Oasis Celebrate Their Record-breaking Odyssey
By Liz Kennedy

Wednesday 27th July 2005

Even Liam Gallagher will be happy about this record. It was definitely the fastest sell-out at the Odyssey, with no maybe about it. Oasis smashed all previous Odyssey Arena records when all 10,000 tickets for their December 18 Belfast concert sold out in 15 minutes. This equates to an amazing 11 tickets per second and nearly 700 per minute.

Following the sell-out, promoter Wonderland Promotions announced a second Oasis date for the following day, December 19. This has also sold out. The Oasis dates follow the release of the band's charttopping single Lyla and the back-to-form album Don't Believe The Truth.

Commenting on the sell-out, Odyssey Arena Chief Executive, Nicky Dunn, said: "Oasis have been one of the most popular live acts for almost a decade.

"However, to sell 10,000 tickets in 15 minutes is an unbelievable achievement both by the band and by the staff of our box-office and Ticketmaster." Belfast singer-songwriter Andy White reviewed the first gig on the Oasis UK tour, when they played a smallscale show at London's Astoria. It augurs well for the pre-Christmas Odyssey Arena dates: "For when you look round and see people holding each other and telling each other they are going to Live Forever into each others' open ears; when Liam promises love will conquer all and then stands at the front of the stage daring anyone in the front 32 rows to try to look as good as he does armed only with a tambourine and some dodgy deck shorts; when Noel picks up his acoustic for the first time and plays the first line of Yesterday, then launches into a new song with the word Yesterday in the first few lines - that is when you start to enter the world of Oasis." If you're one of the lucky ticket-holders, keep your fingers crossed for a Christmas Champagne Supernova and if you missed out on the Mancunian superstars, Don't Look Back in Anger, I hear you say!

Prior to the Oasis concert the Odyssey Arena record sell-out was 25 minutes for Shania Twain in February 2004.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

mimmihopps: colincarrot, the thread is still active, but you do need to log in to access to the thread as it's in Sound & Vision board. Hope it helps. Sept 24, 2024 4:26:30 GMT -5 *

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5
