If anyone went to see Oasis' opening night at the Principality Stadium then a huge number of them will come away buzzing. Not just their ears, but the Live '25 reunion tour left many of those who went with a sense of fan fulfillment they waited 16 years, or even their whole life, for.
Liam Gallagher promised they'd blow the roof off the Cardiff venue and his promise more or less came true during a stand out moment. Their new live rendition of Rock n Roll Star was an absolute beast of a live track and you could feel the whole stadium pumping. The middle tier was bouncing and the entire venue felt like it was about to take off.
Yes, The Masterplan and Live Forever were magical to say the least, Don't Look Back in Anger - a true seminal rock moment of British history, but Liam cracking out his Rock 'N' Roll Star lyrics with the kraaangy guitars bounced off every steel surface it could find, Liam's vocal, breathless and it was just a pounding, baying live version of a song that made you feel dehydrated and dizzy joining in.

Still looking for tickets for Oasis
Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot.
Viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.

Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly. Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.

Desperate Oasis fans in Scotland see re-sale ticket prices soar to £6000 a pair
The sold-out Edinburgh Murrayfield show has seen outrageous fees being charged to purchase gold dust tickets on secondary websites. Desperate Scottish fans who missed out on Oasis tickets last year are now being offered a pair – for £6000. The outrageous fees are being charged by secondary websites for next month's gigs at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. The Gallagher Brothers got together for the first time since 2009 for the opening night of a 41-gig reunion tour in Cardiff on Friday night. There was fury last September when music fans discovered ticket prices increasing while they were hanging on the phone to buy gold dust briefs. But while millions missed out on the sale, those seeking to profit from the pent-up demand were scooping up tickets by the score. The website Viagogo has this week been offering seats at the August 8 concert in Edinburgh for £3132 a time. The company admit the face value of the ticket is £462, a mark-up of almost 600 per cent. The allocated area is Section East 11, Row D in the Zone East Lower Tier at Murrayfield. Rival firm Vivid Seats is touting a ticket for £2336 for the final Edinburgh concert on Tuesday, August 12. It's for Section W19, Row J. The rip-off prices were condemned by the consumer group, Which? now spearheading a national campaign against the practice. Lisa Webb, Which? Consumer Law Expert, said: 'Tickets to the Oasis reunion tour in Edinburgh sold out months ago so fans desperate to attend face a lose-lose choice between risking the scammers on social media, paying hundreds more for tickets on secondary sites or missing out on the gigs. 'The government has promised to introduce stronger consumer protections for ticket purchases. Which? believes ministers must use this opportunity to put a stop to the touts and introduce a price cap to ensure that tickets can only be re-sold on secondary sites at the original price paid – the ticket's face value plus any fees. 'In the meantime, we'd recommend fans only buy tickets through official resale sites - as this eliminates the risk of being scammed and gives them more protections if anything goes wrong.' The Chartered Trading Standards Institute advised fans who missed out last year to contact their local trading standards department with complaints. Those hoping to buy were expecting tickets costing £150 but were shocked to discover prices soaring to £400. The Institute said fans should have been provided with "all relevant information" before the sale took place. Last year, Sylvia Rook, Lead Officer for Fair Trading at the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI), said: 'We are aware of the fact that many consumers have complained that the tickets they were offered, after having queued for several hours online, ended up costing substantially more than the originally advertised prices that were released at the end of last week. 'Whilst dynamic pricing is an accepted practice for holidays, flights and taxis, the difference here is that consumers are informed of the price before they decide to make a purchase. In this case, the public were given a price for tickets, and were not informed until they finally got to the front of the queue, that the price had increased.' The Competition and Markets Authority has also told Ticketmaster that it is "preparing to litigate" over potential breaches of consumer law. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Having used regulatory powers 'to obtain evidence from Ticketmaster and others', the CMA found that Ticketmaster sold 'platinum' tickets 'for near 2.5 times the price of equivalent standard tickets' even though they 'did not offer additional benefits and were often located in the same area of the stadium'. In addition, consumers were not told in advance that there were two categories of standing tickets at different prices, and that after the cheaper standing tickets sold out 'more expensive standing tickets were released'. As a result of this, the CMA claim many fans waited 'in a lengthy queue without understanding what they would be paying', a situation compounded by the fact that they then had to 'decide whether to pay a higher price than expected'. Promoters DF Concerts were approached to comment on the £6000 briefs, but failed to respond.

At least he didn't look back in anger! Liam Gallagher fled stadium after Oasis' Cardiff tour opener while Noel was still on stage - and they're staying in separate hotels 20 miles apart
When Noel and Liam Gallagher walked on stage hand-in-hand in front of 75,000 fans on Friday night, there was a collective roar of joy – their bitter 16-year feud was finally over. Or was it? For despite the brothers' arms held united in apparent triumph, the reality behind the scenes was rather different. The Mail on Sunday can reveal there was a distinctly 'frosty' atmosphere backstage between the warring brothers, who sensationally fell out in 2009. When the two-hour set at Cardiff's Principality Stadium ended, Liam, 52, wasted no time in racing off stage and straight into a black four-by-four vehicle. Left behind was Noel, 58, still waving to fans before slowly walking off with the rest of the band. And it is understood the brothers shunned each other after the show as they were staying in separate places, with guitarist and songwriter Noel at the four-star Parkgate Hotel, which backs on to the stadium. The father-of-three was staying there with daughter Anais, 25, who supported him at the concert from the VIP section with her 26-year-old actor boyfriend, Callum Howells. Liam, meanwhile, was staying 20 miles away, close to the Celtic Manor Resort, where previous guests have included then US President Barack Obama. Friends fear relations between the brothers may deteriorate to breaking point, resulting in them ending the tour halfway through their worldwide 41-gig trip. A source close to Oasis told The MoS: 'They can't stand each other because they still have not forgiven each other. It's all very frosty and awkward. We all doubt they'll make it to Australia at this rate.' Oasis play five nights in Melbourne and Sydney from the end of October, with five more gigs in South America scheduled. Live '25 is expected to earn them £600million, with ticket prices ranging from £200 to £2,000. Earlier in the evening, Noel was spotted at the back of the stadium quietly supporting the Verve frontman, Richard Ashcroft, who opened for Oasis, while Liam was nowhere to be seen. Later, just moments before going on stage, the Gallaghers were seen standing with their backs to one another just metres apart, ignoring each other. But when they went on stage, the brothers gave the crowd what they wanted by holding hands momentarily before kicking off their 23-song Oasis marathon to a wall of cheering. It is understood the brothers shunned each other after the show as they were staying in separate places, with guitarist and songwriter Noel at the four-star Parkgate Hotel (above) They further delighted fans at the end of the gig when Liam strolled over to his older brother and embraced him in a brief handshake and shoulder bump. But the singers did not always appear in unity, often occupying different sides of the stage. When Noel played his solo songs such as Don't Look Back in Anger and Masterplan, Liam left the stage and walked past his brother without looking at him. He returned only when he was needed on vocals, and Noel would often turn his back to the audience and slink into the background. But the lingering animosity appeared to go unnoticed by the joyful fans who hailed the comeback 'biblical'. Oasis were back on stage in Cardiff last night before returning to home turf in Manchester on Friday. In August the brothers announced they would be reuniting as 'the guns have fallen silent' – an indication their often vicious quarrel was over. Liam (above) returned only when he was needed on vocals, and Noel would often turn his back to the audience and slink into the background They famously fell out after a backstage row in Paris in 2009, with Noel insisting he would never work with Liam again and describing him as 'a fork in a world of soup'. Their relationship appears to have remained fractious in the run-up to the worldwide reunion tour, with the pair turning up to rehearsals at different times. While Noel was practising with the band in May, his younger brother had flown to his £3million mansion in France. Last month, the pair had delighted fans by appearing in an Adidas shoot together but they reportedly spent only 14 minutes in the same building for the advert campaign. Liam arrived an hour earlier than Noel, insiders said, and computer software was said to have been used to mesh the two together for the photograph.
