Oasis warn fans over reselling ahead of main ticket sale
Oasis have issued a warning against reselling tickets to their comeback tour, after some were listed for thousands of pounds within minutes of a pre-sale.
A limited number of fans were able to buy the first batch of tickets during a three-hour window on Friday evening.
Shortly after, tickets were being listed online for more than £6,000 - around 40 times the face value of a standing ticket.
Oasis urged people not to resell tickets at higher prices on websites not linked to their promoter, and said they would be "cancelled".
Fans who missed out on pre-sale tickets will be attempting to secure their place at the band's reunion concerts during Saturday's general sale, which starts at 09:00 BST in the UK and 08:00 in Ireland.
Consumer law expert Lisa Webb from Which? told BBC News fans should be strongly advised "against buying any of the resale tickets currently popping up online at inflated prices".
"Not only is there a chance that some of these listings could be scam attempts, but even legitimate tickets could be cancelled, rendering them invalid, if they are sold outside of the official resale platforms or at above face value," she said.
Meanwhile, Adam Webb, campaign manager at FanFair Alliance, which was set up to help customers and artists tackle the issue of ticket touting, called on ministers to act.
"We need some action from government, " he told the BBC.

"Sir Keir Starmer made an announcement in March, suggesting that Labour - if they came into power - would cap resell price. That's something we hope they're going to move ahead with."
In that speech, access to culture could not be "at the mercy of ruthless ticket touts who drive up the prices".
Soon after Friday's pre-sale began, ticket listings appeared on resale websites like StubHub and Viagogo, including:
