Gen Z Oasis fans are revealing their tricks to get an upper hand in securing tickets for the band’s reunion – which has seen people on social media claim they are ready to go to ‘war’ to snag on Saturday.
Tech-savvy younger generations have warned their elders on how not to get caught up by a common mistake while trying to secure their place in at the Britpop duo’s comeback next year.
Taking to TikTok, @kattycarruthers revealed her advice for getting ahead of the race on August 31 at 9am, and shared a hack for millennials, who have admitted they are scared to make big ticket purchases on their phones, and demand the security of a bigger screen and their desktop.
She explained that when it comes to Ticketmaster – one of the places you can get Oasis tickets at, as well as Gigs and Tours, and See Tickets – you can have both the website and mobile app open, but make sure they’re signed into different accounts.
‘If you’re on the same account it’s just gonna give you the same exact place in the queue so there’s not really much point,’ she revealed.

The social media creator, who has 1, 137 followers – also warned about common mistakes which could risk your place in the line, especially if you’re on a desktop.
‘If you’re using Ticketmaster, make sure you’ve only got one tab open – as it will otherwise ‘think you’re a bot’ and may kick you out of the queue,’ she shared.
‘Also don’t refresh the page when you’re in the queue.’
Another tip was making sure you have an account set up on all the relevant sites – and that your card details are already registered on the account ‘so that when you get to checkout you can log out super quickly’.
It comes as millennials have shared that they are hesitant to spend large sums of money on their phone, and prefer using a laptop.
‘Apparently, Gen Z is making fun of older generations for never buying big ticket purchases on their phone and always using a desktop,’ Jessie Frazelle wrote on X.
‘I’ve never felt more attacked in my life by something I didn’t realize I was subconsciously doing.’
It racked up more than 4.9 million views, with fellow millennials slamming their younger counterparts for not having multiple tabs open to ‘carefully cross-compare offers’.

‘I’ll attempt a big ticket purchase on mobile, but I’m immediately moving to desktop if the website/app is so terrible that I lack confidence in things working properly,’ another added.
‘Wait until they find out that I put 80 hours of research into buying a $450 thing,’ a third quipped.
Elsewhere earlier this year, influencers Keeshia Pettit and Laura Byrne, who are both millennials, shared their own approaches on their podcast Life Uncut.
‘I would literally book my own funeral on my phone,’ Laura shared in a clip posted to their TikTok – which Keeshia was horrified at.

The phone versus desktop debate rages as Oasis fans are vowing to go to ‘war’ over tickets for their reunion tour
‘I’m thinking of getting a desktop because some things to me feel too casual even for a laptop… I think I need a stable environment to book risky things,’ she said.
‘I don’t think I’d make a purchase of over $300 on a phone. It just seems too airy fairy and casual for me.’
‘I’ll do everything on my phone,’ a commenter said. ‘The laptop gives me anxiety… there are so many ads (I did my taxes on my phone).’
‘Apps make it so easy to shop,’ another added. ‘But I hate shopping on Safari on my phone. I just don’t shop at stores that don’t make it easy for me to shop on my phone.’
A third shared: ‘I don’t own a laptop, everything is phone.’

Ticket prices for the gigs have now been revealed with the cheapest costing £73. Gigs And Tours has shared the prices to see them play in London, Manchester’s Heaton Park, Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield.
X users have today been reacting to the prices with one tongue-in-cheek response suggesting Noel and Liam are ‘in need of a good pension fund’

Fans lucky enough to bag a ticket for the iconic Britpop band’s Wembley shows will end up having to pay more with standing tickets costing £151.25.
The same tickets in Cardiff and Edinburgh are priced slightly cheaper at £150 and £151 respectively.
The band announced earlier this week that they would be reuniting for the first time since breaking up in 2009. They will go on a 17-gig run in the UK and Ireland before embarking on a world tour with plans underway ‘to go to other continents outside of Europe’.
Seated tickets at Wembley start at £74.25 with the most expensive an eye-popping £206.25. But those really want to splash the cash can fork out £506.25 for a pre-show party, exhibition and seated ticket package.
In the band’s home city of Manchester, tickets start from £148.50, with only standing available alongside a number of hospitality and luxury offerings.
The cheapest seats in Scotland will be priced at £74 while in Cardiff they will cost £73. It comes after the cheapest seated tickets for the band’s gigs at Dublin’s Croke Park were revealed to start at 86.50 euros (£72.75).
X users have today been reacting to the prices with one tongue-in-cheek response suggesting Noel and Liam are ‘in need of a good pension fund’.
Another told the Gallaghers to televise the concerts as he would be ‘happy to pay £20 for the privilege’.
By comparison, Taylor Swift had three standing areas for her Wembley gigs this month.
General admission standing tickets were priced at £110.45, while they cost £172.25 for those that wanted the front standing area.
Seated tickets ranged from £58 to £194.75.
Earlier in the day, more shows for the world tour were announced.
Noel Gallagher posted on X, formerly Twitter, that ‘due to unprecedented demand’, shows in Heaton Park, on July 16, Wembley on July 30 and Murrayfield Stadium on August 12 had been added.
Gig passes have not yet gone on sale, but the Manchester rockers invited fans to apply for a pre-sale ballot, which has now closed, before Saturday’s general release.
The band also reassured applicants that the confirmation emails for pre-sale ballot entries were still being sent on Thursday.
Oasis wrote on X: ‘The deadline to confirm your entry has now been extended to 10am BST tomorrow morning (Friday 30th August).
‘If successful in the ballot, you will be contacted tomorrow by 5pm BST with pre-sale access information. Thank you for your patience.’
Lucky fans will be notified by email that they have secured the opportunity to get pre-sale tickets.
Oasis have today announced three new UK dates to their reunion tour after an ‘unprecedented’ demand for tickets
The extra dates have been added to Oasis’ official website this morning which means they will now play five shows at Wembley
Noel and his brother Liam put their acrimonious split behind them, confirming the band’s long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying: ‘The great wait is over.’
The UK and Ireland shows, which are the only European dates, were announced as follows: Principality Stadium July 4 and 5; Heaton Park July 11, 12, 19 and 20; Wembley Stadium July 25 and 26 and August 2 and 3; Murrayfield Stadium August 8 and 9; and Croke Park August 16 and 17.
It has not been announced who will be performing with Liam and Noel as part of Oasis.
Fans have been urging the brothers to regroup since they disbanded, a split prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Noel, 57, quit the Manchester rock group on August 28 2009, saying he ‘simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer’, and the brothers have made negative comments about each other for more than a decade.
Though fans have been positive about a reunion, concerns have been raised about high ticket prices and accommodation, and the prospect of Liam and Noel having another falling out.
