Oasis fans scramble for tickets as band warns against reselling / BBC News

"Shortly after a three-hour pre-sale for a limited number of fans began on Friday, tickets for the UK gigs were being listed online for more than UK$6,000 - around 40 times the face value of a standing ticket.

Oasis urged people not to resell tickets at higher prices on websites not linked to their promoter, and said they would be "cancelled".

Soon after Friday's pre-sale began, ticket listings appeared on resale websites like StubHub and Viagogo, including:"


- UK$6,000 for Oasis's show at Wembley Stadium in London on 26 July
- Between UK$916 and UK$4,519 for the first concert of the tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 4 July
- Over UK$4,000 for standing tickets at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium on 12 August
- More than UK$2,500 for the band's homecoming concert at Manchester's Heaton Park on 12 July

"Ahead of the pre-sale, promoters said standing tickets will cost about UK$150, while standard seated tickets range from UK$73 to about UK$205. Prices for official premium packages go up to UK$506."
