Oasis have announced a reunion tour, with shows taking place across the UK and Ireland in 2025.
Putting their differences aside, Noel and Liam Gallagher have confirmed dates for Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin - with tickets going on general sale this weekend.
If you're an eager fan hoping to secure seats, it's important to watch out for dodgy deals and scammers before placing any orders.
Music fans have been plagued by ticket scams this year; Action Fraud has received more than 10,000 reports of ticket fraud in the past 13 months, with £9.8m lost.
Here, we look at how to get Oasis tickets, how to spot scams and your rights when a gig is cancelled or postponed.
How can I get Oasis Live '25 tickets?
There will be a pre-sale ballot of tickets ahead of the general sale on Friday, 30 August 2024.
Registration for the ballot is now open and will close at 7pm BST (British Summer Time) on Wednesday 28 August.
You'll need to fill out your details and answer a general knowledge question about the band.
The ballot works on a first-come, first-served basis. Successful applicants will receive a further email from 'oasismynet' with access information on Friday by 12pm BST.
You can buy four tickets per household.
General sale Oasis tickets
If you miss out on the presale ballot, tickets for the UK and Ireland tour dates will go on general sale on Saturday 31 August.
Tickets for the UK tour dates will be available from 9am BST and Dublin tickets will be available from 8am IST (Irish Standard Time).
You should only buy tickets from the official primary ticket sellers. For the UK shows, these sellers are Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours and See Tickets.
And for Dublin shows, you can get your tickets from www.ticketmaster.ie.
It's worth signing up to these official ticket agents ahead of time as websites will be very busy when tickets go on sale.
Again, you can only buy four tickets per household.
What if I miss out on tickets?
If you're unsuccessful with the general sale, you can still try to secure tickets through the official resale platforms Twickets or Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan exchange.
Ticket resales will be allowed at no more than the price that was paid (its face value plus booking fees) on these platforms.
Which? research has previously found that tickets listed on secondary ticket sites, such as Viagogo or Stubhub, are often sold at inflated prices.
The event organisers have said that selling and buying tickets through these unauthorised resale platforms will be in breach of their T&Cs - meaning you could be turned away at the door.
This means you should also avoid buying tickets via social media.
Ticket scams have been rife on social media in recent months, with Taylor Swift fans losing more than £1m to ticket scammers ahead of The Eras Tour, according to Lloyds Bank.
The best way to avoid being swindled is to stick to the official ticket sites.

What do I do if the gig is cancelled?
As long as you've bought from one of the official ticket sellers, you will get a refund if your show is cancelled or postponed under rules from The Society of Ticket Agent & Retailers (STAR).
These refund rules don't apply if you buy from a secondary ticket site, such as Stubhub or Viagogo.
Even if you've bought from a primary ticket seller, it's unlikely you'll be able to claim back any additional expenses, such as pre-booked travel or hotel accommodation.
If you're struggling to get your money back for a cancelled show, you can try to make a Section 75 claim if you paid by credit card or a chargeback claim with your bank if you paid by debit card.

My accommodation has cancelled my booking
Since the tour was announced, there have been reports of hotels cancelling bookings that coincide with Oasis tour dates and relisting the rooms for inflated prices.
Unfortunately, these underhand tactics from accommodation companies have become more common in recent years, particularly when big events in the local area drive up demand for rooms.
If your booking is unexpectedly cancelled, only for the room to be relisted, it's worth carefully checking the T&Cs of your accommodation and the booking platform (if you used one).
Booking.com previously confirmed to Which? that properties that engage in such practices are in breach of its T&Cs. It said it would remove these properties from its website and try to find you suitable alternative accommodation at no additional cost.

Five tips for buying tickets safely
Whatever event you’re going to this summer, it’s important to be wary of scammers and bad deals.
Follow these tips to make sure that you're buying legitimate tickets.
- Stick to official retailers -it’s always best to buy from official websites. In the event of a sell-out, some artists and promoters partner with resale sites such as Twickets, which only allows tickets to be resold at face value or below. Other resale websites exist, but most aren't affiliated with artists and allow resellers to charge whatever they want.
- Only enter official competitions -you should only enter ticket competitions advertised by legitimate brands on their official channels and websites. You can use who.is to check when a website was created. A newly created website can be a red flag.
- Be alert to scammers on social media -buying tickets from strangers on social media can leave you open to being scammed. In particular, you should watch out for newly set-up profiles that follow no one or have no followers. These accounts may have been opened specifically to scam people looking to buy tickets. You can also use reverse image search to check where profile images originate from.
- Avoid offers that seem too good to be true - when buying tickets for sold-out events, be wary of prices that seem too cheap, as fraudsters may be using these to lure you in.
- Don’t pay by bank transfer - fraudsters will sometimes try to get you to make bank transfers or pay in Bitcoin. If you do choose to buy tickets from an individual seller, try to pay using a credit card so you’re protected by Section 75. Alternatively, PayPal has its own Buyer Protection system.
If you’ve lost money to a scammer, call your bank immediately using the number on the back of your card. Report the scam to Action Fraud or call the police on 101 if you’re in Scotland.
