Oasis: Tens of thousands of fans face having their tickets cancelled

Despite the warning from Oasis’ promoters, leading secondary ticketing company Viagogo says it will continue to sell tickets for the tour.

Matt Drew, who oversees business development for Viagogo, told File on 4: “Two percent of Oasis tickets are on Viagogo and Stubhub.

“We will continue to sell them in the way the regulator says we can. We are serving a clear consumer need, we will continue to do so on that basis.”

Reselling tickets in the UK is legal as long as tickets are acquired legally – and laws are in place to protect consumers.

All events listed on the Viagogo website must inform buyers if the event prohibits the resale of tickets.

File on 4 has seen examples of ticket sellers from around the world using secondary websites, including one trader in Hawaii selling 27 Oasis tickets at £793 each, another in Brazil offering up to 10 tickets for each concert on the tour; as well as sellers in Dubai, Holland, Spain, Germany and Ukraine.

One ticket on Viagogo is on sale for £11,000; another on StubHub is listed for £119,000.
