Oasis fans are frustrated and disappointed after Ticketmaster began cancelling tickets for the band’s highly-anticipated 2025 reunion tour that are believed to have been purchased through bots. The move is impacting even legitimate buyers, as well as invalidating tickets that were improperly sold on resale platforms. Thousands of tickets are being affected by the crackdown, with fans expressing anger over the cancellations. “To say that we’re bots is totally out of order for Ticketmaster because we tried all day to get the tickets,” fan Leighah Conroy told the Guardian. “It just feels like my dreams have been completely crushed.” Ticketmaster is addressing the backlash by assuring all refunds are for tickets that break their terms and conditions, while warning fans against buying from unauthorized sources. Ticketmaster is also guiding affected customers through the refund process, and offering those who believe their refunds were issued by mistake an opportunity for review by tour promoters.
