Oasis 2027: Ticketing specialist shares tips to guarantee seats

Liam and Noel Gallagher have been plotting a spectacular 12-night residency at the ground of their beloved Manchester City in the summer of 2027 as part of a huge tour that is set to be announced within weeks.

This has got fans instantly engaged and on high alert, with Google search interest rising by +1750% for “Oasis 2027 tour” this week alone.

With that in mind, Maarten Zomerdijk, Director at concert ticket resale marketplace Fanatix, has shared his top tips for preparing for presale and guaranteeing tickets to such a highly anticipated event.

How to secure tickets to Oasis

Preparation is key

“There is a surprising amount of preparation that goes into buying tickets for events nowadays,” says Maarten.

“As soon as the tour is released, fans should first find out if they have access to presale tickets. This might be via a credit card, artist mailing list, or the venue itself. This will save blood, sweat and tears down the line.

“Next, fans need to work out which platform tickets will be sold on. It’s important that they create an account as soon as possible so they can join the queue on the day of either presale or general sale, or, better yet, join the waiting room if there is one.

“Fans also need to keep in mind that many ticketing platforms will have a cap of 4-6 tickets per person. If you want to grab more than that, you’ll need multiple people involved in securing the tickets.”

Don’t refresh your browser

“It can be tempting to refresh your browser when waiting in the queue for tickets, especially if you’ve queued for a long time, but don’t fall victim to it,” says Maarten.

“The ticketing platform will automatically refresh for you, so you don’t need to do it. If you do refresh your page, you’ll lose your place in the queue.”

Stick to one device

“Many fans also feel tempted to queue for tickets on multiple devices or tabs, but they should stick to just one,” says Maarten.

“Using multiple devices or tabs on the same network can look suspicious to the ticketing platform, and you might get flagged as a bot. This’ll remove you from the queue completely.”

“Instead, stick to one device. Some fans find using a phone to be more successful, as platforms might have app versions and you can connect to 4G or 5G easier, which can be faster than many home networks.”

Sold-out tickets aren’t a dead end

“Many fans experience waiting for hours in virtual ticket queues just to be told the tickets are sold out. But all hope shouldn’t be lost,” says Maarten.

“If, by the time you’re at the front of the queue, the ticketing platform says there are no tickets left, this is actually a major moment of opportunity.

“Oftentimes, fans ahead of you in the queue will not check out their tickets. This is because the price can come as a shock, or the fan just isn’t super prepared for what they want to buy.

“In this scenario, stay on the platform and join the queue again. Tickets will surely populate again, and hopefully you’ll strike gold.”

Only use trustworthy resale sites

“It’s a massive shame when fans aren’t able to get their hands on tickets straight away, but tickets will always become available again,” says Maarten.

Maarten shares his top tips for ensuring a resale site is trustworthy:

• Look out for a TrustPilot score of 3.5/5 or higher – this is a universal symbol of trust for consumers.

• Read reviews from other fans – how positive are they overall? If there are only a handful of reviews, all of which are extremely positive or negative, be wary. Expect to see at least 20+ reviews of the site on any one review platform.

• Ensure sellers are vetted, and tickets are verified on the site – look out for this statement on the website. This means you can buy with confidence and peace of mind.

“Finally, for fans hoping to save as much money as they can on resale tickets, wait until 48 hours or less before the event. This is when sellers will be most inclined to decrease prices to at least get some money from the ticket back.”
