'My mum and my stepdad are up in Montrose, and they forced me to come down and get all of their stuff, all of theirs,' the fan said.
'So yeah, waiting for an hour, it's very windy, there's an amber weather warning out. But that doesn't stop Oasis fans clearly,' they added.
Another fan, who spent £350, said: 'It's a lot but it's Oasis, it's kind of one-time only. We're going to get one of the T-shirts framed, so we can put it up in our living room.' STV News Fans can walk in, but the store advises pre-booking a slot on the official website. STV News
It comes ahead of the band's three sold-out shows at Murrayfield, which kick off on Friday.
The third Edinburgh show is on Tuesday, August 12, and will be their final concert in the UK before they head to Ireland and then cross the Atlantic for a string of shows in Canada, the US and Mexico.
The store stocks official Oasis Live '25 merchandise including exclusive vinyl and adidas Originals x Oasis collaborations.
The store will be open from August 4 until August 17, with opening hours confirmed as Monday to Saturday 10am-6pm and Sundays 11am-5pm.

Similar curbs were brought in for the Stop Crying Your Heart Out rockers' comeback performances in Manchester and Cardiff last month. Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are set to take to the stage at the home of Scottish rugby on Friday, Saturday and next Tuesday. And a source said: 'Banning drones above the gigs is the right move. "All it takes is something to go wrong or someone who doesn't know how to properly fly a drone to make a mistake. "If one falls into the crowd people could end up badly hurt.' A Civil Aviation Authority spokesman said the ban was 'in the public interest'. Up to 210,000 fans overall are expected to flock to the sold-out mega-gigs. They face strict rules with metal water bottles, hip flasks, large bags and umbrellas among banned items. And any louts found with knives, drugs and pyros will be reported to cops. Hundreds of Oasis fans queue down Scots street to bag gig merch as buzz begins ahead of Edinburgh shows A Scottish Rugby spokesman said security was 'of the upmost importance' at the gigs. The concerts coincide with the capital's world-famous Fringe arts bash of more than 3,800 shows. Police said a 'proportionate and considered plan' is in place' to keep visitors safe. A force spokesman added: 'We are working to ensure the safety of those attending events and minimise disruption.'

Oasis fans should know Murrayfield seating plan to get to seats quickest
It's just a matter of days until Oasis take their reunion tour to Edinburgh. The Gallagher brothers are about to take to the stage at Murrayfield Stadium for the first time since 2009. The Oasis reunion tour makes its way up to Scotland from Wembley at the end of the week. The famous formerly-feuding brothers are performing three gigs in Edinburgh on August 8, 9, and 12. But as around 200,000 fans descend on Murrayfield across the three nights, it's vital to be prepared and organised, or you may risk getting caught in the crowds. We've already rounded up some of the travel options for getting to the stadium, as well as some surprising items you won't be allowed to take into the gigs. But another thing to consider is getting to your seat without any unnecessary stress- there are over 67,000 seats at Murrayfield, so it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the seating plan ahead of time to make sure you enter via the correct gate and find your seat with ease. Here's how to find your seat as quickly and hassle-free as possible. Murrayfield seating plan for the Oasis gigs Ticketmaster have revealed the seating plan for the upcoming Oasis gigs. If you can't see it here, it can also be viewed on the Ticketmaster website. Your ticket will tell you which area to enter the stadium from, and stewards will also be available to direct gig goers to the correct entrance. The seating plan is split into five colour-coded areas: the East Stand, West Stand, North Stand, South Stand, and the Accessible Section. Your ticket will also tell you which stand your seats are in. The numbered section and seat number within your stand will also be shown on your ticket, and more stewards will help you to find your seat once you are inside the venue. The lucky ducks with standing tickets will also be directed to the appropriate entrance by staff at the stadium, and the gates will be clearly labelled to avoid confusion. If you're curious about the view from your seats, you can see the ratings and views for Murrayfield on the View From My Seat website here. Another thing to familiarise yourself with ahead of the gigs is the list of banned items, to make sure you get past security with no problems at the gates. While some of the contraband items on the list are obvious, such as alcohol and weapons, some of the everyday things on this list may surprise you, so make sure not to bring any to the gig. Full list of prohibited items from the Murrayfield Oasis gigs Bags larger than A4 (30cm x 21cm) Knives or weapons Food or drink Flasks and hard water bottles Fireworks, flares and smoke bombs Banners or flags which contain offensive or abusive slogans Any flag bigger than 12inches x 16inches (30cm x 41cm), with a pole longer that 1m in length or thicker than 1inch (2.5cm) Musical instruments Umbrellas of any size Laser pointers and torches Animals Large cameras Audio recording equipment Tripods and selfie sticks Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
