Oasis fans cry their hearts after Ticketmaster unexpectedly canceled their tickets on the reunion tour of the band – as they thought they were bots.

Several ticket holders received e -mails from the company who said that bots were identified for the band’s tour this year when buying their tickets, and asked them to fill out a form to solve the problem.

In August 2024, thousands of fans sat in virtual queues for up to eight hours to secure tickets for the surprise reunion tour, but some were disappointed when the ticketmaster crashed or pushed into the back of the queue.

Ticketmaster is then examined by inflation of ticket prices for the Reunion tour, whereby the general tickets as part of the company’s “Dynamic Pricing” model of the company more than doubled.

A fan who was excited to see the band on July 19 with their three friends in Heaton Park in Manchester, said that she felt “depressed” after she found out that her tickets were canceled.

The 24 -year -old Leigah Conroy from Cumbria said her friend, who does not want to be named, bought the tickets on August 28th last year, but received an e -mail from Ticketmaster on Friday, in which it was said ” became that bots were used to make this purchase “. .

“To say that we are bots is completely out of operation for Ticketmaster because we tried to get the tickets all day,” said Ms. Conroy of the PA News Agency.

“Our heads were pretty beaten in the last 24 hours.”

“I felt sick in my stomach. It is a band that you will never experience or will see again and you have been on my Bucket list for years. It just feels like my dreams have been completely depressed. “

Conroy said that each of them paid 150 pounds per ticket, while a room in a hotel was £ 40 for the night £ 200 per person.

The fan received a screenshot of her friend’s e -mail, which she posted on X/Twitter to process her problem faster after her friend had not received an answer from the company to her tickets.

She described how to deal with the situation by the company as “completely outrageous” and added: “Many fans want to answer why this happened and we simply have no answers.”

Another fan from Spain received the same e -mail on Friday. She had spent more than £ 3,000 for tickets and accommodations for her family to see Wembley Stadium in London on August 3.

Marta Bonnet, 48, thought that the e -mail was initially fake, but after she had found that it was a ticket master, she did not intend to buy tickets for future appearances.

“At first we thought that this e -mail was a fake or a spam -e email, but no, it was true,” said Tenerife lawyer in the Canary Islands.

“We usually use ticketmaster to buy our tickets … But now I can I trust this page that should be the official site? I really can’t believe what happened. “

Ms. Bonnet spent more than £ 1 to secure four premium tickets in August and had spent more than £ 2,000 for accommodations and flights for her family. She said it was unlikely that she would be refunded for the plane tickets.

A spokesman for Ticketmaster said: “Anyone who has been contacted and believes that a refund has been incorrectly made was sent to check the promoters of the tour.”

The band under the direction of brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher announced their reunification in August after 15 years. The Britpop Giants have been combining for a number of sold -out shows in London, Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin for the first time in 2009.
