The incredible news comes just a few days after the British rock band confirmed the tickets for their new five shows in North America will not be subject to dynamic pricing.

The iconic Britpop duo was hit with heaps of backlash after furious fans had to pay a staggering amount to get tickets due to the popularity in the tour.

When Oasis confirmed their 2025 reunion tour, the price of standard tickets doubled from ÂŁ148 to ÂŁ355.

Ticketmaster said prices were driven up by surging demand and the policy had been agreed with the band’s management, Oasis itself said they were unaware of dynamic pricing would be implemented when tickets initially went on sale.

Now, as they release a handful of new dates, Liam and Noel have agreed to ditch the controversial dynamic pricing to ensure fans are paying a fair price.

Around 14million fans faced eight-hour queues in a bid to get their hands on the highly-sought-after tickets to see the rock band live, with many still missing out. 

In a statement shared across social media on Monday, Oasis promised fans they want not have the same fiasco with dynamic pricing.

It read: ‘Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model will not be applied to the forthcoming sale of tickets to Oasis concerts in North America. 

It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable.

‘But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.

‘We have made this decision for the North America tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the UK and Ireland experienced recently.’  

Oasis confirmed they will regroup for a series of lucrative summer shows in August – their first since 2009. 

This year marks 30 years since the band released their debut studio album, Definitely Maybe, which sailed to the top of the UK charts earlier in the month, bolstered by the release of a deluxe edition celebrating its anniversary. 

Oasis released two live records during their heyday back in the 2000s.

They released Familiar To Millions in November 2000 – four months after Oasis debuted at Wembley.

Their first release sold more than a million copies.

Knebworth 1996 was their second release, and this was recorded across two shows at the Hertfordshire venue and was released in September 2021.
