Ticketmaster is facing a surge in demand from fans trying to buy tickets for the highly anticipated Oasis reunion tour. Despite dealing with millions of fans accessing the site, Ticketmaster insists that its website has not crashed. Fans are advised to hold their place in line, use only one tab, clear cookies, and avoid using VPN software on their devices to ensure a smooth ticket purchasing experience.
International news agencies are covering the chaotic ticket sale, with reports of fans being dumped to the back of the queue after waiting online for several hours. Social media is filled with memes and mockery from frustrated fans, some of whom are reminiscing about the simpler days of queuing outside record shops to buy tickets.
Ticket reseller Viagogo has defended its practice of charging inflated prices for Oasis tickets, stating that resale is legal and that demand often peaks during the initial on-sale period. Some fans managed to secure tickets for the tour, including one enthusiastic fan who will be traveling from Australia to Dublin for the concert.
Overall, the Oasis reunion tour is expected to generate around £400 million through ticket sales, merchandise, and potential film licensing. The tour is bringing a significant economic boost to host cities, especially Manchester, the band’s hometown. Despite the tumultuous history of the Gallagher brothers, fans remain excited about the prospect of Oasis reuniting on stage.
