Oasis' first UK tour since 2006 sold out within an hour of going on sale this morning (August 20).
All 180,000 tickets for the 18-date tour were snapped up by fans over the phone and internet - with no reported network problems.
NME.COM also understands that several thousand fans queued for tickets outside London's Wembley Arena, Bournemouth and Sheffield.
A spokesperson for Oasis said: "The demand for tickets this morning was just immense. All the ticket sites slowed down severely but nothing crashed and the system worked very smoothly. We want to thank the fans for their patience and look forward to seeing you all at the shows."
Oasis' new album, 'Dig Out Your Soul', is released on October 6.

This is the one reason I love living in North America. As much as I'd love to be in a country where Oasis has such an immense following, I have front row seats to 7 out of 9 shows on the upcoming tour. I could never afford that over there. Well done OASIS!

Well done OASIS! yeah.. but it's not as fun from those gigs in the UK. actually if I lived in NYC I'd fly out to see the boys in Manchester for at least once.

180.000 for 18 gigs.. seems like the avarage gig has 10.000 tickets on sale.. but in the list are some huge arenas, like wembley... strange.. should've more tickets on sale.. that was only a pre-sale, or they really sold out
