Liam Gallagher breaks his silence following Oasis dynamic pricing furore
He has returned to social media
Liam Gallagher has returned to social media in the wake of the Oasis tickets furore.
Many fans were enraged last Saturday (31st August) when ‘in demand’ tickets more than doubled in price on Ticketmaster thanks to dynamic pricing.
Four days later, Oasis issued a statement denying they had “any awareness” that dynamic pricing was going to be used for the 2025 reunion tour.
Liam Gallagher, who is usually highly active on X, remained silent for almost a week.
Taking to X for the first time since the on-sale, Liam Gallagher referenced the controversy by writing: “OASIS are back your (sic) welcome and I hear there (sic) ATTITUDE STINKS good to know something’s never change.”
One follower voiced his disapproval of the dynamic pricing, writing: “Didn't expect them to rip the fans off as much as they have done.”
Liam replied in his idiosyncratic style “SHUTUP”
When another fan asked what Liam and Noel’s mum Peggy thinks of the reunion, Liam quipped: “She’s gutted she couldn’t get a ticket.”
Asked how he feels about the reunion, he responded: “SMUG only kidding SMUG AS F--- I told you all we were gonna get back together 1 fine day.”
Yesterday (5th September), the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced they were launching an investigation to scrutinise whether the sale of Oasis tickets by Ticketmaster may have breached consumer protection law.
A day earlier, Liam and Noel Gallagher announced two extra dates at London Wembley Stadium in September 2025 for those who missed out first time around. Tickets will be sold by a staggered, invitation-only ballot process.
