LAST UPDATE | 30 Aug 2024
PRE-SALE CODES FOR Oasis’ highly anticipated reunion tour across Ireland and the UK have been issued via email to all fans who signed up – but a number of hopeful concertgoers have been left confused after receiving codes for dates in the wrong country.
One user took to X to say that although they had received their pre-sale code, “it gave me the UK instead of Dublin when I signed up for Dublin…”
A number of others also reported having received codes for dates in Dublin when they had signed up for the UK pre-sale.
Got an Oasis pre sale code but it gave me the UK instead of Dublin when I signed up for Dublin….

While tickets for the show aren’t on sale to the general public until tomorrow morning, those who managed to secure a pre-sale code in a ballot from earlier this week will be able to access the pre-sale from 7pm this evening.
Oasis have since said that all codes have now been provided to fans who signed up and reminded customers not to sell, buy or transfer links to other accounts as the offer is only made available to the original e-mail that was used to register for access.
The band added: “If you didn’t get a code to access the pre-sale, you can join the general sale tomorrow morning.”
Earlier this week, fans complained of delays in receiving confirmation of their registration for a pre-sale code after filling in the ballot.
Oasis then had to reassure fans that confirmation emails would be sent to those who had entered the ballot after they claimed to receive an “unprecedented volume” of interest.
To enter the ballot, fans had to say who the band’s original drummer was, and were offered the options of Chris Sharrock, Alan White and the correct answer, Tony McCarroll, who drummed with the band from their formation until 1995.
Entrants were also asked how many times they had seen the band.
Each code is unique to the email registered, and can only be used to purchase tickets using that same email – meaning that codes can not be sold on or reused.
Having only announced their reunion tour earlier this week, already a number of hotels have been accused of hiking their prices or cancelling existing bookings to cash in on the tour.
The venues and dates for the UK and Ireland tour next year are: Principality Stadium July 4 and 5; Heaton Park July 11, 12, 19, 20, 25 and 26; Wembley Stadium August 2 and 3; Murrayfield Stadium August 8 and 9; and Croke Park August 16 and 17.
There are also plans for dates outside Europe.
Tickets for the Croke Park gigs will go on sale on Saturday morning at 8am, while general sale for UK shows will begin at 9am.

A friend of mine got one of those pre-sale tickets and found out it was on the same day as his wedding… He asked me if I wanted to go in his place, I said yes.
He replied: “it’s at 3pm at [...] Church, I’m sure you’ll like her”
@Jerry LeFrog: Hahaha you made me laugh mate and I really needed it today. Brilliant
@Jerry LeFrog: Brilliant. Lol.
God be with the days when you could go to a store and pay for and be physically handed a fooking ticket!!!
@John arse: Yeah, god be with the days where you had to queue all night out in the rain to get a concert ticket. People have short memories.
@John arse: thank god those days are gone
@Tasty k: I don’t. Perfectly happy to do it. You like tickets harvested by bots to go to genuine fans? Or into the hands of touts.
Wait and see how many of them are up for resale tomorrow at 9 a.m.
Probably be a cheaper weekend to go to UK
It’s because they likely selected “no preference” in the system instead of “Dublin”
@R Fitz: only place I know that u can is soundceller on Nassau Street , got Inaler tickets last yr ,I don’t think they do the big bands mind ya but I could be wrong
Hotelier crying out for a vat decrease and then they gouge the h6le of you when there’s an event taking place
@Kieran Smith: Exactly , supply and demand
To see 4 or 5 dots on stage in Croke Park. No Thanks
@RIP: don’t go then , you obviously don’t appreciate live music
They need to put a ban on anyone outside of ireland buying tickets for irish gigs, they get more gigs than we do
@he didnt take the 120k because he already got it s:
@he didnt take the 120k because he already got it s: yeah all them foreigners taking our jobs and women and concert tickets
@he didnt take the 120k because he already got it s: can’t believe you actually typed that……no more irish buying premiership football tickets now on lads
@6gRrQtLn: i kinda disagree with that argument….if a concert is on in any country it should be sold to the citizens of that country first…then to the international market…it would create a fair share of d market…as our country is small where most artists would have more shows in bigger countries as it creates more revenue for them…opening up to international for any concert lessons the chance of people from the host country of getting tickets
Couldnt be ar$ed
@Stevie Doran: sure!!!
If they don’t want it, I’ll take it!
Four tickets secured. Going to be a great night
@M To The B: us too for the Saturday
I hope they split up
€177 for a standing ticket? Seriously MCD?? WTF.
Worked for us. We will be there 16Aug. I cannot wait.
Will be a proper show in Wembley might do crok Park for the Guinness though love it there either way a proper night
Made a bit of a digsy’s dinner of it..
Managed to get a few for the sat night, bit pricey but should be worth it, sad state of affairs in modern music when we’re going nuts for 90s band’s
@Paul A Kane. I hope your asthma improves immediately!
absolutely disgraceful that comments are allowed on this subject, where is the journal.ie censorship policy??? or is that censorship only allowed against certain groups like those who oppose genocide???
