Thousands of fake Oasis tickets advertised before US tour sale begins

Oasis have warned fans that thousands of fake tickets for their North America tour are being advertised before the official sale has begun.

A post on the Band’s official X account read: “Please be aware. Thousands of fake Oasis tickets have already been discovered on StubHub and Vivid Seats before the North America tour has even gone on sale!”

The post linked to a letter released by the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) on Wednesday – the day before pre-sale tickets went on sale – which said it found evidence of at least 9,000 fake tickets being listed for the highly anticipated US shows.

“Not only are these tickets fake, they are estimated to be exceedingly higher than the face value of real tickets,” the NIVA said.

Tickets for the tour, which will go to cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and Mexico City are not officially available to purchase until 4 October, with pre-sale tickets going live the day before.

It comes after the band issued a warning against people reselling tickets for their UK reunion tour dates at higher prices.

This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
