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!"

Approximately 200,000 supporters crammed into Murrayfield across three Supersonic evenings in the capital.
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.
