How to get tickets and escape scammers

Oasis fans will be able to see the band play live again next year, with the Britpop favourites unveiling a string of concert dates including two nights at Dublin’s Croke Park.

Here is what you need to know about getting your hands on tickets and avoiding scams:

Where will Oasis be playing?

The band will take to the stage at Croke Park on 16 and 17 August 2025.

The tour will also visit Cardiff’s Principality Stadium (4 and 5 July) Manchester’s Heaton Park (11, 12, 19 and 20 July), London’s Wembley Stadium (25, 26 July and 2, 3 August) and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium (8 and 9 August).

When will Oasis tickets go on general sale?

Tickets for the Dublin dates will be available from 8am IST (Irish Standard Time) on Saturday 31 August, while the UK tour dates will go on sale from 9am.

Is there any way to boost my chances of getting a ticket?

Organisers have suggested that fans should sign up to official ticket agents ahead of time as websites will be very busy when tickets go on sale.

How many tickets can I buy?

There is a limit of four tickets per household, per show. Organisers say only tickets bought through approved agents will be valid.

Will age restrictions be in place?

Dublin Croke Park:

General Admission: No under 14s. 14 – 15 year olds must be accompanied by an adult (18+).

Reserved Seating – under 16s must be accompanied by an adult (18+).

Restrictions will differ between the other venues, so concert-goers planning to travel to the UK should check for restrictions at the location they are planning to attend. Some venues, for example, do not allow children aged under five in reserved seating. Venues may also have rules around younger people needing to be accompanied by an adult.

What if I need to re-sell my ticket?

Fans who can no longer attend the shows will be able to resell their tickets via Ticketmaster in Ireland.

Organisers say fans should only use official resale platforms.

Ticket resales will be allowed at no more than the price that was paid – its face value plus booking fees.

What if I decide to use an unauthorised platform to look for or sell tickets?

Selling tickets through unauthorised resale platforms will breach the terms and conditions and tickets may be cancelled.

People can also run the risk of being scammed by going through unofficial routes.

Scammers will piggyback onto popular events and earlier this year, Lloyds Bank estimated that fans of Taylor Swift had lost more than £1 million (€1,184,000) to ticket scammers ahead of her UK tour.

Liz Ziegler, fraud prevention director at Lloyds Bank, said: “Hot on the heels of Taylor Swift’s record-breaking UK tour, fraudsters will be eagerly anticipating another run of sell-out shows next summer.

“Missing out on these landmark gigs would be devastating for Oasis fans who have waited so long for this reunion. But you can be sure that criminals are getting ready to ‘slide away’ with their hard-earned cash.

“Most of these scams begin on social media, where impostors create fake profiles to sell non-existent tickets. The simple rule for fans is always stick to official ticketing platforms and avoid deals which look too good to be true.”
