Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour has talked about Oasis’ return and the price of their tickets.
In a recent interview with ITV, Gilmour admitted that he was confused by the ticketing problem, “Oasis should do what’s right for them. Chose a ticket price and stick to it.”
While Gilmour doesn’t look like he would be paying the money for the tickets, another rocker thinks the band deserves the ‘whatever bazillions of dollars they’re charging.’
“I mean, look, one of my favorite choruses of all time,” Myles Kennedy said of Oasis during another interview with Rockklassiker. “As a songwriter, a lot of times we think in parts, like, ‘Oh, that’s a great part. Why couldn’t I have written that part?’ And to me, one of the greatest choruses ever written is ‘Champagne Supernova.’ That is such a massive hook. So I would love to see that live. Just that moment would be worth whatever bazillions of dollars they’re charging [for tickets].”
Whatever the price is, it appears that the band members are not doing it for the money. “Everyone saying you both are doing it for the money are out of their minds it’s for the music, the fans, and each other,” a fan told Liam Gallagher on X. Liam said in response, “There’s lots of reasons for doing it family fans music biblical vibrations and curly wurlys as that’s what I’m getting paid in so all those money rumours are just not true.”
Many Oasis fans waited online for hours to get tickets, only to find they had to pay more than double the original price. For example, standard standing tickets that were supposed to be £148 were going for £355. The band said in a statement that they leave ticketing and pricing decisions to their promoters and management, and they had no idea dynamic pricing would be used.
Oasis’ 2025 tour has 19 shows planned so far and is expected to be the biggest concert launch ever in the U.K. and Ireland. Over 10 million people from 158 countries tried to buy tickets, and they sold out in less than a day.
