group Oasis has issued a warning to its fans about the emergence of fake tickets being sold online ahead of the band’s upcoming reunion tour. The Grammy-nominated band took to Instagram to caution their followers, stating that thousands of fake Oasis tickets have already been discovered on StubHub and Vivid Seats before the North American tour has even gone on sale.

In this release, they highlighted evidence of at least 9,000 fake tickets already listed for sale for Oasis’ highly anticipated U.S. shows. The association also called for urgent intervention against deceptive practices by predatory ticket brokers and resale platforms.Oasis was founded in Manchester, England in 1991 by singer-songwriter Liam Gallagher and several friends. They gained fame with hit songs like “Wonderwall” and “Stop Crying Your Heart Out.” However, in 2009, just minutes before they were set to perform at a festival in France, the band announced their breakup due to tensions between Liam Gallagher and his older brother Noel Gallagher.
