Before Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, there was Oasis, the rock band that once billed themselves as greater than the Beatles.
The allegations can’t be substantiated, and a long-standing feud between band members Noel and Liam Gallagher led to the band’s dramatic breakup some 15 years ago, just before a concert. But the duo have put their feud aside to recreate their mid-1990s heyday in 2025. On the 27th, Oasis announced they were reuniting.

Andreas Glouger (41), a fan living in Munich, Germany, is determined to fly to the UK or Ireland to see the concert. Glouger, who now works for Siemens, wanted to see Oasis when he was a student, but couldn’t afford it. Now is his chance. “I don’t care about the cost anymore. It’s harder to get tickets to a band like this than it is to get into an Ivy League university (the eight prestigious private universities on the US East Coast),” he said enthusiastically.
Ticket prices for Oasis have yet to be announced, but given the recent surge in demand for mega-concerts, they could be in the thousands of dollars.
Taylor Swift’s “Ella’s ToursTickets for the show are selling for hundreds of dollars, with fans paying even more for resold tickets. The cheapest seats in Miami, Florida, where the band will next perform, are going for about $2,000.
Even as consumers struggle with high interest rates and rising prices, many are still spending on experiences, after missing out on concerts and sporting events during the coronavirus pandemic.
Financial services company Bread Financial and the American Automobile Association (AAA) conducted a joint venture in April.investigationAccording to the study, more than a third of young people identified as Gen Z and millennials spend at least $500 on tickets to live events.
