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.
