“Fans of Oasis are being targeted by a surge of ticket scams on social media, as the… rock icons prepare to tour the UK this summer for the first time since 2009,” the UK lender said in a statement.
The chaotic scramble for the prized tickets followed the announcement in August last year that brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher had ended their infamous 15-year feud and were reuniting for a worldwide tour.
Oasis — whose hits include “Wonderwall”, “Don’t Look Back In Anger” and “Champagne Supernova” — kick off the reunion tour on July 4 in Cardiff before playing in their home city, Manchester, the following week.
Other venues include Buenos Aires, Chicago, London, Sydney, Tokyo and Toronto.
