Which? comments ahead of Oasis tickets going on general sale on Saturday morning

Lisa Webb, Which? Consumer Law Expert, said: 

"Oasis fans will be desperate to be at the band's long-awaited reunion gigs - and competition for tickets is likely to be as fierce as a row between the Gallagher brothers themselves. To be in with the best chance of getting tickets, fans must make sure they're signed up on authorised ticket sellers' websites before tickets go on sale, that their account has been verified and their payment and delivery information is all up to date.  

"Unfortunately, ticket scams are really common and fans will need to keep an eye out for fraudsters trying to exploit the huge anticipated demand. The official sellers for the Oasis concerts will be Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours and See Tickets. Don't be tempted to buy tickets from anyone other than authorised sellers, as your rights can be significantly reduced if something goes wrong."If you buy through the official seller you'll be entitled to a refund if the show is cancelled but if you buy through a secondary ticket seller, you may not get your money back. We'd also recommend paying using your credit card if the tickets cost more than £100, or by PayPal, which also offers an extra layer of protection provided you choose 'paying for an item or service' rather than 'sending to a friend'."
