At the first concert of her “Oasis Live ’25” tour in Cardiff, Noel and Liam Gallagher took the shovel in view of the continuing controversy. On Friday evening (July 4th) Oasis returned Triumphal after 16 years of stage – with an epic set in front of over 70,000 fans in the Principality stage of the Welsh capital.
In the course of the concert, both brothers commented on the debate about the card prices that thousands of fans had frustrated during the pre -sale. The queues were long, the prices rose suddenly – apparently triggered by the dynamic pricing of Ticketmaster.
When Noel Gallagher took over the lead singing during a song block, he said mockingly: “I hope it was okay of any money. Sorry, 210 pounds. Sorry, 250 pounds.”
Shortly afterwards, Liam followed up, greeted the audience and said: “What’s going on? Everything is clear to you? Yes, do you have a good time, yes? Was it worth the £ 4,000 you paid for a ticket?”
OASIS do not want to have known anything from the Dynamic Pricing for Ticket Prices
The band said after the pre -sale last year: “At no time, we knew that dynamic pricing would be used.” It also said: “Earlier meetings between organizers, ticketmaster and the management of the band led to a positive ticket sales strategy that should be a fair experience for fans – including dynamic prices to keep the general ticket prices low and contain the black market. However, the implementation of the plan could not meet the expectations.”
As a small amendment, the band announced two exclusive additional shows in the Wembley Stadium on September 27 and 28 after the shitstorm-only accessible via an invitation system. “A little step to make up for the situation.” As they called it.
In the spring, Noel Gallagher was looking forward to the immense interest. “I thought it would be a big deal, but I was pretty surprised at how big things actually became.”
In March, the British competition authority said that Ticketmaster had “violated the law” through its methods and “misleading fans”. At the beginning of July, the CMA Ticketmaster threatened legal steps due to the “misleading” ticket sales practice on the tour.
