How the fuck is this going to happen (oasis)

Myself and dh would love to go next year. As would most of the country I'm guessing ha ! The last concert I went to was Britney when I was 10 so I'm new to ticketmaster. Just reading through some threads on Reddit and I'm seriously thinking how the fuck are we even going to be in with a chance of getting tickets with the lengths some people go to?! Multiple devices, different WiFi connections, different sites etc etc
Why can't it just be simple ?? I know it's probably not going to happen for us but it does make me sad, Oasis wasn't my era, I was a child in the 90's but I do love their music and would love to see them live !

Good luck everyone getting tickets!!! Not long to go now 😊

As others have pointed out, their performance was dull and lacked energy, even back in 1995. It will likely feel like karaoke. You'd get more bang for your buck with a younger, more enthusiastic band that brings an edgier vibe.

People are quite capable of making their own decisions for goodness sake. Whenever someone posts about any band or anything someone always posts shite like this.

That was 30 years ago! It was a different time and place. A lot of bands from that era perform much better now once they're older and don't need to act like twats/be on coke/cater to a mardy audience to maintain a reputation. A lot changes in 30 years, and it's irrational to compare them to how it was back then. Also it will be a much more international audience now than back then as air travel wasn't quite so cheap. No one expects Swift or even Jagger style level of performance and it's not about how engaging they are (fans are aware of their flaws) - people are going to re-live nostalgia for 2 hours by seeing them reform. And then life will carry on. There's always been arseholes at festivals and gigs tbh - no matter what band. Some venues will be worse than others for hooliganism and drugs, but going seated is one way to avoid carnage in GA but still be standing and enjoying the music. No one sits for long in seated tbh.

I’m in the queue for DH. There are 130,000 people ahead of me!

Lovewine1975 · 31/08/2024 11:33

Didn't manage to get tickets the only ones left were out of our price range, hope they add more dates!

Well you wouldn't really, would you? Because you won't know all the words, the whole crowd won't be singing, and you won't have the joy of passing the anthems of your generation to your kids and also.....

... perhaps a minor detail, but it won't be fucking OASIS 😎

You're right, sorry for the negativity. Enjoy your concert(s). I think I'm just frustrated at over-hyped mediocrity in general x

Ticketmaster app seems to have gone a bit wonky

WalterHWhite · 31/08/2024 13:04

Have just looked at the capacity in Cardiff - 75,000 ish. If I’m 257000 in the queue how does that work? Why aren’t they just saying they’ve sold out?

pollypocet · 31/08/2024 13:48

Get off ticketmaster it messed us around for 4 hours, in the end we got tickets to Cardiff 🥳🥳 through gigs and tours ! Took all of 4 mins

Lmao could you be any more pretentious? Over hyped mediocrity when you've chosen to enter a thread about an event is crazy!

GoldPlayer · 31/08/2024 16:50

I'm crazy but you're paying probably about £700 to listen to a couple of cunts singing songs in the same A, E, and C chords over and over again 😂

Well all day I’ve been on site, got to no 1 then showed me Wembley stadium, showed what tickets are available, then chucked me out saying I had to many devices logged in. WTF. It’s me on my phone😩

HeBeaverandSheBeaver · 31/08/2024 18:37

3 times I got too the basket and 3 times I was chucked out. Absolutely useless. Will try for resale tix in case of returns.
