Fans of the band Oasis are being told not be tempted to buy resale tickets through social media as they could well be a scam.
Consumer group Which? issued the warning as increasing numbers of tickets appear online for the hottest gig of the 2025.
The band has already said that resale tickets not bought through official sites face being cancelled.
With Oasis fans desperate to get to the gig, there is a danger they take risks that scammers rely on.
Lisa Webb, Which? consumer law expert said: “Oasis fans are understandably eager to snap up tickets to the reunion tour, but we’d strongly advise against buying any of the resale tickets currently popping up online at inflated prices.
“Not only is there a chance that some of these listings could be scam attempts, but even legitimate tickets could be cancelled, rendering them invalid, if they are sold outside of the official resale platforms or above face value.
“If you buy through the official seller you’ll be entitled to a refund if the show is cancelled but if you buy through a secondary ticket seller, you may not get your money back.
“We’d also recommend paying using your credit card if the tickets cost more than £100, or by PayPal, which also offers an extra layer of protection provided you choose ‘paying for an item or service’ rather than ‘sending to a friend’.”
There have been tickets being sold on Viagogo for £596 to £1,162 each for one standing pass, and one VIP pass at £2,614 for the dates, which were added following the furore over fans unable to secure tickets or being quoted inflated “in-demand” prices.
StubHub also saw high prices, with two standing tickets on sale for between £482 and £4,820.
