Liam Gallagher had a blunt response when a fan asked him about Oasis tour ticket prices
Liam Gallagher has issued a blunt response to complaints about ticket prices for the upcoming Oasis tour, telling fans to ‘shutup’.
Ever since tickets to see the Gallagher brothers together for the first time in 15 years went on sale last Saturday (31 August) there has been plenty of talk about the ticketing process both on and offline.
Fan ire was specifically directed at the use of dynamic pricing on Ticketmaster, which saw queuing fans discover the already pricey tickets inflate by around £200 towards the end of the sale.
The move left would-be Oasis concert goers in a sour mood, with the band and ticketing website since facing a significant amount of backlash online.
Liam has since been unable to resist wading into the debate and fired up his social media in order to issue his own response to the comments.

“OASIS are back your welcome and I hear there ATTITUDE STINKS good to know something’s never change LF***KING x,” he wrote on X.
Unsurprisingly, the post divided fans, with one user replying that ticket prices were ‘genuinely a shame’ and accused the pair of ripping fans off.
However Liam was having none of it, posting a two word reply which read: “SHUTUP.”

Straight to the point.
The singer also appeared to poke fun at the ongoing ticket drama in a reply to another fan who asked him: “Got any spare tickets?”
“S**t loads but there really expensive 100 thousand pounds Kneeling only,” he replied. Fortunately the fan found the reply humorous, adding: “Sounds like a bargain. Sign me up.”
Meanwhile a third user asked the singer a more diplomatic question about how he was feeling about the reunion, to which Liam replied that we knew the band would get back together one day.
“SMUG only kidding SMUG AS F**K I told you all we were gonna get back together 1 fine day,” he wrote.

Meanwhile the band have also put out an official response to dynamic pricing via a press release, writing: “It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used.
“While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations.”
The statement added: “All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience, but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve”
