchester's Prestwich Premier Inn near Heaton Park is charging £349 for a night during the July 19 show but drops to £154 the following week.
In Edinburgh, a night at the City Centre Premier Inn costs £349 for the August 8 gig, compared to £309 the week after.
Meanwhile, London's Wembley Premier Inn charges £381 for the night of the July 25 show but plummets to just £78 the following week.
The Gallagher brothers made a triumphant return at the Principality stadium in Cardiff on July 4 after 15 years of feuding.
Fans were delighted by the comeback - but not so much by how much they had to pay for a drink.
Shocking pictures from inside the Cardiff stadium earlier this month revealed pint prices had climbed to a huge £8.20.
Pints of Heineken, Strongbow, Dark Fruits and Murphy's were all priced at this level, while half-pints were £4.10.
Even the no-alcohol Heineken 0.0 was £5.20 for a pint.

Oasis fans are expected to spend over £1billion across the 17-date UK tour.
The average fan is expected to spend £766 on tickets, travel, accommodation, and merchandise, according to Barclays.
The tour, tipped to be the most profitable in UK history, will see 1.4million gig-goers attend shows nationwide, boosting local business sales.
Fans have embraced 90s nostalgia, turning up in bucket hats, parkas, and Oasis-themed outfits.
But merchandise prices have sparked anger online, with fans calling them a "cash cow".
Items like a £10 keyring, £85 Adidas football shirt, and £70 hoodie were among the priciest at the Cardiff venue.
When tickets went on sale last summer, fans queued on Ticketmaster for up to 12 hours.
Ticketmaster is now facing legal action for charging £350 for seats worth £150, misleading fans during the sale.
Twickets and Ticketmaster's resale site are still selling a limited number of tickets at their original price, plus fees.
Last month, the Home Office warned gig-goers that £1.6million was lost to ticket fraud in 2024.

In a statement, the force continued: "A man - aged in his 40s - was found with injuries consistent with a fall. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene." Reports suggest the man fell from Wembley's upper tier, according to Sky News. LONDON WEMBLEY NIGHT THREE 30.07.25#OasisLive25 The statement continued: "The stadium was busy, and we believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage. "If you have any information that could help us to confirm what happened, please call 101." Last week, Oasis dedicated one of their hits to the late rocker Ozzy Osbourne as they made a triumphant return to London for a series of gigs as part of their world tour. After Oasis' final London concert on August 3, the group will move north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium before performing at Dublin's Croke Park. The band will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. Formed in Manchester in 1991, the band was led by lead guitarist Noel and lead vocalist Liam during their 18 years together. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994. They had hits with songs including Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Live Forever. Dig Out Your Soul, the band's last studio album, was released in 2008, just months before the Paris row.

Vanessa Redgrave, 88, hailed as ‘national treasure' after rare appearance
Vanessa Redgrave has been praised for turning up to a protest addressing the ongoing starvation crisis in Gaza. In recent weeks there has been increased international attention on the suffering of civilians in Gaza, with photos of starving Palestinians, including babies, emerging. With aid agencies issuing stark warnings about the desperate situation on the ground, there's been a public outcry for intervention in the conflict, which is about to enter its third year. Although Israel has denied any responsibility for what experts have now called a famine, it controls the flow of all aid into the enclave and has been blamed by agencies, including Doctors Without Borders and Oxfam International, for 'restrictions, delays and fragmentation' for 'chaos, starvation and death'. Over the weekend, more protests occurred across the world calling for action, including in London, where Redgrave, a long-time supporter of Palestine, was spotted. On Friday evening the Pots and pans for Palestine protest was held at the Lambeth Town Hall in Brixton, with attendees asked to 'bang pots and pans to echo the hunger faced by Palestinians trapped under blockade'. The demonstration – organised by Lambeth and Southwark for Palestine and West Norwood 4 Palestine – was part of a UK-wide day of action, with the acclaimed actress photographed taking part. Photos taken at the event show the 88-year-old in a wheelchair holding a spoon and pan. Sharing it on social media, photographer Misan Harriman wrote: 'I burst into tears when I saw this image of our national treasure, Vanessa Redgrave, still fighting for us to recognise the humanity of Palestinians 46 years after her Oscars speech. She has endured so much for this cause, but she still shows her solidarity in London today! 'Unfiltered humanity, perseverance, and empathy in one soul. 'Thank you sincerely, Vanessa; you are a real one!' he added, also tagging her daughter Joely Richardson. 'Oh!!!! THIS is phenomenal!!!!!!!' Annie Lennox commented. 'Stunning! Thank you Vanessa,' Paloma Faith wrote. 'She is an amazing human being,' Rosie O'Donnell added. Many others praised Redgrave's long-standing activism and 'moral backbone to speak truth to power'. In 1977, Redgrave produced and starred in a controversial documentary film, The Palestinian, about the activities of the Palestine Liberation Organization. She funded the film by selling her house, but faced fierce backlash from some, with one screening of the film even being hit by a bomb. The following year Redgrave, whose career has spanned six decades and seen her win an Academy Award, a Tony Award, two Primetime Emmy Awards and an Olivier Award, won the Oscar for best actress in a supporting role for her part in the drama Julia. After she paid tribute to the film's writer, she ended her speech with a message directed to the Palestinian people: 'And I salute you, and I pay tribute to you, and I think you should be very proud that in the last few weeks you've stood firm, and you have refused to be intimidated by the threats of a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums. 'I salute you and I thank you and I pledge to you that I will continue to fight against anti-Semitism and fascism.' More Trending Redgrave had been referring to the extremists of the Jewish Defense League who had offered a bounty to have her killed. Throughout her career Vanessa has also participated in anti-Vietnam War protests, served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, launched the Peace and Progress Party and in 2017 made her directorial debut with the movie Sea Sorrow, a documentary about the European migrant crisis and the plight of migrants encamped outside Calais, France, trying to reach Britain. In 2018 she told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I had to do my bit. Everybody had to do their bit, to try and change things for the better. To advocate for what's right and not be dismayed if immediately you don't see results.' Got a story?

Man dies after falling at Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium
A man has died after falling during an Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium. Witnesses described the 'horrendous' scenes after the man fell from an upper tier during the band's reunion tour on Saturday. The Metropolitan Police have said that the man was aged in his 40s. Despite the tragic events on Saturday, organisers said the band's performance on Sunday will 'go ahead as planned'. In a statement the Metropolitan Police said: 'A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall. 'He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. 'The stadium was busy and we believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage. 'If you have any information that could help us to confirm what happened, please call 101.' A witness told the Daily Mail: 'It was horrendous. 'The guy fell from a balcony. Paramedics came rushing over. There was a lot of screaming and shouting. 'It was a big fall. God knows how it happened. It was so tragic. I don't know how on Earth it happened. 'It was heartbreaking. He was only young.' The fall happened during the latest in a run of stadium shows for the band's sell-out Live '25 reunion tour – their first since splitting in 2009. Wembley Stadium said their concert on Sunday night will still be going ahead. A spokesperson said: 'Last night, Wembley Stadium medics, the London Ambulance Service and the police attended to a concert-goer who was found with injuries consistent with a fall. 'Despite their efforts, the fan very sadly died. Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers. 'The police have asked anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them. 'Tonight's Oasis concert will go ahead as planned.'
