Fans Warned Over £1,333 Ticket Listing and Fake Emails
A £1,333 resale listing for Celtic Park and a wave of fake ballot code emails pushed Oasis to warn fans about ticket scams during the sale period.
One ticket for the opening night of Live ‘27 appeared on Viagogo at £1,333. The seat sits in section 101 at Celtic Park for 21 May 2027. The asking price stood at more than three times the ticket’s face value.
The band answered listings like that weeks ago. Oasis warned fans that tickets bought on secondary sites risk cancellation. The Glasgow date opens the tour, and opening night demand feeds the worst prices.
Celtic Park face values give the listing its true scale. Seated tickets at the Glasgow ground topped out at £263.50. The Oasis Glasgow 2027 page holds the full price ladder for the venue.
Social media offers carry the same warning in stronger words. The band told fans that tickets offered over social media “will be fake”. No official route sells Oasis tickets through direct messages or fan groups.
The fake emails arrived before the sale
Scammers targeted fans before a single ticket existed. Fake code emails impersonated Oasis, the band’s mailing list and official ticket partners. Each message pushed fans toward links that harvest details or money.
For context, the ballot design made the scam plausible. Successful fans genuinely received codes by email from 24 September. A fake message could hide inside that real traffic all too easily.
The defence costs fans nothing. Genuine codes live inside official Ticketmaster accounts and the Oasis resale tickets system. Fans should type addresses themselves and ignore every emailed link.
Meanwhile, the Oasis ticket scams guide catalogues the current tricks in one place. New variants appear whenever demand spikes around this tour. The guide updates as the band and platforms issue fresh warnings.
That said, desperation drives most scam losses. More than 11 million fans registered, and two million tickets existed. A fan who missed out wants to believe the miracle listing.
History gives the cancellation warning real teeth. During the Live ‘25 sale cycle, promoters cancelled more than 50,000 tickets found on unauthorised resale sites. That purge covered about four percent of that entire sale.
A buyer caught in such a purge loses twice. The ticket dies at the gate, and the money often stays with the seller. Platforms outside the official system offer no rescue worth trusting.
Worth noting: opening night listings carry the fattest markups for a reason. The first Glasgow show starts the tour, and scarcity peaks before night one. Scammers price for the emotion of that specific evening.
Fans can run three checks in under a minute. Compare the price with face value, confirm the platform, and ignore social media sellers completely. A listing that fails any check deserves no second look.
Anyone who already bought outside the official route should act early. Contact the platform, save every message, and watch for cancellation notices. The official resale route still offers a clean way back in.
Fake emails borrowed trust from real brands with care. Each fake message copied the look of a sender fans already trusted. One careless click could hand over card details or account passwords.
Premium seats attract premium scams on every major tour. A named section and a huge price create urgency on purpose. Urgency pushes fans past the checks that normally protect them.
In the end, the warnings protect the honest market as well. Every fan who walks away from a scam listing keeps demand inside official resale. Face value tickets then reach real fans instead of fraudsters.
On the practical side, the benchmark test never fails. The Oasis ticket prices page lists every face value on the tour. Any price far above that line marks a listing fans should walk away from.
