Oasis fans – hoping to get their hands on a last-minute ticket – will have to be rolling in it, as new research reveals it’ll cost more than two-thirds of the average worker’s monthly salary to attend the tour. 

The total average cost, including buying a resale ticket, a night in a hotel and purchasing merchandise is £1,604 – a significant chunk of the UK’s average monthly salary after tax (£2,297). 

Resale tickets, accommodation, parking and merchandise prices were all factored into the research from digital marketing and PR agency Tank to work out the true cost of being an Oasis fan in 2025. 

The average Oasis resale ticket costs £1,070, with the most expensive priced at £4,430 and the cheapest, £309. 

When the band toured back in 1994, the cheapest face-value ticket was just £3 – jumping to £74.25 for the cheapest face-value ticket in 2025, a jump of 2,375%.

When the tickets went on sale last August, fans complained over Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing, where prices increase with demand, meaning some face-value tickets more than doubled in price from £74.25 to £206.25. Resale scams also saw fans lose up to £2m since the tickets went on sale last year.

Concert costs Average price 
Resale ticket £1,070

Merchandise £96.75
Parking (during the concert)£68.51

The research also reveals the price of being an Oasis fan creeps up to £1,796 if fans stay in an Airbnb for the night. 

London is the most expensive city to attend the tour, with its 28 September concert costing an average of £2,029 including resale tickets (£1,581) and hotel accommodation (£448). 

On the other hand, the cheapest city to watch the reunion is Dublin, with its 17 August concert costing an average of £1,178 including resale tickets (£867) and hotel accommodation (£311). 

Martin Stone, brand PR expert and managing director at Tank, said: “The band has tapped into ‘90s nostalgia, and social media to tease and announce the reunion, building up anticipation where fans are willing to spend thousands to watch them perform. Sites even crashed as it’s predicted 14 million fans tried to get their hands on a ticket. 

“This is a classic example of direct-to-fan engagement and the power of building a brand, which has resulted in the band going viral and building excitement organically.”

Methodology

Experts at Tank analysed the cost of resale tickets on StubHub (or SeatPick for Dublin tour dates), inclusive of estimated fees, to work out an average cost per resale ticket. Historical ticket costs were found by analysing old Oasis tour ticket images on Reddit. To analyse the increase in the cost of hotel rooms and Airbnbs, Tank collated the prices for the all rooms or stays closest to the concert venues on Booking.com or airbnb.com and compared them with the price for a stay on 27 June, a week before the tour begins. Parking costs were collected from JustPark.com, selecting 20 parking spaces available near to the concert venues, and comparing against the prices on 27 June. Prices correct as of May 2025.
