Furious Oasis fans have taken to social media to vent their anger after they were kicked out of the mammoth queues for reunion tour tickets.
Thousands were left devastated after they failed to grab tickets in yesterday’s general sale – with the band confirming all 17 of their shows had been sold out by 7pm.
But many blamed technical issues on Ticketmaster for their failures as they were forced into a queue just to join the waiting room, while others reported getting kicked out of the website as they got to the front having waited in the virtual line for several hours.
Some hopefuls also reported being ‘suspended’ by the ticket seller after it accused them of being ‘bots’.
One teary-eyed fan posted a TikTok last night with the caption: ‘A massive f*** off to all the people that will be watching oasis next year because some of us got accused of being robots and got suspended.’

Bookmakers put the odds of landing one of the 1.4million tickets at just 14/1 and 97 per cent of applicants have bene left ticketless after yesterday’s chaotic sale.
But the general sale, which followed a limited pre-release sale on Friday, was labelled a ‘utter fiasco’ by fans – as many were unable to access the websites of Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours or SeeTickets.

Her devastation quickly turned to anger as she pointed at the camera and said: ‘Now I wish they break up again.’
Standing tickets were originally listed from £151.25, and seated from £74.25 in London – but apparent screenshots from the Ticketmaster website offering In Demand standing tickets for 415.50 euros each, plus fees, equivalent to around £350.
Fans called for the boycott of Viagogo as greedy resellers began trying to flog reunion tour tickets for almost £7000.
Similarly on Friday evening, Oasis tickets for Wembley Stadium were listed on Viagogo for up to £5,909 while some tickets at the London venue, listed under ‘Hospitality Club’, were on sale for £10,578 on StubHub.
The first batch of tickets went on sale yesterday at 7pm for those lucky enough to get a pre-sale code.
But within minutes of the sale going live, tickets were being resold for up to £10,000 by greedy touts.

While the band assured measures to avoid resales of the tickets above face value, fans have criticised ticket selling websites over the pricing of their ‘in demand’ tickets online
Oasis soon assured on social media that tickets ‘can only be resold at face value via Ticketmaster and Twickets’.
‘Tickets appearing on other secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be cancelled by the promoters.’
The Britpop band, who split nearly 15 years ago and released their chart-topping album Definitely Maybe around three decades ago, announced the series of dates will kick off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
Noel, 57, quit the Manchester rock group on August 28 2009, saying he ‘simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer’.
Fans have been pleading with the brothers to regroup since they disbanded, prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Reunion rumours have intensified recently after they teased an announcement for 8am on Tuesday, and reports that the feuding brothers were ending their disagreement.
Confirming the Oasis Live 25 tour, they said: ‘The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.’
The 17-date tour runs from July 4 to August 17, kicking off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium before heading to Manchester’s Heaton Park, Wembley Stadium in London, Murrayfield in Edinburgh and Croke Park in Dublin.
