Oasis fans who have not yet been able to secure tickets to the band’s Oasis Live ’25 gigs will no doubt be scouring the internet looking for deals. And while there are plenty of opportunities online to buy second hand tickets – from unknown brands, people on social media, and lots more – not all of them are legitimate.
Resale ticket seller StubHub has done some research on getting scammed with fake tickets for the upcoming Oasis gigs. And, at the time of writing, the results are pretty dire. People in London are second-most likely fans to be scammed by online dupers. And that’s not all.
Gen Z are set to be the hardest hit, as they are the largest audience likely to be in attendance at the shows.
With almost a third (32 percent) of UK music fans resorting to finding last-minute tickets to gigs on social media, nearly two in five (38 percent) could fall victim to fake ticket adverts on social media platforms.
And almost half of Gen Z (47 percent) admitted they’ve previously fallen victim by social media scammers.
With that in mind, fans are encouraged to get resale tickets from either official sellers, or larger, well-known resale websites, including StubHub, viagogo and Vivid Seats.
Here’s the breakdown:
Otherwise, official ticket seller Seat Unique has a collection of tickets available right now, including VIP and hospitality offerings.
This website not only sells tickets, but also includes such bonuses as complimentary food and drink, early access, after parties, and more.

Bob Kupbens, CEO of StubHub International, said of the resale market and this year’s offerings: “We’re set for an outstanding line-up of live music this summer, but we know that a dangerous shadow trend comes with that: the rise of fake tickets on social media.
“Intense fan excitement and dedication unfortunately creates fertile ground for scammers who use exploitative methods to sell fraudulent tickets in places without the required consumer protections.
“If you’re looking for a last minute gig ticket this summer, there are safe and secure spaces where you can buy with confidence. Regulated resale platforms like StubHub UK exist for this reason – to keep you protected from fraud when buying resale tickets, with money-back guarantees in case anything goes wrong.
“At StubHub UK, we are completely focused on fan protection and that’s why fans trust us time and again for tickets to unforgettable shows.”
