Fans slammed Oasis last week as they complained about the high cost of tickets for his upcoming shows.
Hoards of fans lost out with sites booting them to the back of the queue after being mistaken for bots, toutes nabbing up tickets to resell them for thousands, as well as some sites doubling ticket prices form around £148 to £355
And Liam, who has never been one to shy away from controversy, broke his social media silence amid the row, but faced further flak for his outbursts, with some accusing him of ‘scream[ing] from his ivory tower at the paupers.’
He posted on X, formerly Twitter, this morning: ‘OASIS are back your welcome and I hear there ATTITUDE STINKS good to know something’s never change.’
When fans responded by criticising the ticketing approach, he replied: ‘SHUTUP [sic]’
And when asked how he was feeling, the 51-year-old responded: ‘SMUG only kidding SMUG AS F*** I told you all we were gonna get back together 1 fine day [sic]’
He was also asked how his mother Peggy felt about him and older brother Noel reuniting 15 years after the band split and following years of public feuding.
Liam commented, ‘She’s gutted she couldn’t get a ticket’, and joked about there now being ‘kneeling tickets only’.

His ‘SHUTUP’ response came to a fan who had told him: ‘Didn’t expect them to rip the fans off as much as they have done. It’s genuinely a shame.’
When asked whether he had any spare tickets, Liam hit back: ‘S*** loads but there really expensive 100 thousand pounds Kneeling only.’
Reacting to Liam’s social media tirade, one disgruntled fan wrote: ’30 years of being a fan for comments like that?
‘After last week the dynamic pricing tickets my love for Oasis is deteriorating and a lot of fans feel the same.
‘Hope you enjoy playing to a bunch of “influencers” clearly you’ve forgotten where you come from!’
A second wrote: ‘Screamed from your ivory tower down to the paupers who made you rich and who tried for hours to get tickets they couldn’t really afford, to be presented with other tickets they couldn’t afford at all.’
‘I agree 100 per cent,’ another said: ‘I was so happy when I heard you were getting back together but the ticket situation is awful. It’s pricing working class fans out of the market.’ one penned.
‘Only rich can afford to see you know. I thought you represented ordinary, working class folk…’

There looked to be no one else walking a similar path
Speaking about next year’s shows, he said the first chord would be ‘BIBLICAL’.
‘The fact that you respond like this when thousands of fans, who have paid for the life you lead, have monumentally ripped off sums up what a sell out you’ve become,’ wrote one.
Meanwhile Liam has admitted he thrives on attention as he hit Twitter again over the weekend to claim he is ‘seriously gutted’ for fans who didn’t get Oasis tickets.
He also said he gets ‘a massive kick’ out of critics who hate that the band are back together.
In a series of boisterous posts on Twitter, now X, he sympathized with unlucky music-lovers who had failed to secure passes, and jokingly opened up about his relationship with warring-brother Noel and their mother, Peggy.
Speaking about next year’s shows, he said the first chord would be ‘BIBLICAL’.
But he revelled in the hate he has received following the announcement of the group’s reunion after 15 years estranged – and says he wants to ‘go out with a bang’.
Replying to dozens of fans in a social media spree, he said he would ‘see how much trouble I can get myself into’ as he answered their questions with characteristic subtlety.
To one, Niamh Bell, who asked ‘how much do you love the attention RKid’, he said: ‘I’ll be honest with you I absolutely f*****g THRIVE on it.’
Oasis blamed their management for the dynamic pricing fiasco despite Liam Gallagher’s fiancée being his agent.
The band said they were ‘not aware’ the system would be used and that the decision was instead made during meetings between Ticketmaster, promoters and their management.

Oasis said of Saturday’s chaotic ticket sale: ‘As for the well reported complaints many buyers had over the operation of dynamic ticketing: it needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used’
This is despite the fact that Debbie Gwyther, 40, the girlfriend of frontman Liam, manages him.
The pair met in 2013 when she worked as his personal assistant but she now helps manage his career through the PR company she runs with her sister Katie.
Debbie has been credited with orchestrating the Oasis reunion tour and Liam also previously admitted that she ‘saved him’.

‘While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations.
‘All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience, but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve.’
