50,000 Oasis tickets to be cancelled for violating purchase terms

Promoters said the affected tickets were bought using prohibited techniques, including acquiring more than four tickets per household and using multiple identities

Ticketmaster will cancel about 50,000 tickets for the UK and Ireland dates of Oasis’s reunion tour for violating the company’s terms and conditions in the coming weeks, the BBC reports. Promoters Live Nation – which is part of Ticketmaster – and SJM told the BBC that 4% of tickets sold – close to 50,000 – ended up on resale sites. A spokesperson for Oasis did not confirm whether the resale would be subject to dynamic pricing, the practice of inflating prices based on demand that caused controversy around the original sale – and was later scrapped for the international sales for dates in North and South America and Australia.
