I’m not sure if you’ve heard the news, but Oasis are officially back together and will be embarking on what’s sure to be a sell-out tour around the UK & Ireland in 2025.
Gen Z and Gen X are already at each other’s throats over which generation is more deserving of watching Oasis live next summer, but if you want to be in with the best chance of snagging tickets this Saturday morning, here’s what you have to do…

1. Make a Ticketmaster account
This seems a bit obvious, but you really should take care of it now in order to save time on Saturday morning. As the band said in their announcements – you should ‘register in advance of the sale with the relevant ticket agencies’ rather than faff about at 9am on Monday morning. So head over to seetickets.com or ticketmaster.co.uk if you’re in the UK and ticketmaster.ie if you’re in Ireland and sort that out now.
2. Use multiple devices, but one browser window
The key to beating the queue is to have a good internet connection and rapid eyesight and reflexes. But you can boost your chances even more by loading up the site on one browser window, but using multiple devices. After all, you can only look at one browser window at a time, but if you smash a coffee before 9am your eyes can flit rapidly between screens, so try and get tickets with your phone and your computer rather than one or the other.
3. Use Refresh button strategically
According to The Radio Times, the best time to refresh the page is 10 seconds before tickets go on sale. They also suggest logging onto Ticketmaster 10 minutes before the floodgates open, so once you do that, make sure you hit refresh at 08:59:50, and not a second sooner or later.
Do NOT refresh the page if you’ve made it into the queue for tickets, that could get you kicked to the back of the line and almost certainly scupper your chances completely. Don’t be an idiot – just refresh 10 seconds before 9am and you’ll be in with a good chance.
And that’s that really. Create a Ticketmaster account now, have multiple devices ready to go, get online on Saturday 31 August at 8.50am, and refresh the page 10 seconds before 9am.
Obviously, if you’re in Ireland, do the same thing but on ticketmaster.ie and an hour earlier.
Best of luck, everyone!
