First the good news: if you have any fantasy of snagging tickets toOasis‘ 2025 UK reunion tour now is the time to act. Since famously battling brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher shocked the world this week by announcing that they have put their legendary differences in the past for the comeback nobody thought was possible, anticipation for the on-sale for the run of shows across the British Isles has exploded.

And, today (August 28) is the day for the fans who have been digging out their anoraks and Adidas track suits as they freak out over reliving their 1990s Britpop heydays. Registration for the pre-sale ticket ballot is open now and will remain open through 7 p.m. BST (2 p.m. ET) before the proper pre-sale begins on Friday (August 30), followed by a general on-sale on Saturday (August 31). Fans hoping to get in on the early sale must fill out a form with their contact details and answer a general knowledge quiz about the band aimed at beating the bots.

Upon filling out the general details, fans will be led to a screen that reads: “Hate touts? Please help us keep this fair and fan-focused by answering the following series of questions.” And though they don’t have any bearing on whether the ballot will be accepted, the questions include, “How many Oasis shows have you been to?,” “Who was the drummer in the initial Oasis line-up?” and “Where would you like to see Oasis?”

Given the intense interest in the shows, a final message notes that due to the “extremely high volume of entries” confirmation emails may be delayed. All successful ballot entrants will receive their code by noon BST Friday (7 a.m. ET); if you don’t get a code your application was not successful. Those lucky fans who do get a code can claim only one and the small print notes that the codes have no cash value and are “non-transferable, case-sensitive and good for one-time use only for limited tickets during pre-sale window.” The code has to be used with the email address that it was originally sent to.

The ticket limit for the shows are four per person and only tickets purchased through approved agents will be valid. A not-specified, limited number of tickets will be available in the pre-sale window for all successful pre-sale ballot entrants on a first come, first served basis, with no guarantee that successful pre-sale ballot entrants will be able to buy tickets to any of the dates using their code.

The rules also note that ticket resale is permitted at “no more than the price you paid (face value + booking fees),” with a warning that the only approved resale partners are Ticketmaster and www.twickets.live, with sales made through unauthorized platforms possibly leading to the tickets being cancelled.

At press time there was no official confirmation on ticket prices for the 14 announced shows, though the BBC reported that the costs for GA, as well as Platinum and VIP, will be announced on Thursday (August 29).

After calling it quits more than 15 years ago due to tension between singer Liam Gallagher and the band’s musical fountainhead, guitarist/singer Noel Gallagher, the battling brothers announced on Tuesday that they would be hitting the road for a series of 14 stadium dates in Cardiff, their hometown of Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin next summer. So far no other international dates for Oasis Live 25 have been announced, but a press release promised that “plans are underway for Oasis Live 25 to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year.”
