Airbnb costs near the band's tour stops have soared, with Manchester and Edinburgh seeing the worst price hikes, according to ticket comparison site SeatPick.

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.

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.

Aldi permanently changes name of store in a move shoppers are calling 'biblical'
There's a major change afoot for an Aldi store in Greater Manchester, which is getting a permanent new name: Aldeh. In honour of the Oasis reunion, and the Mancunian accent, the budget retailer changed the name of its Prestwich store, near to Heaton Park where the iconic band is playing its homcoming gigs. The tribute was only meant to be temporary, but it turns out people were 'mad fer it' and it's now set to stay in place for good. The sign had fans queuing up outside the supermarket for selfies and a petition was launched by Manchester local Ella Curtis to keep the rebrand, which was backed by Bury MP Christian Wakefield and received over 1,300 signatures. 'What started as a nod to a special reunion quickly took on a life of its own. The rebrand resonated with people across Manchester and beyond,' she wrote. 'Photos of the sign went viral because it tapped into something meaningful: pride in where we're from, and in what this city has given the world. In short, Prestwich got its own Blue Plaque.' The sign has since been listed on Google Maps as a cultural landmark, alongside a string of five-star reviews. One visitor declared it 'the Stonehenge of a generation', while one person dubbed it 'Biblical' (as Liam Gallagher would say). 'Went in for some milk and bread, came out with a renewed sense of Mancunian pride,' another wrote. Aldi previously teased fans on social media about making the sign a permanent fixture. 'Boss said we also need 10,000 likes and a comment from one of the Gallaghers,' the Facebook post read. Liam Gallagher himself was on board with the name change, sharing a picture of the 'Aldeh' sign on his Instagram. The rebrand was also supported by Noel's daughter Anais, who commented on Aldi's TikTok post in support. And, with the Facebook post receiving over 15,000 likes, Aldi had no choice but to keep the sign. Giles Hurley, chief executive officer at Aldi UK, confirmed the move on LinkedIn. 'Last week, a petition was launched by a local resident calling for us to keep the sign. More Trending 'So naturally, we took to social media to see what our shoppers thought, turns out… people are mad for it and want the sign to stay. 'I'm pleased to announce that we'll be keeping the Aldeh sign as a tribute to Manchester! As you were.' Julie Ashfield, Aldi's chief commercial officer, added: 'We've been blown away by the public's reaction to 'Aldeh'. What started as a fun, temporary tribute to Oasis and the local accent has turned into something far bigger. 'We've heard shoppers loud and clear and we're absolutely delighted to keep the sign up for the long haul.' Do you have a story to share?

Ellen DeGeneres explains why she's selling her UK home after a year
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are selling their luxurious Cotswolds farm estate for $30 million, less than a year after moving from the US. The couple, known for house flipping, purchased the property for $20 million in spring 2024 and undertook extensive renovations, completing them in under five months. They are selling the estate, known as Kitesbridge Farm, to find a home better suited for their animals, particularly Portia de Rossi's horses. DeGeneres revealed that their move to the English countryside in November 2024 was prompted by the US election, specifically the re-election of Donald Trump. The 43-acre property, originally built in the 1700s, features seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a party barn, a fitness centre, and a two-bedroom guest house.
