Oasis’ Australian shows will not have dynamic ticket pricing
The rumours are true – Oasis are heading to Australia.
As part of their 2025 reunion tour, Noel and Liam Gallagher announced on Tuesday that the band will be heading down under next year, with two massive stadium shows confirmed at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on October 31 and Sydney’s Accor Stadium on November 7.
And while there have been some hiccups with the first batch of shows set for Europe next year – with some hundreds of thousands missing out on tickets – Australian tour promoters have confirmed to Mumbrella that dynamic ticket pricing will not be used for the Aussie gigs.
Dynamic ticket pricing refers to the seller not setting a fixed price for tickets and therefore can adjust the price based on demand.
As reported by The Guardian last month, tickets that were advertised for the European dates were originally set at £148.50 and eventually increased to £355.20 as demand increased.
However, it has been confirmed that the dynamic ticket pricing model will not be adopted for the Australian shows, much like the North American leg.
“It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable,” Oasis wrote in a statement when the North American concerts were announced.
“But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.”
General public tickets go on sale on Tuesday October 15 at 10am in Melbourne and 12pm in Sydney.
Mumbrella has contacted Live Nation Australia for comment.

These chavs were never big in the USA. Hyped up in the British tabloids, they made two albums that fitted the era (the first two), the rest wash wishy washy nursery rhyme rubbish as they churned out chart music and seemed to pursue the money train vs invest anything remotely advanced, progressive or experimental. (A bit like play for the crowd U2 and Coldplay.)
In short; if I get offered a hospitality ticket I still don’t think I would attend. I would pay an arm and a leg to watch Albarn any day though.
Music is of course subjective I guess?
(Has Noel ever found that elusive 4th chord?)

No dynamic pricing for Australia. Well, that was a bloody lie!
