Excitement and disappointment have swept through Ireland as Oasis fans eagerly anticipated the band’s reunion tour. Taoiseach Simon Harris expressed hope for additional Irish gigs after tickets for the two dates in August 2025 at Croke Park sold out quickly. Oasis announced a total of 17 shows across the UK and Ireland, with fans clamoring for a chance to see their favorite band live.
However, controversy arose as ticket prices surged, leaving many fans shocked and outraged. Calls for an investigation into Ticketmaster’s pricing structure have been made, with concerns over consumer protection being raised.
Political figures such as Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke and Tánaiste Micheál Martin have weighed in, promising action to address pricing issues. In the midst of the chaos, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald highlighted the unfair treatment of working-class fans and called for an end to dynamic pricing.
With even UK ministers feeling the sting of inflated prices, the call for change in the ticketing industry has grown louder. As fans await further developments, one thing is clear – the demand for fair ticket prices is stronger than ever.
