‘Shut up’: Liam Gallagher shrugs off criticism of Oasis ticket prices

Especially the last bit, wtf!

’Fans said they queued online for hours only to find that the price of the £135 standing tickets had risen to £355.

On Friday morning, Liam posted on X: “OASIS are back your welcome and I hear there ATTITUDE STINKS good to know something’s never change.”

When fans responded by criticising the ticketing approach, including one X user who said he “didn’t expect [Oasis] to rip off the fans as much as they have done”, Gallagher replied: “SHUTUP”.

And when asked how he was feeling, the 51-year-old responded: “SMUG only kidding SMUG AS F* I told you all we were gonna get back together 1 fine day.”

Liam was also asked how his mother, Peggy, felt about him and Noel reuniting 15 years after the band split. “She’s gutted she couldn’t get a ticket,” he said. When one person questioned why he didn’t give her a free ticket, he said: “Free don’t be silly.”

The whole thing is ridiculous.. They will have fallen out again and all tickets will be refunded...
Imo.

I mean, the man's a massive dickhead isn't he. He's never pretended to be anything else.

Just an arrogant immature idiot. Why anyone would give him the satisfaction is beyond me. Horrible.

This is what the people who liked him back in the day expect though

Evergreen90 · 06/09/2024 17:50

I personally think he just plays a character

AnywhereAnyoneAnyTime · 06/09/2024 17:52

The gigs aren’t going to go ahead anyway. this is all just an attention seeking stunt to increase sales of their albums which have been re-released.

TheDandyLion · 06/09/2024 17:53

I expect nothing less from Liam.

This is the man who gave the finger to the entire crowd at Wembley and wouldn't play any more music until girls stripped their tops off so they could put it on the big screen to humiliate them.

SonicTheHodgeheg · 06/09/2024 17:53

They were never going to be sympathetic - they are well known arseholes and need to continue playing that part.

rainsofcastamere · 06/09/2024 17:54

I don't care! I spent a lot of money on Oasis tickets as I have done in the past, I'm glad I did and I really really don't care about what he's said!

Liam also says lots of things that he doesn't necessarily mean, sarcasm is his language and I very much doubt that if Peggy Gallagher wanted tickets Peggy Gallagher wouldn't have got them!

TheUsualChaos · 06/09/2024 17:54

Oh come on. The man's made a career out of winding people up and taking the piss. It gets him far more attention than being nice.

RedToothBrush · 06/09/2024 17:58

Earlier in the week it was being reported that Liam was upset at the pricing and it was the fault of the management and promoters not him. And it was likely to cause arguments between him and Noel because Noel was fine with it and Liam was the nicest one. Liam has been getting shedloads of abuse about it.

I don't think I'd expect anything but a double down though. If he said differently he'd be open to more abuse for not offering refunds.

Justcallmebebes · 06/09/2024 18:01

More shocked by his spelling and grammar. Liam Gallagher is an idiot and I'm not sure why you're surprised

This. You either get him, or you don't.

Oasis fans have seen this for 30 years…. no one’s ever really took Liam Gallagher seriously come on!

They can’t just cancel stadiums etc without some kind of financial penalty so i very much doubt it’s just all been to sell albums…. i’m not saying they won’t fall out and we are paying for their older age though

Fathercrispness · 06/09/2024 18:23

Nobody is an oasis fan because they think Liam and Noel are nice guys. They like the music. I still listen to Michael Jackson…

This can be arranged if that's your request 😆

Pedallleur · 06/09/2024 18:36

The gigs will happen. Too much ££ on the table. Just saying in Liamspeak what Springsteen said more diplomatically when he was criticized about the prices. Artists don't like it when they get found out. The Oasis publicist must have cringed.

Are you Liam's son?

GinNphonics · 06/09/2024 18:37

To be fair, he drinks in my local and I have to say, he is honestly a nice guy. I think it's all an act to get people talking/interested.

GinNphonics · 06/09/2024 18:38

To clarify- Liam drinks in my local.

CraigBrown · 06/09/2024 18:41

He’s always been an absolute dickhead as well as a sexist, homophobic piece of shit. No idea why anyone would be surprised.

SnapdragonToadflax · 06/09/2024 18:45

I mean... it's Liam Gallagher. He's playing the role of rock star. How much of it is really him probably depends on how much coke he's done recently.

This cannot possibly be a surprise to anyone over the age of 40.

Adventurerno24 · 06/09/2024 18:48

I think he's been on the Carling. He is DEAD to me though!!!

HomeTruth · 06/09/2024 18:50

Surely people aren’t taking this seriously?

He is taking the piss and people need to calm down. You really think he is serious about not giving his own mum a free ticket? He’s joking. Same as calling his own band names. It may not be funny but he’s clearly messing about.
