Oasis fans have just hours left to register for Live ’27 tickets, with a new study warning that supporters have only a 3.7% chance of getting into the UK and Ireland shows. Registration closes at 4pm today (Thursday 17 September), and Updraft estimates 41.8 million fans will miss out.
The scramble follows Oasis being named the most wanted comeback act of 2027, and comes days after the Live ’27 tour drop. Demand is already spilling into hotels, betting markets and the resale pages that burned fans last year.
The Gallagher brothers will play 22 concerts across four UK and Ireland stops, with around 1,622,055 tickets expected to go on sale. Updraft compared that supply with Oasis’s 43.4 million monthly listeners, leaving just 1.6 million people (3.7%) with a mathematical shot at a ticket.
Oasis Live ’27 opens at Celtic Park in Glasgow on 21, 23, 25, 28 and 29 May, then heads to Etihad Stadium in Manchester on 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 15, 18, 19, 22, 25 and 26 June. Ireland follows at Slane Castle on 4 and 5 September, with four nights at Knebworth in Hertfordshire on 11, 12, 18 and 19 September. Standard tickets are being sold at fixed prices, ranging from £71.50 to £266.60.
Fans must register at oasisinet.com by 4pm BST today for a chance of a unique, non transferable code. UK tickets then go on sale across Friday 25, Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September, with three sale windows each day. That is later than ticket experts predicted for a Monday presale, and there is no general public onsale outside those registered windows.
Missing out will be expensive even before a ticket is bought. Hotel prices have surged by 471% around the rumoured UK dates, while Cast have been tipped to support the Knebworth return. Manchester fever has gone further still, with bookies tipping Haaland and Pep Guardiola to join the band.
The wider Oasis boom has seen the group overtake Harry Styles in James Bond theme betting, and a Noel Gallagher guitar lead a Propstore music auction. It is also pushing disappointed fans towards resellers. UK Google searches for “concert scam” have jumped 194% in the past month.
Updraft says the 41.8 million supporters who do not get a code could be prime targets. A recent survey found 14% of concertgoers have bought a fake ticket, losing £150 million in the past year, with 31% of 18 to 24 year olds sold a dud. Last year’s reunion already saw resale prices swallow huge chunks of monthly wages, and scams cost fans up to £2m.
Aseem Munshi, founder of Updraft, said: “For Oasis fans who narrowly missed out on securing tickets, purchasing resale tickets through a third party might be appealing. However, many people don’t realise the true dangers of ticket reselling scams. These scams often include fake ticket listings online or on social media, selling non-existent or duplicated tickets to sold-out concerts typically priced much lower than market value. Upon arriving at the venue, tickets reject entry, leaving fans disappointed and out of pocket.”
Munshi’s advice is to buy only through official artist sites, box offices or Ticketmaster, check the URL, and treat bargain listings as a warning sign. Never pay by bank transfer. Use a credit card or PayPal Goods and Services, walk away if a seller wants PayPal Friends and Family, and ignore anyone rushing you into immediate payment.
