Lidl Oasis themed parkas resold for six times the price after ‘unprecedented demand'
Parkas resold up to six times the asking price
A Lidl-themed Oasis-inspired parka sold out in minutes ahead of Noel and Liam Gallagher's reunion shows at Croke Park on August 16 and 17.
The launch of the parkas, much like the ticket sales, caused major chaos on the Lidl by Lidl site this morning at 10am, with users reporting their credit card details were getting declined and jackets appearing on Ebay for nearly six times the sales price.
A spokesperson for Lidl Ireland & Northern Ireland said: 'We have seen unprecedented demand for our limited-edition Lidl by Lidl jacket, with fans from across the island of Ireland waiting in line to access the website when sales opened.
'We understand this is disappointing for many Oasis and Lidl fans, however we encourage customers to stay tuned to our social channels for future limited-edition merchandise ranges,' they added.
The parkas, which were sold at €35 a pop, feature two built-in drink cooling pockets along with the zipper doubling as a bottle opener.
They were sold as a set with an accompanying tambourine, with all proceeds to be donated to Family Carers Ireland and Age NI from sales in Northern Ireland.
The discount retailer added: 'We understand some users reported payment issues with the website however we can confirm this was due to the item being fully sold out at the time of purchase and not an issue with the site.'
After the parkas sold out, they quickly appeared on Ebay.com, with some listed at roughly six times the original price. Prices ranged from £120 to £209.
The tickets to the band's Croke Park gigs, which went on sale late August, were originally priced at €86.50.
However, users on X, reported the price for standing tickets more than doubling from around €176 on pre-sale to over €400 on Ticketmaster.
Many users waited hours to secure their place in the queue for tickets.
However, the brothers later decided in October that for concerts in the US, Canada and Mexico, dynamic pricing would not apply.
The pair began their tour at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on 5 July. Before hitting the stage at Croke Park, they are set to play Heaton Park in Manchester and Wembley Stadium in London, both for five nights, and Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh for three nights.

Scottish gangster linked to Lyons clan hangs out backstage at Oasis gig
Robert Kelbie is a friend of Daniel Kinahan and worked with MTK Global The Scottish criminal posed for photos with Noel Gallagher as well as guitarist, Gem Archer and former Doctor Who actor Matt Smith at a backstage party for the band. Kelbie (41) a convicted fraudster, was snapped wearing an exclusive VIP badge while grinning broadly with the A-listers on his Instagram account. The former convict even uploaded a video of himself at the gig, with the soundtrack of Oasis' hit 'Stay Young' that he captioned '#oasismania what a great night. They're definitely a must see.' Kelbie, of Ratho, Edinburgh has links to Irish crime boss and former promoter through Kinahan's now-defunct MTK management stable. At the height of Kinahan's 'sports washing' PR campaign, he urged major names in the sport to help promote his image which included the heavyweight champ who gave his friend and mentor a social media shout-out. Kelbie, who previously admitted mortgage fraud in 2012, is well-known to Scottish police and has survived three assassination attempts. Matt Smith and Robert Kelbie In July 2023, Tyson Fury was sotted out and about with Kelbie on a whistlestop trip to Edinburgh where they popped into a plush cocktail bar while the fighter posed for pictures with tour bus staff. Fury and hardman Kelbie were even treated to specially-made Gypsy King cocktails featuring the boxer's logo and their faces on the fancy drinks at VIP favourite Tigerlily. Convicted fraudster, Kelbie, who has links to the Lyons crime clan, became pals with Tyson, who has no links to criminality, after allegedly landing a job working with him three years ago. Read more He claimed to have served as director of talent for MTK Global, the boxing promotions firm linked to mobster Kinahan, which advised Fury, former middleweight and super-middleweight champion Billie Joe Saunders (32), and Scottish light-welterweight world title holder Josh Taylor (31). Fury, Saunders and Taylor have no links to crime. MTK Global was put out of business ahead of the Gypsy King's Wembley triumph when he beat Dillian Whyte in April 2022 after US cops put a $5 million bounty on founder Kinahan's head. Kelbie reportedly helped set up a Spanish gym for a boxing firm linked to wanted mob boss Kinahan. Fury and Kelbie (far right) The previous year Kelbie was with Fury when he kicked out at a taxi in an incident caught on camera while they were on holiday in the south of France. Kelbie was seen leaning through the passenger's side window while Fury tried to open the door before it takes off without them. Kelbie later uploaded pictures to his Instagram in the resort town that included footage of the boxer and his dad with pints of Stella at a roadside bar. Kelbie, who has reinvented himself as a boxing promoter, is a sworn enemy of jailed cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson (38) whose associates include members of Glasgow's Daniel Clan, MailOnline reports. Gangsters working for Richardson are believed to have ripped off Dubai-based Ross 'Miami' McGill with £500,000 of fake cash for a cocaine shipment. The Daniel Clan's deadly rivals, Lyons gang have reportedly been giving McGill, a former Rangers football ultras 'capo', information on the Edinburgh-based gangsters as he conducted his campaign of revenge. He is alleged to have ordered knife attacks, shootings and firebombing that sparked a tit-for-tat gangland clash. Back in 2010, Kelbie was shot in the back outside a Bannatyne's Health Club in Edinburgh. In 2013, a hail of bullets were fired at the hood's home at Ratho Station, Edinburgh which he fled 2016. Kelbie has since reinvented himself as a boxing promoter and has previously been pictured in selfies with legendary former Manchester United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, 82, retired England ace Wayne Rooney. Kelbie's latest snap comes just days after the funerals of two Scottish gangsters who were gunned down in the Costa del Sol. Top 'Lyons' gang figures Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, were shot dead having watched the Champions League final at Monaghans bar in Fuengirola, Spain, on May 31.

Don't Look Back In Anger named UK's most played Oasis song of the 21st century
Oasis hit Don't Look Back In Anger takes the crown as the band's most-played song on UK radio and TV in the 21st century, according to the music licensing company, Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL). Following the band's highly anticipated reunion tour, which began last week in Cardiff and comes to Croke Park for two nights in August, the licensing company compiled a list of the top 10 most played songs by the band from the past 25 years. PPL, which licenses the use of recorded music on radio, TV and in public places, used airplay data from radio and TV stations across the UK to put the list together. It revealed that Wonderwall was the second most-played recording on UK radio and TV, followed by She's Electric at number three, Roll With It at number four and Little By Little taking fifth place. The Importance Of Being Idle, Whatever, Some Might Say and Live Forever followed. The top 10 list ends with Champagne Supernova, the closing track to their second studio album (What's The Story) Morning Glory?. Released in 1995, the album became the fifth bestselling album in the UK, according to the Official Charts Company, and contributed six tracks to the top 10 list. The data also found that Oasis have built up more than seven years of cumulative airplay on UK radio and TV stations since 2000, with their songs being played on average, 120 times per day across the country. Peter Leathem, chief executive of PPL, said: "Oasis are one of the most iconic, era-defining bands we have ever seen. "They dominated the 1990s and 2000s, and for many, they personified those decades, but their timeless songs continue to resonate with audiences even long after their release." This comes after the band performed together at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday for the first time in almost 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009, which was prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France. Mr Leathem added: "With their reunion tour underway, this chart provides the perfect opportunity to look back in admiration at the enduring impact of their music throughout this century, and to celebrate one of the greatest British bands of all time." The band's world tour, Oasis Live '25, will also see the band perform at Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September before heading to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America.
