According to reports, the Manchester rockers will be cancelling thousands of tickets that have been sold via resale sites.

Oasis are preparing to cancel around 50,000 tickets to their upcoming 2025 reunion.

The Manchester rockers issued a stern warning about selling tickets on secondary websites, assuring fans that tickets will only be accepted if they have been sold at "face value" through their official partners Ticketmaster and Twickets.

Despite this, according to BBC News, four per cent of of tickets - which made up around 50,00 - ended up on secondary platforms.

Now, it looks like the Manchester rockers are set to make good on their promise, by targeting said tickets and cancelling them in order for them to be released and made available again.

According to reports, any tickets which fans believe have been cancelled in error can be reported by fans, and will be investigated.

Live Nation and SJM - the promoters for Oasis Live '2025 - have laid out their plans continued to urge fans not to buy tickets from any unauthorised sites.

A company spokesperson said: “These terms and conditions were successfully put in place to take action against secondary ticketing companies reselling tickets for huge profit. Only four percent of tickets have ended up on resale sites. Some major tours can see up to 20 percent of tickets appearing via the major unauthorised secondary platforms.

“All parties involved with the tour continue to urge fans not to purchase tickets from unauthorised websites as some of these may be fraudulent and others subject to cancellation.”

A spokesperson for Viagogo said in a statement: "Ticket resale in the UK is legal and we want to reassure fans buying tickets on viagogo that we are fully compliant with the law and guidelines set out by relevant regulators. Every order on our platform is protected by our money-back guarantee.

"Threats from promoters to cancel tickets unfairly target fans who chose to buy on a secure, transparent, and highly regulated resale marketplace. Such actions are clear examples of anti-consumer and retaliatory behaviour.

"This reinforces our longstanding concerns about competition, abuse of dominant positions in the primary market and the resulting detrimental impact this has on fans across the UK.  Ticketmaster, owned by Live Nation, has a long history of anti-competitive and anti-consumer behaviour and is now the subject of an antitrust lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice in the United States.  Our priority remains getting fans into live events. Fans deserve the freedom to buy and sell tickets through the regulated platforms they prefer."

Meanwhile, Oasis have recently confirmed Richard Ashcroft and Cast will support them on all their UK and Ireland dates next year.

Sharing the news, the Liverpool rockers wrote: "We are delighted to confirm that we will be supporting Oasis as part of their worldwide tour, in the UK and Ireland performances in 2025, with Richard Ashcroft. Tickets are sold out, and we can’t wait to see you all for these BIBLICAL shows."

The week before, Ashcroft said of the news: "As a fan from day one I was buzzing for many reasons when the news of Oasis’s return was announced. I can say with no exaggeration that the songwriting talent of Noel and Liam’s pure spirit as a lead singer helped to inspire me to create some of my best work. It was the perfection of ‘Live Forever’ that forced me to try and write my own. They dared to be great, made the dreams we had real and I will always remember those days with joy. Now it’s time to create more memories and I’m ready to bring it. See you next summer. Music is power."
