The Oasis comeback tour has sold out for all the dates the band announced they would play across the UK and Ireland next summer.

The band wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that tickets for all 17 gigs had been scooped up as of 19:00 BST on Saturday - but many fans criticised the sales process and prices.

Throughout the day, hundreds of thousands of fans sat in online queues in the hope of being able to buy a first-hand view of a tour that comes 15 years after the group disbanded in an acrimonious split.

“Dynamic pricing” on Ticketmaster, where prices rise in line with demand, set some remaining tickets at more than £350 - up from £135 when the sale began.

Earlier this week, standing price tickets for Cardiff, London and Edinburgh were advertised as £135 plus fees. But angry fans online said they noted "in demand" pricing on Ticketmaster had increased prices to £355 plus fees.

Ticketmaster say they do not set ticket prices.

A link on the ticketing website stated: "Promoters and artists set ticket prices. Prices can be either fixed or market-based. Market-based tickets are labelled as 'Platinum' or 'In Demand'."

Ticketmaster confirmed that fans did not get anything else for the price increase.

Oasis and the band's promoter were not commenting on the issue on Saturday evening.

Dynamic pricing is not new and is allowed under consumer protection laws.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) told the BBC it could not pass comment on Ticketmaster's pricing in this instance.

“We encourage anyone with concerns to get in touch with us and we’d carefully assess whether there were any grounds for action,” an ASA spokesperson said.
But they added: “Our rules (the Advertising Codes) are clear – quoted prices must not mislead.”

Within minutes of Saturday's morning sale, some people looking for tickets for gigs at London's Wembley Stadium next July and August found more than one million people ahead of them in the queue.

Others were put into a "queue for the queue" with all three ticket sellers redirecting people to a page saying their sites were experiencing high demand.

Tickets were on sale from 09:00 BST and an hour earlier for Ireland, where issues accessing the Ticketmaster website were also reported.
