Well done to those with tickets!
Music Oasis reuniting for tour in 2025?
- Thread starter Jericholyte2
- Start date
I imagine it's his local show. It's also the first date, no?
I'm going for Cardiff because it's a 25-30 minute drive for me.
Dont know anyone who got a presale code, had a lot of people I know trying.
Yeh not one person I know succeeded in getting a code.
My brother in law got an email guaranteeing him a pre-sale code for being a "super fan" and that allowed him to buy 4 tickets so I'll be there on the 12th in Manchester!
I know two people who got codes. Both my mates girlfriends!
Two girlfriends? Lucky bastard.

I don't disagree with the notion that the songs on Definitely, Maybe sounds very same-ish. If that means dated for you, then they'd certainly be dated. To me it just means that their songs are same-y. For me it's more about the sound - the general distorted sound, from guitars to singing as well as the hooks and melodies. To me that, in itself, doesn't really date. It's a very simplistic sound that works in any time IMO. I don't think all the songs on the album are good, but the stuff I don't like is just not very good to me rather than it sounding like a relic from the 90s.
Blur might very well be a significantly better band. But one thing Oasis has is that they're more definite for the genre they played (they're the britpop band really, for better or for worse) than Blur is for any. Blur has successfully moved between sounds and genres, as opposed to Oasis that stayed the same, but have they really made any defining albums in any of those genres? Not really as far as I can tell. Anyway, I won't say anything to the contrary regarding Blur being better, but I do think Blur is much closer to Oasis than they are Radiohead.
@Ludens the Red You say that as if it's a bad thing. Citizen Kane is a brilliant film, and Radiohead is a brilliant band.
Closest to me and opening night, imagine the atmosphere first gig back
You've read it wrong.
He's only got two mates, and both of them have girlfriends (unlike him).
I prefer you when you’re writing essays
Seen them back in 2009 in a packed millennium stadium they were pretty good, wonder if they will still be able to perform at the same level now.
I'll remember to add the white text next time.
This and Slide Away are probably my favourites.
You want me to write 800 words on how you have barely any friends and no girlfriend?
Weird.
Doesn't work since they've added dark-mode, to be fair.
Good point. I'll make sure to type it once in black and once in white to cover all bases.
Is your brother in law @Wibble ?
I love the conviction with which people say other bands are much, much, much better than Oasis. Music is subjective. It’s how it makes you feel at that moment in your life. It’s how it’s stirs those memories still.
I fecking loved Radiohead. But Radiohead never had a Knebworth moment. Those 2.5m people who tried to get tickets must have been wrong. Why didn’t anyone tell them Radiohead were a much, much, much, much better band.

You gotta roll with it
My mum in her 70s managed to secure 4 tickets in the presale that’s me sorted 
very happy.
very happy.Good to know that some people got presale codes as no one I know got one...actually not good to know as I am a little bitter, but can try in the scramble tomorrow if the internet doesn't break...
The daft thing about it all is that music isn't exclusive. You can like Oasis and other bands, and go to see a range of bands at gigs, festivals, tours, etc. I never really understand why people get tribal about their disliking of other bands or pitting them against each other. It's fine to watch Taylor Swift one week and Slipknot the next.
I love Radiohead and will jump at the next opportunity to see them live. Grew up with both, so...it's all good.
I didn't get into the presale. A little gutted. Spent all day today and yesterday refreshing my emails to see if I got that magical code and it just never came. Not terribly optimistic that I'm going to get tickets tomorrow. Preparing myself for heartbreak tomorrow!
Well done and enjoy to all those who got lucky with the presale. It's going to be a huge cultural event and milestone.
Music is subjective indeed, and I never said that Oasis wasn't good or great. But I don't think it's a controversial thing to say that Radiohead is a much better band (or maybe that they have the much superior discography at this point). Doesn't mean that Oasis isn't great as well.
No one is saying that 2.5 million people were wrong. No one is even saying that Radiohead is a better live band than Oasis. At that time I'm sure Oasis could be argued being a better band than Radiohead anyway. And I'm sure that most of the people that were there had brilliant experiences, must have been absolutely fantastic.
If I got the chance to see Oasis in this reunion (if they come anywhere near me, that is) I'd see them in a heartbeat. I very much agree that I don't get why liking one band or artist would make you dislike or unable to appreciate another artist or band. I listen to all kinds of music, I'd gladly see Taylor Swift one week and Moonsorrow the next. I still think it's possible to discuss whether an artist or band is better than another artist or band.

So I bought 4 pre sale tickets using my card on my friend’s account. Am I right in thinking that I can’t buy another 4 for my friends tomorrow for the same show but I could for a different show? What if I used a different card? And does the 4 per household limit only apply to Ticketmaster ie can I buy 4 from See Tickets for the same show for my friends?
Minded not to risk Ticketmaster cancelling my existing tickets so have a different card ready but if they trace it back to my name and billing address, may still be the same issue so may avoid altogether.

It will just be the ticket master account I think
This chap got plenty of attention online for his opinion piece.

My MIL said he's the step-brother of her best friend's ex-husband and said, "he's always been a nobhead".
You're very likely overthinking it. If these artists really gave one ounce a feck about the secondary market or people having too many tickets, they'd start going the Glastonbury route.... which really, is next to impossible to fully implement for a one day event anyway. All Oasis are thinking right now are "Why didn't we charge £250? feck sake"
The token "we know theres this happening, we'll cancel those tickets" has been going on for years.
What is that hairThis chap got plenty of attention online for his opinion piece.
Think I am overthinking it but just going to use mate's account with separate card/billing address to be safe...
Nostalgia really isn’t what it used to be
I do have a What's The Story CD in a box in my shed. Does that count?
Theyre in their 50's now....

Yeah no joy for me either. You’d think they’d have better servers with the amount they rip people off
