Ex-Ireland footballer shares free Oasis ticket hack after meeting Liam Gallagher
Former Republic of Ireland footballer Cillian Sheridan has revealed his brilliant Oasis ticket trick after claiming he successfully secured one for one of the band's gigs at Murrayfield in Scotland. The ex-Hoops forward, who currently turns out for Scottish Highland League side Brechin City, has revealed how he took a punt when he randomly encountered Liam Gallagher following a round of golf. The Cavan native bumped into the legendary Oasis frontman in the car park of Gleneagles Hotel, where the Rock 'n' Roll icon was residing during his Scottish visit. Rather than requesting a snap with the music legend, Sheridan had different plans and there was only one thing occupying his thoughts. Revealing his Masterplan on X, he posted: "Here's my hack to Oasis tickets. Go for a round of golf in the morning, on your way back to your car bump into Liam Gallagher at his hotel. Here's the important bit. DON'T ask for a photo, instead chance your arm and ask for a ticket! Not how I thought my day would pan out! Legend!" Sheridan managed to slip in at the eleventh hour and claims he caught one of the Edinburgh performances of the Oasis Live 25 tour, reports the Daily Record.

Massive anthems including Don't Look Back in Anger, Roll With It and Champagne Supernova had their first airing since 2009, as devotees of all ages celebrated in the capital. And Sheridan can consider himself amongst the fortunate few who managed to secure those precious tickets. He posted a photograph from within the Scottish rugby headquarters which displayed his remarkable view of the stage as Noel Gallagher performed a track. Oasis played three gigs in the Scottish capital ahead of this weekend's shows in Dublin. They play Croke Park on Saturday and Sunday, with tickets for both nights selling out in less than a day. It will be Oasis' first time playing in Ireland since 2008 and the sun is set to shine down on concertgoers at GAA Headquarters. Highs of up to 25 degrees and beyond are forecast every day between Thursday and next Monday, August 18.

The former Hoops striker who now plies his trade at Highland League Club Brechin City has revealed how he chanced his arm when he randomly met Liam Gallagher after a round of golf. Ex-Celtic player Cillian Sheridan has shared his very own Oasis ticket hack after he claimed he managed to blag tickets for one of the bands shows at Murrayfield. The former Hoops striker who now plies his trade at Highland League club Brechin City has revealed how he chanced his arm when he randomly met Liam Gallagher after a round of golf. The Irishman came face-to-face with the iconic Oasis frontman in the car park of Gleneagles Hotel where the Rock 'n' Roll star was staying throughout his time in Scotland. Rather than asking for a photo with the rock legend, Sheridan had other ideas and there was only thing on his mind. Sharing his Masterplan on X, he said: "Here's my hack to Oasis tickets. Go for a round of golf in the morning, on your way back to your car bump into Liam Gallagher at his hotel. Here's the important bit. DON'T ask for a photo, instead chance your arm & ask for a ticket! Not how I thought my day would pan out! Legend!" Sheridan was able to squeeze in at the last minute and claims he was able to catch one of the Edinburgh shows of the Oasis Live 25 tour. Around 200,000 fans packed into Murrayfield over three Supersonic nights in the capital. Huge hits including Don't Look Back in Anger, Roll With It and Champagne Supernova had their first outing since 2009, as fans of all ages partied in the capital. And Sheridan can count himself as one the lucky ones who managed to get their hands on goldust tickets. He shared a picture from inside the home of Scottish rugby which showed his incredible view of the stage as Noel Gallagher belted out a song. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Earlier this week we told how one fan took a punt on a ticket seller who claimed they were flying all the way from Malaysia with a spare. Dave Glynn feared that his golden ticket to see the iconic Manchester rockers was 'too good to be true', after he was promised tickets online by a complete stranger 'Half the World Away.' But the 33-year-old was given a huge welcome surprise when he met Ifran Sidek outside Murrayfield who kept true to his word and provided him with a ticket for Saturday's sold out show. Last night we told how more fans from All Around the World travelled to Edinburgh to see Oasis return to the stage. Civil servant Meeho Lee, 33, and data analyst Ra Young, 31, came from Seoul to witness their favourite band play in Edinburgh. Meeho said: 'I was a huge fan of Oasis since I was a high school student. After I heard they were reuniting, my friend and I got tickets to come here. 'It was a lot of preparation with plane tickets and hotels. It was expensive but it's been worth it. Edinburgh is a very attractive city and the beer is delicious.' Closer to home, Pharmaceuticals worker Grant Taylor, 43, from Irvine, arrived with his son Evan, 10. Evan said: 'I'm buzzing. I started listening to Oasis when I was seven and we got tickets last year. It will be mental. I am looking forward to Cigarettes & Alcohol and Live Forever.' The gigs saw several iconic moments, including the pair blasting Edinburgh council for generalising about their fans, and Noel's influencer daughter sporting a Celtic FC tracksuit in the crowd.

Liam Gallagher's one word for Edinburgh Council at final Oasis gig at Murrayfield
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Liam Gallagher had one last statement for Edinburgh Council before wrapping up the third night of Oasis at Murrayfield. The 52-year-old was left 'raging' after fans of the band were labelled 'drunk, fat and old' in a leaked briefing. Across all three gigs and on social media, Liam made his feelings known, reports the Daily Record. On Tuesday night, Liam slammed the council chiefs for a third time, calling them 'ugly'. He added: "£3billion we've brought into this city over the past five days. And that's between you and us. Three billion f****** quid. "You won't see f*** all, because they'll rob it and spread it among their posh ugly mates. "Still waiting for our apology, bring it on down, you c****". This comes after the singer demanded an apology in a sweary rant at their first night at Murrayfield Stadium on Friday and called council chiefs "f****** slags". Then at Saturday's show, the Rock 'n' Roll star targeted the local authority again, saying they have "the cheek" to make comments about his fans. Back in June, one note from the council's briefing documents showed officials warning that "middle-aged men take up more room, consider this when working out occupancy".

One document also suggested there would be "medium to high intoxication" at the concert, and to expect a "substantial amount of older fans", but added there had been "minimal arrests" at recent events involving either of the Gallagher brothers. Oasis didn't take the comments lightly, with Liam saying at the time: "To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude f****** stinks. I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot." Around 67,000 people packed out the venue this evening in what some might say was a "biblical" and "truly magical" gig, with over 200,000 attending all three shows in total. Britpop act Cast from Liverpool and rocker Richard Ashcroft dazzled fans as Oasis' support acts before the Mancunian brothers took to the stage each night.

Scottish Oasis fans say goodbye to Rock 'n' Roll stars after epic Murrayfield gigs
Oasis have finished their three-gig run in Edinburgh's Murrayfield in what some might say were "biblical" and "truly magical" shows. Oasis fans in Scotland have said goodbye to Rock 'n' Roll stars Liam and Noel Gallagher after an epic three-day spectacular at Murrayfield. Tonight's show in Edinburgh marked the end of Oasis' Supersonic run in the capital after last playing in Scotland 16 years ago. More than 200,000 fans attended the sold-out shows across the three nights, with around 67,000 people packing out the venue this evening in what some might say was a "biblical" and "truly magical" gig. Support acts, Britpop act Cast from Liverpool and rocker Richard Ashcroft, dazzled fans with their individual repertoires, which included hits like Walkaway and Bitter Sweet Symphony, before the Mancunian brothers took to the stage like a champagne supernova each night. Fans who successfully snapped up tickets for the Oasis 25 dates back in September 2024 had waited 332 days to see the band's first Scottish dates since the Gallagher brothers began a well-publicised and long running feud that split the band. It was no wonder that fans who had travelled from across the world, including as far as Japan, Mexico, South Korea and Columbia, greeted the band with a Wonderwall of noise, excitement and appreciation that helped blow the roof off the stadium. Excited fans from near and far spoke to the Record earlier today as they queued up for one of Edinburgh's most coveted ever shows. Civil servant Meeho Lee, 33, and data analyst Ra Young, 31, came from Seoul to witness their favourite band play in Edinburgh. Meeho said: 'I was a huge fan of Oasis since I was a high school student. After I heard they were reuniting, my friend and I got tickets to come here. 'It was a lot of preparation with plane tickets and hotels. It was expensive but it's been worth it. Edinburgh is a very attractive city and the beer is delicious.' Closer to home, Pharmaceuticals worker Grant Taylor, 43, from Irvine, arrived with his son Evan, 10. Evan said: 'I'm buzzing. I started listening to Oasis when I was seven and we got tickets last year. It will be mental. I am looking forward to Cigarettes & Alcohol and Live Forever.' Grant added: 'I saw them at Hampden in 2005. We stood on the hills when they played Irvine Beach and tried to hear it but it was lashing down. We got tickets for this in the pre-sale before everybody else was struggling with Ticketmaster's site crashing. I'm looking forward to Cast, Richard Ashcroft and Oasis and will be reliving my youth. This will blow us away.' The gig saw several iconic moments, including the pair blasting Edinburgh council for generalising about their fans, and Noel's influencer daughter sporting a Celtic FC tracksuit in the crowd. Alongside that, two men who scarily resembled the Gallagher brothers turned countless heads outside the venue on Saturday. The Liam and Noel knock-offs, named Glen and Max, were promoting BAFTA award winning provocateur Alison Jackson's Fringe show, Faking Famous: You Can Be a Celebrity Too, where she invites audience members on stage and turns them into uncanny lookalikes of A-list celebs. The reunion show was even more special for one diehard Oasis fan - Shell Hodge - after she was proposed to during her favourite song 'Slide Away' by her partner of six years, Dwayne Yuill. Thrilled Shell, 40, said: 'I was singing along and the next thing Dwayne's on one knee holding out a ring. Dwayne really took me by surprise but his timing couldn't have been better. It was just perfect.' Their last concert in Scotland before reuniting had been in June 2009. Hundreds of locals also gathered to hear the muted strains of the show in nearby parks and residential areas up to a mile away. Despite hugging each other onstage, Noel and Liam chose to stay in separate hotels during their stay in Scotland with Liam bringing his family to the Gleneagles Hotel. Noel was joined by his daughter Anais at the capital's Caledonian hotel. The Murrayfield shows followed similar reunion concerts in Cardiff, Manchester and London. The band will play their next UK and Ireland dates in Dublin this weekend. They'll kick off the North American leg on August 24, in Toronto, Canada before returning to the UK to wrap up the UK shows at Wembley on September 27 and 28.

Liam Gallagher attacks Edinburgh Council chiefs during Oasis final Murrayfield gig
Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher has branded Edinburgh Council chiefs as "ugly" during the band's final Murrayfield show. Liam Gallagher has unleashed his third and fiercest attack on Edinburgh Council during Oasis' final night of their comeback gigs at Murrayfield. The 52-year-old rocker was left raging after council bosses labelled Oasis concert-goers as "drunk", "fat" and "old" in secret safety briefings. Officials claimed the majority of the 200,000 fans attending the reunion shows across the three days were 'rowdy' 'middle-aged men' who 'take up more room' and will drink to 'medium to high intoxication'. Today, Liam slammed the council chiefs for a third time, saying: "£3billion we've brought into this city over the past five days. And that's between you and us. Three billion f****** quid. "You won't see f*** all, because they'll rob it and spread it among their posh ugly mates. "Still waiting for our apology, bring it on down, you c****".
