Speaking to the BBC, both Live Nation and SJM revealed that 4% of tickets bought from Ticketmaster for the shows across the UK in 2025 ended up on secondary market websites - which accounts for 50,000 unlucky fans.
A spokesperson for Ticketmaster told the BBC “These terms and conditions were successfully put in place to take action against secondary ticketing companies reselling tickets for huge profit.

Business developer for Viagogo, Matt Drew, however stated that their company will continue selling tickets through their secondary market, telling BBC Radio 4’s File on 4 programme that they’ll maintain selling Oasis tickets “in the way the regulator says we can”.
“We are serving a clear consumer need, we will continue doing it on that basis,” he added.

Hide AdWhat can I do if my Oasis ticket is cancelled?
If you think that one of the tickets you bought from a reseller market might be one of the 50,000 set to be cancelled and put on resale, there’s not a huge amount you can do, sadly.
If the tickets break Ticketmaster’s terms and conditions policy, your best option is to contact the ticketing outlet you made the purchase from, who “should” then investigate the case to determine if those tickets should have been cancelled or if you have a legitimate claim to keep them.
If you’re still looking for an Oasis ticket, then the official reseller market that the band and their management are using is Twickets - and that should be at present the only means of picking up an Oasis ticket on the resellers market.
