Oasis ticket-selling websites hit with outage issues as millions queue to buy

Oasis fans face a struggle to secure general sale tickets for the band’s comeback tour as booking websites experienced outages on Saturday 31 August.

Manchester-based promoter SJM Concerts’ website Gigs and Tours faced issues even before tickets went on sale for the UK shows at 9am.

The site displayed messages saying: “Please bear with us. At the moment there are a lot of people on the site looking for tickets, so we have put a queuing system in place, which is completely normal.”

Similar issues were encountered on Ticketmaster’s UK and Ireland pages for shows at Dublin’s Croke Park and across England.
