Oasis are set to add two more dates to their highly anticipated reunion tour at Dublin’s Croke Park venue, insiders revealed.
The bands first two gigs in Ireland were the first of their 17 shows to sell out after the in-demand tickets went on sale this morning.
Tickets for the two dates – August 16 and 17 – sold out within minutes, with fans desperately pleading with Oasis to add extra performances to the roster.
Now, showbiz insiders have revealed it is highly likely that the kings of Brit-pop will add an extra two dates at Croke Park the following weekend on August 23 and 24.
A showbiz told the Irish Sun: ‘The demand in Ireland to see Oasis is absolutely massive.
‘The tickets this morning will be snapped up in minutes and there will be thousands upon thousands left disappointed if it stayed at just the two.
They added: ‘The Gallaghers love Ireland, the demand is there so it’s very likely to happen.
‘And what is being examined is two extra concerts the following weekend to the two already announced.’
It comes as fans flocked to X (formerly Twitter) to beg Noel and Liam Gallagher for extra tour dates in the Irish capital.
‘Give Ireland two more dates, horrific today still in the 300 thousands and up since 7am in a lobby,’ one bemoaned.
‘Drop two more dates if you love us that much,’ a second quipped.
‘You know you have to release one or two more dates at Croke Park,’ another added:
‘Hello @oasis I kindly ask that you add more dates for Croke Park in Dublin!!!! There’s 269000 people ahead of me right now!!! Thanks guys,’ a fan pleaded.
Another questioned: ‘Will there be more tickets released later on? Another date or two? does anyone know because I doubt Ticketmaster even know themselves.’
This comes shortly after it was confirmed the two Dublin concerts sold out as 160,000 tickets were snapped up within hours.
Although Ticketmaster’s Irish site made the announcement, it also added that more tickets may still be released later.
The website posted a message saying: ‘UPDATE: There are currently no tickets available. Please check back later as more may be released.’
Fans continue to battle for the ‘very limited’ UK tickets left. Some 14 million devotees from around the world are believed to have joined the queue for general sale – competing for a chance at one of around 1.4 million tickets.
Long-time fan, Scott McLean, 28, tried for tickets to see Oasis in Dublin next year but said he felt frustration and anger after he was kicked out of the Ticketmaster queue.
The data analyst from Belfast, Northern Ireland, logged into his account on the ticket-selling website at 7.30am on Saturday ahead of Irish sales opening at 8am.
He was in a queue of 20,000 for about 30 minutes before selecting four tickets to see the band’s show at Croke Park.
However, his browser began buffering for half an hour as he tried to make the purchase, prompting him to contact the Ticketmaster customer service account on X, formerly Twitter, for advice.
‘I followed their advice, cleared my cookies and cache on my browser and then it kicked me out completely. It just came up to that error screen after I followed their guidance,’ he told the PA news agency.
‘I had to rejoin the queue and I ended up about 700,000 places worse off after following their guidance.’
He said he feels ‘frustration and anger, not much more than that’, adding: ‘It’s just tickets for a concert after all, but I really wanted to go.’
The ticket ‘bloodbath’ has sparked furious reaction from the band’s legions of fans who have missed out.
Users on X, formerly Twitter, also reported the price for tickets nearly doubling from around £148 to around £355 on Ticketmaster after they waited for hours to secure their place at the Oasis Live 25 shows.
An explanation by the website about the ‘on-demand standing ticket’ price says: ‘The event organiser has priced these tickets according to their market value.
‘Tickets do not include VIP packages. Availability and pricing are subject to change.’
Ticketmaster said it does not set prices, and shared a link to its website where it says costs can be ‘fixed or market-based’.
It is believed that ticket prices are set by the promoters, not the artists.
Oasis fans blasted Ticketmaster for its ‘disgusting’ inflated ‘In Demand’ pricing as fans scrambled for tickets to the latest tour.
Some of the ticket were priced at £350 each, plus fees, amid the wait for sought-after reunion tour tickets this morning.

AUGUST 2025
Some 14 million fans are expected to have joined queues on select websites to be in with a chance of securing one of around 1.4 million tickets for one of the 17 UK and Ireland shows.
Ticketmaster assures lines are still moving forward and has shared tips on avoiding issues with the website, though Oasis devotees are still reporting outages.
But others fortunate enough to be in the position of buying tickets are now sharing their horror to discover various sites offering dynamic prices for ‘in demand’ tickets, at multiples of the original price, with tickets only reserved for a limited time.
Many thousands of fans have been waiting in online queues since the early hours of this morning in the hope of securing a ticket for one of next year’s shows. Standing tickets were originally listed from £151.25, and seated from £74.25 in London
Journalist Gavan Reilly shared in the frustration at inflated ticket prices in a post now seen more than 400,000 times.
He wrote on Twitter/X: ‘After 105 minutes in the queue: only tickets left for Oasis on Sunday are “official platinum tickets” (€490.50) and “in demand standing tickets” (€415.50).
‘Neither has any VIP element: it’s literally just Ticketmaster incorporating tout pricing into the ‘face value’ proposition.’
Darragh Moriarty, City Councillor for South West and Inner City, and Labour Leader on Dublin City Council, chimed in: ‘”In demand standing ticket” is just a standard standing ticket except double the price. No difference between Ticketmaster and touts.’
Mr Moriarty shared apparent screenshots from the Ticketmaster website offering In Demand standing tickets for 415.50 euros each, plus fees – equivalent to around £350.
Once through the queue, fans have a limited time in which their tickets are reserved to decide whether or not to pay the offered price.
Ticketmaster explains: ‘In Demand Tickets are dynamically-priced tickets.
‘Based on demand the prices of these tickets may change.
‘These tickets are not part of VIP packages – they are tickets only.’
contacted Ticketmaster for further comment.
Ticketmaster notes that they do not have any say on the face value price of a ticket.
‘That is decided by the event organiser. What we do have a say over is the price that is displayed to you and we always ensure that you see the total price you will need to pay right from the beginning – we never hide our fees.’
The first batch of tickets went on sale yesterday at 7pm for those lucky enough to get a pre-sale code.
But within minutes of the sale going live, tickets were being resold for up to £10,000 by greedy touts.
Oasis soon assured on social media that tickets ‘can only be resold at face value via Ticketmaster and Twickets’.
‘Tickets appearing on other secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be cancelled by the promoters.’
Users have since responded to the post sharing some of the In Demand prices offered, calling on the band to ‘tell Ticketmaster as they are not selling at face value’.
Emma Munnelly, queuing for tickets since 8:30 this morning, told she spent three hours waiting in a queue and a waiting room queue to buy tickets for herself, her husband and her daughter.
She said her daughter ‘has been desperate to see Oasis and couldn’t believe her luck when they announced they were touring’.
‘Expected to pay £148:50 for standing at Manchester, absolutely disgusted that when we had the chance of purchasing the tickets, Ticket Master had increased them to £355 each.
‘This was unaffordable and devastating for my daughter.’
‘It is such an unaffordable cost for many families and it should not be allowed to happen,’ she said.
Catherine Kremer said she had finally reached the front after four hours of queuing and now ‘can’t even buy a ticket ‘whatever option is chosen’, with in-demand tickets priced at £358.10 to stand.
Heidi Tringe told she got up at 3:45am local time in Montpelier, USA – and was horrified to discover the ‘In Demand’ prices when she finally got to the front of the queue, three and a half hours later.
‘The Ticket Options that were showing on the screen were the ridiculously Ticketmaster-inflated “dynamic pricing” tickets…
‘I attempted clicking on various buttons and “Find Tickets” to no avail for the last 30 minutes. I finally hit refresh – nothing changed. I hit refresh a few more times and then it said I had lost my place in line and could rejoin the queue.
‘This is so maddening, heartbreaking. If companies are going to have a monopoly on tickets, inflate the prices well above the prices the band has set, they damn well better have systems in place that can handle fan demand. Something needs to be done, both in Europe and in the US.’
