Oasis confirmed their hugely-anticipated 2025 reunion shows this week and after a nail-biting pre-sale on Friday (30th August), tickets finally want for general sale this Saturday (31st August) from 9am BST in the UK and 8am IST in Ireland.
As expected, hundreds and thousands of fans woke up in order to try and nab tickets to see the Gallagher brothers next year, leaving many stuck in queues for over three hours.

And many local fans weren't happy to see some of the tickets being nabbed by UK dwellers...

However, some people - like Elena - accepted her fate:
Listening party from my back garden. The only solution I can get from all this. The good/bad from having your house next to Croke park #Oasis25

Many Oasis reunion hopefuls remarked upon the fact they were being "placed in a queue to get into the queue".

Some people were just shocked the band was so popular:
I didn’t know people fucked with oasis like that

Plus LOTS of comparisons to Glastonbury ticket sales...

Once again, fan noticed that tickets were already appearing on secondary sites for an extortionate amount, but Oasis maintained to their fans: "Please note, Oasis Live ‘25 tickets can only be resold at face value via @TicketmasterUK and @Twickets!
"Tickets appearing on other secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be cancelled by the promoters."

And as ever, people still found the time to banter.
