Overview

• At the July 12 Heaton Park show, many ticket holders on the accessible platform abandoned wheelchairs and crutches to stand and dance, raising concerns they had faked disabilities to gain entry.
• Viagogo listings showed wheelchair and companion tickets selling for about £634 per pair, despite official companion tickets being free, diverting seats from genuinely disabled fans.
• Disabled attendees such as Mark Chapman and Daniel Tester faced full allocations and had to join waiting lists or rely on fellow concertgoers’ assistance to access the platform.
• Ticketmaster and Viagogo each reiterated that accessible-ticket purchases require proof of disability and warned they will cancel listings or bookings that fail verification.
• Lawmakers are reviewing industry-wide caps on secondary-market prices as part of wider anti-touting measures aimed at protecting accessibility rights during the remainder of the Oasis tour.
