What was reported
A plain summary of this topic, built from the channels that covered it.
On 25 September 2026, ITV1 and Sky News reported that tickets for Oasis's next tour were going on sale. ITV1 said the tour includes 42 shows in 2027 across the UK, Europe and the US, with six dates at Knebworth, and that fans needed to have registered for an online ballot between 14 and 17 September to receive a unique code for timed purchase windows. ITV1 reported standard ticket prices between £71.50 and £266.60, more for Knebworth, compared with £22.50 when Oasis played Knebworth in 1996. ITV1 also said Oasis warned about possible ticket scams and told fans to trust only codes sent directly from the band's email. Sky News reported that the sale was structured with registration, unique codes, staggered sale windows and resale restrictions, but that secondary sites were already advertising they would have tickets. Sky News said Oasis's terms allowed cancellation of tickets sold in breach and restricted resale to face value via Ticketmaster or Twickets. It reported Viagogo's statement that it had only empty placeholders and no actual Oasis tickets listed before the sale, that speculative listings are removed and accounts can be suspended, and that last-minute cancellations are rare with refunds or replacements offered. Sky News said StubHub did not respond to a request for comment, and included a fan's account of tickets bought through Viagogo last year being cancelled the night before and later refunded. Sky News also reported on political proposals to tackle ticket resale above face value, noting that measures had appeared in the King's Speech as a draft bill and were not yet law.
