Thousands of Oasis tickets set to be cancelled for terms and conditions breaches | Ents & Arts News

Thousands of Oasis tickets listed on unauthorised sites will start to be cancelled “in the coming weeks”, promoters have warned.

There was huge demand when they went on sale and many fans were angry at being stuck in online queues for hours only to miss out or find prices had rocketed.

People trying to sell their tickets for a profit are breaking the terms and conditions of sale.

Tickets will be cancelled by Ticketmaster or See Tickets and made available again at face value – with details to be announced shortly.

A spokesperson for the promoters said only 4% of tickets had found their way onto resale sites, which still amounts to tens of thousands.

“The examination of ticket sales is ongoing and the results will be passed to relevant law enforcement once complete where appropriate,” a statement added.

Fans have been warned not to buy from authorised sites as their ticket could end up cancelled, while others could be fraudulent listings.

“If fans do want to sell Oasis tickets they can do so at face value through Ticketmaster or the band’s official resale partner Twickets,” the spokesperson added.

“For fans who believe they have had tickets cancelled in error, refer to the email sent by the relevant agent when informed.”

Oasis begin their reunion on 4 July in Cardiff before playing another 16 dates in the UK and Ireland.

The tour then moves to Canada, the US, Mexico, and Australia.

It will be the first time the band have toured since the Gallagher brothers had an infamous falling out in 2009.

The repercussions from the ticket-buying process have led to a proposed new law to improve pricing transparency and prevent fans from being ripped off.

The UK competition watchdog is also looking at the dynamic pricing system, which sees prices change according to demand.

Some tickets more than doubled from £148 to £355 when the Oasis UK shows went on sale as hundreds of thousands piled on to official websites.

Ticketmaster tried to fend off criticism by saying it did not set the pricing system, but fans’ anger only grew when some tickets turned up on secondary sites at massively inflated prices.

Starmer met Taylor Swift at concert after getting free tickets | Politics News

Sir Keir Starmer met Taylor Swift when he attended her concert in Wembley, Sky News understands.

It has emerged the prime minister and his family spoke to the pop star and her mum for 10 minutes and discussed the Southport stabbings.

It had not been clear previously if the two had met.

Sir Keir’s attendance at the concert has been the focus of increased scrutiny in recent weeks after Swift was given an enhanced police escort.

It is understood there was no discussion about the provision of security for the artist, which Downing Street said was an independent operational matter for the Met.

Sir Keir and his family were given free tickets to the concert on 20 August, which were declared as required, and have since been paid back.

The meeting came after the superstar cancelled gigs on her Eras Tour in Austria due to a terror threat, and the mass stabbing in Southport at a Taylor Swift dance class.

Sir Keir was invited to the August show by Universal Music, which is based in his constituency of Holborn and St Pancras.

He paid back the cost of the tickets after a row over ministers accepting freebies dominated headlines during his first 100 days.

However further questions were raised after a report in The Sun alleged Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and London Mayor Sadiq Khan spoke to the Metropolitan Police to encourage them to give the megastar a “VVIP escort” through for her Wembley Stadium concerts in August.

The Met were reportedly reluctant to sign it off as a blue-light escort is typically reserved for senior members of the Royal Family and high-level politicians, as it comes at huge expense to the taxpayer, the newspaper reported.

The government has denied that senior Labour figures, including the home secretary and London mayor, were given tickets to Swift’s August shows in the capital in exchange for police protection.

Last week, deputy prime minister Angela Rayner said it was down to the fact Swift’s concerts in Vienna had been cancelled due to a foiled terror attack, which was meant to kill tens of thousands of fans.

“We needed to make sure that that person was safe. And it was a policing matter, not an issue for politicians. It was the police that make the decision,” she said.

This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

Lisa Nandy says Sir Keir Starmer ‘very sensible’ to accept football tickets worth thousands | Politics News

Lisa Nandy has said Sir Keir Starmer’s decision to accept thousands of pounds worth of football tickets was “very sensible”.

The minister for culture, media and sport also said she had never accepted free clothes from a donor.

Speaking to Sky News at the start of the Labour Party conference today, the MP for Wigan said: “The problem that has arisen since [Sir Keir] became leader of the opposition and then prime minister is that for him to sit in the stands would require a huge security detail, would be disruptive for other people and it would cost the taxpayer a lot of money.

PM ‘pays for his season ticket’

“So I think he’s taken a very sensible decision that’s not the right and appropriate thing to do, and it’s right to accept that he has to go and sit in a different area.

“But I know that he’d much rather be sitting in the stands cheering people on with the usual crowd that he’s been going to the football with for years.”

Ms Nandy also said while she has not accepted free clothes – joking “I think you can probably see that I choose my own clothes sadly” – she doesn’t “make any judgements about what other members of parliament do”.

She said: “The only judgement I would make is if they’re breaking the rules, so they’re trying to hide what they’re doing. That’s when problems arise.

“Because the point of being open and transparent is that people can see where the relationships are, and they can then judge for themselves whether there’s been any undue influence.”

She asserted there had not been an undue influence in gifts accepted by senior Labour figures, adding: “We don’t want the news and the commentary to be dominated by conversations about clothes.

“We rightly have a system, I think, where the taxpayer doesn’t fund these things. We don’t claim on expenses for them. And so MPs will always take donations, will always take gifts in kind.

“MPs of all political parties have historically done that and that is the system that we have.”

She added: “I don’t think there’s any suggestion here that Keir Starmer has broken any rules. I don’t think there’s any suggestion that he’s done anything wrong.

“We expect our politicians to be well turned out, we expect them to be people who go out and represent us at different events and represent the country at different events and are clothed appropriately.

“But the point is that when we accept donations for that or for anything else, that we declare them and we’re open and transparent about them.”

Sir Keir, Angela Rayner and Rachel Reeves said yesterday they will no longer accept donations in the future to pay for clothes.

The announcement followed criticism of Sir Keir’s gifts from donors, which included clothing worth £16,200 and multiple pairs of glasses worth £2,485, according to the MPs’ register of interests.

The register shows Ms Rayner has accepted clothing donations to the value of £2,230.

Sky News also revealed the scale of Sir Keir’s donations this week as part of our Westminster Accounts investigation.

Sir Keir was found to have received substantially more gifts and freebies than any other MP – his total in gifts, benefits, and hospitality topped £100,000 since December 2019.

Oasis issue warning after pre-sale tickets relisted for thousands of pounds | Ents & Arts News

Oasis have issued a warning against people reselling tickets for their reunion tour at higher prices.

The band wrote on X: “We have noticed people attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market since the start of the pre-sale. Please note, tickets can ONLY be resold, at face value, via @Ticketmaster and @Twickets.”

It added that tickets sold in breach of terms and conditions will be cancelled by the promoters.

It comes after fans were left fuming as tickets, bought by those who received early access codes in a pre-sale ballot, were being resold for more than £6,000.

A limited amount of people were able to take a shot at securing a coveted ticket between 7pm and 10pm on Friday evening, with tickets sold on a “first come, first served basis”.

But shortly after going on sale, floor standing tickets ranged from around £807-£3,615 on StubHub while seats in some lower level sections reached a whopping £6,347.

Resale website Viagogo also advertised tickets for more than £2,000.

One fan wrote on X: “Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher, Oasis this is just wrong. So many of us are desperate to see you guys.”

Another added: “The fact that Oasis tickets are already being resold at insane prices is making me feel sick. What chance do actual fans have?”

Sky News have contacted StubHub and Viagogo for comment.

How much are Oasis tickets?

Prices for a seat to watch the band at London’s Wembley Stadium begin at £74.25, with the most expensive ticket a £506.25 pre-show party, exhibition and seated package.

The cheapest seats are Cardiff’s Principality Stadium shows, which will set you back £73, and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium at £74, according to Manchester-based promoter SJM Concerts, which runs the website Gigs And Tours.

Before the announcement for the UK shows, Irish promoter MCD said on its website that the price of both of the two Croke Park gigs in Dublin will start at 86.50 euros (£72.75) without booking fees.

Oasis sent fans into a frenzy after confirming the band’s reunion on Tuesday morning, following weeks of speculation.

The comeback comes 15 years after Noel famously quit.

Thousands of Eurovision tickets made available for Ukrainian refugees | UK News

Thousands of tickets for the Eurovision Song Contest will be allocated to displaced Ukrainians living in the UK.

The competition will take place at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool in May after the city was chosen to host the competition on behalf of 2022 winners Ukraine because of the Russian invasion.

As part of the UK’s commitment to honour Ukraine at the song contest, around 3,000 tickets will be made available so those forced from the country can attend the live shows.

The UK government has also announced £10m in funding to “help ensure the event truly showcases Ukrainian culture” on the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of the country.

The money will support Liverpool City Council and the BBC’s partnerships with Ukrainian artists and performers to create a show “celebrating music and how it unites people from around the world”.

It will also support security and visa arrangements, as well as other operational aspects of the contest, and Liverpool City Council’s schools, community and volunteering programmes.

Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said: “Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine means the contest cannot be held where it should be.

“But we are honoured to be supporting the BBC and Liverpool in hosting it on their behalf, and are determined to make sure the Ukrainian people are at the heart of this event.”

Ukrainian ambassador to the UK, Vadym Prystaiko, added: “The UK’s steadfast support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s invasion has been exemplary and this gesture is another example of that commitment.

“We are grateful to the UK Government, Liverpool City Council, and the BBC for their efforts to honour Ukraine’s culture and people through this event.”

The Mayor of Liverpool, Joanne Anderson, said that Ukraine will be “at the heart” of all of the city’s Eurovision plans.

She added: “We’re delighted with the news that displaced Ukrainians are being given the opportunity to come to the city in May – this is their Eurovision after all.”

Ukrainian folk-rap group Kalush Orchestra, who were triumphant at last year’s competition in Turin, Italy, will perform during the show as part of the tributes to the country.

Ukrainian broadcaster Timur Miroshnychenko, who has commentated on Eurovision in Ukraine since 2007, will also appear during the live shows to give insight from Ukraine’s commentary box in the arena.

This announcement comes on the anniversary of Russia’s invasion which forced millions of Ukrainians from their homes, with many finding refuge in the UK.

Those who are based in the UK through the Homes for Ukraine Scheme, the Ukraine Family Scheme and the Ukraine Extension Scheme will be able to apply for tickets for the song contest.

Tickets for displaced Ukrainians have been subsided by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, with a £20 charge to be applied to each sale.

Spaces will be offered for all nine live shows, including the semi-finals, the preview shows and the live final on 13 May.

Euro 2022: Scams and unofficial resales warning amid huge demand for England tickets | UK News

England’s magical run to the Women’s Euros final has led to huge demand for tickets to the game, and a warning that scams and unofficial resales could see people turned away.

Adam French, personal finance editor at The Money Edit website, said: “Tickets for Sunday’s final at Wembley are in hot demand.

“But the risk is clear, you could pay hundreds of pounds for unofficial resale tickets and not get in.”

He said if fans cannot get tickets officially “you’re better off watching the match at home”.

The Lionesses booked their place in the final after thrashing Sweden 4-0 on Tuesday.

The Money Edit said those who missed out on the chance to buy a ticket for the final may have the legitimate option of finding a friend or colleague with tickets who cannot attend, if they are willing to transfer the tickets.

However, tickets should be transferred before they “activate”, the website said.

Those attending the game were also reminded to take photo ID, in case additional checks are needed on the day.

The website also warned that fraudsters may try to sell duplicate print outs of legitimate tickets, or complete fakes, to passers-by on the street.

A Uefa spokesperson told The Money Edit: “All tickets to the Uefa Women’s Euro 2022 final are issued by Uefa and are subject to strict terms and conditions which prohibit their unauthorised advertisement, resale or transfer.”

The spokesperson said Uefa actively enforces its ticketing terms and conditions, including by monitoring the internet, and will take action (including cancelling tickets) where unauthorised advertisements are identified.
