Airbnb costs near the band's tour stops have soared, with Manchester and Edinburgh seeing the worst price hikes, according to ticket comparison site SeatPick. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 It's not just Airbnb prices soaring - The Sun can reveal that hotels are ramping up their rates during the tour as well For the Manchester shows on July 19 and 20, Airbnb rates are an eye-watering 370.7% higher than normal. A one-night stay during the gigs averages £467.28, compared to just £99.28 the following week. On July 19, the cost jumps even further to £558.52 - a staggering 401.7% increase. Edinburgh isn't far behind. Fans attending gigs on August 8, 9 and 12 will pay an average of £685.77 for a night, up 29.7% from the usual £528.67. The priciest date overall is August 8, with rates hitting £724.92 for a single night. SeatPick analysed Airbnb listings for two guests looking for an 'entire home' in the city centre, comparing prices on the tour date to those from the week before and after. London fares much better, with minimal price hikes. For shows on July 25, 26 and 30, and August 2 and 3, Airbnb rates rise just 2.8% on average. In fact, there's even a slight drop in costs for the July 30 gig, with stays averaging £159.57 compared to £163.72 the week before.

Manchester's Prestwich Premier Inn near Heaton Park is charging £349 for a night during the July 19 show but drops to £154 the following week. In Edinburgh, a night at the City Centre Premier Inn costs £349 for the August 8 gig, compared to £309 the week after. Meanwhile, London's Wembley Premier Inn charges £381 for the night of the July 25 show but plummets to just £78 the following week. The Gallagher brothers made a triumphant return at the Principality stadium in Cardiff on July 4 after 15 years of feuding. Fans were delighted by the comeback - but not so much by how much they had to pay for a drink. Shocking pictures from inside the Cardiff stadium earlier this month revealed pint prices had climbed to a huge £8.20. Pints of Heineken, Strongbow, Dark Fruits and Murphy's were all priced at this level, while half-pints were £4.10. Even the no-alcohol Heineken 0.0 was £5.20 for a pint.

The average fan is expected to spend £766 on tickets, travel, accommodation, and merchandise, according to Barclays. The tour, tipped to be the most profitable in UK history, will see 1.4million gig-goers attend shows nationwide, boosting local business sales. Fans have embraced 90s nostalgia, turning up in bucket hats, parkas, and Oasis-themed outfits. But merchandise prices have sparked anger online, with fans calling them a "cash cow". Items like a £10 keyring, £85 Adidas football shirt, and £70 hoodie were among the priciest at the Cardiff venue. When tickets went on sale last summer, fans queued on Ticketmaster for up to 12 hours. Ticketmaster is now facing legal action for charging £350 for seats worth £150, misleading fans during the sale. Twickets and Ticketmaster's resale site are still selling a limited number of tickets at their original price, plus fees. Last month, the Home Office warned gig-goers that £1.6million was lost to ticket fraud in 2024.
