Ticketmaster Cancels Oasis Reunion Tour Tickets Over Alleged Bot Purchases
Fans claim legitimate tickets were wrongly canceled as Ticketmaster enforces anti-resale policies for the highly anticipated reunion tour.
- Ticketmaster has begun canceling tickets for Oasis's 2025 reunion tour that it claims were purchased using bots, citing violations of the tour's terms and conditions.
- Several fans have alleged that their legitimate purchases were mistakenly flagged as bot activity, leading to the cancellation of their tickets and significant financial losses for travel and accommodation expenses.
- Ticketmaster has stated that refunded tickets will be re-released at face value through official channels and has urged fans to avoid purchasing from unauthorized resale platforms to prevent fraud.
- Fans who believe their tickets were wrongly canceled have been provided a form to appeal the decision, which will be reviewed by the tour's promoters.
- The controversy comes as Ticketmaster faces criticism over its use of dynamic pricing for the tour, with ticket prices reportedly doubling in some cases, and an ongoing investigation by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority.
