[GKJ]

I would love to know how they enforce this.

Had no idea Oasis was this popular.

As their career reached its zenith, Oasis performed to 80,000 people over two nights at Balloch Country Park at Loch Lomond in Scotland on 3 and 4 August, before back-to-back concerts at Knebworth House on 10 and 11 August. The band sold out both shows within minutes. The audience of 125,000 people each night (2.5 million people applied for tickets, and 250,000 were actually sold, meaning the possibility of 20 sold out nights) was a record-breaking number for an outdoor concert held in the UK and remains the largest demand for a show in British history.

This was in 1996.

I've never understood the appeal of wonderwall. one of the most depressing songs I've heard

I'm not a huge Oasis fan (they're not even in my top 100 bands): the song is incredibly melodic and catchy, and remember, the 90s had a lot darker/depressing topics for those of us who were around then. Today's popular music the majority is flash and autotune. It's made with the intention of it'll be off a Spotify playlist in one week and maybe played in gyms or some shuffle down the line. Not many try to do big albums anymore (King Gizzard is definitely an exception). Carbohydrate listening.

I remember someone on MTV said it was about a girl he was in love with and she ended up getting married to someone else (not according to Wiki but who knows). That's some real shit. You don't always win or get the one you want. It's a lesson many people have to learn in life.

Not to mention it just plain sucks….

So you don't like "Champaign Supernova", I'm guessing.

I don’t like any of their stuff.

Only in the U.K. and Ireland. They never managed to separate themselves from the pack here in the U.S, though they did have one Top 10 single (Wonderwall).

I would love to know how they enforce this.

Only way I could see would be box office pick up combined with digital tickets through the valid retailer apps.

Would also be interesting to see what would happen if someone decided to go after one of the resale platforms. The tickets they're selling wouldn't be valid, and it's been publicly announced they won't be valid, so by continuing to allow them to be listed they're participating in ticket fraud.

3 top 10 albums though.

They were still one of the bigger alternative bands of the day, but alternative rarely equated much to high charting singles unless you were Blink 182 or Green Day or even Matchbox 20 where they went out of their way to do it. They could run festivals and such though.

What they normally do is they shut off the transfer option so then there's no way you can send them to other people unless you give them your login information which you aren't going to give to random people. So your only option will really be to go or just sell them on those two websites that are allowed.

It's how most of the EPL teams operate too. I know people still get around it somehow but that I have no idea how.

A little surprised Toronto is the first listed considering the last time they played here Noel was pushed off the stage and the show was called off.

Maybe that’s why they want to start there I’m going to try to get tickets but they are going to be effing pricey

 

[the valiant effort]

Even Radiohead came back to Toronto

 

[Terry Yake]

got tickets to the LA show. not as expensive as i thought they'd be

now lets see if they even make it through the european leg without breaking up again

 

[McGarnagle]

I would like to go to the LA show, but I can't commit to buying a ticket 11 months out from a show. That's pretty excessive.

Got tix for Mexico City #vamos
