This is absolutely incredible. I thought they might do some legacy type venues, of a much smaller size, like a couple of nights at Madison Sq Garden, but fair play - quick sell out at huge stadiums is impressive. Noel Gallagher used to have an ambition of a #1 LP in the US - wonder if this traction makes a studio album more likely, if there's a shot at that?

We better get a live album out of this extravaganza. Live album is the least they should do. We better get a live PPV of the first Cardiff show! |

I need that moment captured in all its glory and frankly it'll be a global event that everyone who cares about the band deserves to be a part of |

Lots of tickets available for Mexico. But the ticket prices are crazy.

Crazy. Who are these people that didn't care to see Noel and Liam up close when they were playing small venues/casinos in the US but are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to see Oasis from far away in a large stadium? Power of the band over the individual and general hype I suppose.

Question: How many folks got standing GA tickets? I felt it odd that of all the categories of tixs that should've been available, NJ & CHI never seemed to give me that option. I also didn't see any VIP offerings either. I rationalized this morning I'd pay for a "inner pit' standing GA, but short of that explicitly, I'd no go if ticketbastard tried to oversell me. - Re. thread: For what we all paid for tixs, the Cuban bongo drummer should tour just for Part of the Queue.
- Re. thread: I too was a Oaisinet'er & think I too had to create a second account for this forum after losing the first to an expired hotmail acct.
- I only ever got to my first show due to "typing" class as a 13yo in 1997. The sooner you finished your lesson, you could SURF THE WEB dude. I found Oasisinet, saw the Chicago show, bilked my Dad for my first ever concert, and Rosemont '98 was legendary.
All of the field in Chicago is standing GA (ETA: and that's what I got). |

Chicago 98 was my first Oasis (and general) concert ever also! |

I have to assume a lot of the tickets sold to the U.S. shows are to non Americans considering Oasis haven’t had much traction in the U.S. for literally over a quarter century and now they’re selling out stadiums? Doesn’t make sense to me, but I’m also on a lot of medication right now so nothing really makes sense. God bless. I feel like it's a mix. On the DOYS tour they played 10 total shows in America (my quick math says that was about 150k people combined). This time around they're playing 5 (that still grades out to 420k or so). I feel like judging by how many people they played to the last time around, the eventized component and the fans they've picked up since their breakup, there was probably enough to at least half sell these shows. Maybe even sell out 2/3rds. But international fans are certainly a decent bloc of the tickets being sold. |

Amazing to think Noel opening was for Garbage last summer - and the tour sold so poorly that they were moving hundreds people up from the seats into GA before showtime & practically giving them away on the LiveNation site in the weeks leading up. It just shows you what the Oasis name can do in terms of driving sales What I want to know is how the inner details of their market research were like. They knew the demand was there to sell out stadiums in the US. What demand are they aware of that we aren’t privy to. I’m curious how they accurately researched the demand. |

Power of the band over the individual and general hype I suppose. I think you're also seeing alot of people who just weren't able to see them before and now are in a position to make it happen. I'm 42. In the 90s, I was in high school and they never came anywhere near me. In the early 00's I was a broke college kid. In the late 00s, I was still broke and they came around less and less. I had tickets to see them in 2005 in Houston, but I'm from New Orleans, and Hurricane Katrina came a month before and blew all my plans out of the water. Then for the 08 tour, I was on tour myself with a band and was always a couple of days behind them on their tour. It just never did workout. Now, I'm older, I have steady income, and I'm really fortunate that I can afford to travel to shows. If I hadn't gotten lucky to get Wembley tickets, I'd be trying for US tickets like a lot of us over here as well. |

I genuinely think we're all going to be pleasantly surprised by the people who show up at these shows in the US who actually know the songs. |

C'mon on guys...you know you want to squeeze in that Boston date at Gillette Stadium. Noel could use another £1 million added to the haul.

The prospect of having people around the world traveling for these shows is pretty exciting. Them, combined with us hardcore fans from the states, hopefully means these shows will have a great atmosphere and vibe!

I'm going to be honest, based on the gig I went to, he deserved that turnout. I was very underwhelmed. Garbage put on a show that was like 5x better than his. |

But they pulled it off. I’m just curious as to how they did their market research so well for this - we don’t even know the bloody band members! lol |

As stoked as I am that they're back together, I was telling my wife the other day that I'm going to miss the way it was the past 15 years. We've been able to watch Noel and Liam perform separately in small venues with absolutely no fuss getting tickets. I think I paid like $50 (tops) to get in the standing pit at the Wiltern to be like 15 feet from the band. But all in all, still stoked to have them back together! |

I was looking at the Rose Bowl, and because of where the stage is situated, they've blocked off a full 10/28 seated sections. Of course then you have to add in the field standing tickets - do those make up for all the blocked off sections? |

You can check the wikipedia to see how many tickets were sold for almost all of the shows there: |
