Liam Gallagher has told a fan to 'shut up' after he was accused of 'ripping them off' after the price of Oasis tickets rose to more than £300.

The musician announced he and his brother Noel Gallagher would come back for a reunion tour in 2025, and on Saturday the series of UK and Ireland shows sold out in less than a day.

But fans were left shocked after standard tickets more than doubled from £148 to £355 for their reunion tour, prompting the UK competition watchdog to launch an investigation into Ticketmaster.

After tweeting about the fact Oasis were back, front man Liam was met with fans complaining about how expensive tickets were.

User Sstopp wrote: "Didn't expect them to rip the fans off as much as they have done.It's genuinely a shame."

In a reply just two minutes later Liam simply said: "SHUTUP".

He also took to the social media platform to claim fan's attitude about the Oasis reunion “stinks” after they shared their frustrations at being charged over-inflated prices.

Fans were beset with problems getting onto ticket websites, from being labelled bots and being kicked out of queuing to some ending up paying more than the advertised price of £148 as costs surged past £355.

On Friday, Liam wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Oasis are back (you’re) welcome and I hear (their) attitude stinks, good to know something’s never change.”

When asked if he would do a free concert, he replied saying “don’t be silly”.

Another referenced his mother Peggy, saying how she might feel about ticket fiasco, and Liam responded saying: “She’s gutted she couldn’t get a ticket.”

Liam also appeared to joke, he had “loads” of tickets left, but could only sell them for £100,000 and they would be “kneeling only”.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will also scrutinise whether the sale of Oasis tickets by Ticketmaster may have breached consumer protection law.

Ticketmaster maintains it does not set concert prices and its website states this is down to the “event organiser” who “has priced these tickets according to their market value”.

A spokesman for the ticket sales company said: “We are committed to co-operating with the CMA and look forward to sharing more facts about the ticket sale with them.”

Oasis said in a statement: “It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used.

“While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations.

“All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve.”

Following the chaos over the weekend, Oasis announced new Wembley Stadium dates on 27 and 28 September 2025 using a lottery system.

The final UK Live ’25 tour tickets released will use a new “staggered invitation-only ballot process” with applications to join the ballot opened first to those who were unsuccessful in the initial sale.

The Advertising Standards Authority reported receiving 450 complaints alleging “misleading claims about availability and pricing” from the Oasis ticket release.
