Oasis fans could lose out on hundreds if they do this one thing after the reunion tour
If you're headed to the Oasis reunion tour, keeping your ticket could be a gateway to a fortune. The long-anticipated Oasis reunion tour is finally underway, with the famed brothers taking to Cardiff's Principality Stadium last Friday, July 4. But fans are being warned about doing one thing after seeing their idols during the tour - as it could cost them hundreds. While most gigs nowadays only offer digital tickets, Britpop fans had the opportunity to pay a little bit more to get a physical ticket too. And while they may have done this purely for nostalgic reasons - it could be a real money spinner. And experts have warned revellers who chose this option not to throw their ticket stubs in the bin after the gig, as old tour tickets can be worth a fortune online as collectibles. The team at SeatPick discovered that an old ticket stub from an Oasis gig at Oxford Brookes University's student union from way back in 1994 was recently flogged for almost £400 on eBay. And a paper ticket from their 1993 gig at Liverpool's Krazy House - where the Gallaghers weren't even headlining - is up on the reselling site for £699.99, with 16 people interesting in buying. Gilad Zilberman, CEO at ticket platform SeatPick suggests: 'If you managed to secure tickets for any Oasis gigs this summer, and paid an extra few pounds to receive the physical tickets, you could be due for a big payday. "Music memorabilia, especially for what feels like it could be once in a lifetime events, can massively surge in value over time. And with recent physical Oasis tickets selling for nearly £400 in just the past 60 days, you can only imagine what other memorabilia has gone for in recent years." While the most valued Oasis ticket stubs are for their hometown of Manchester, such as Heaton Park, stubs from their old Scottish gigs could make you some money too. A T-shirt and ticket stub from the Gallaghers' gig at Edinburgh's Royal Highland Centre in 1996 is selling for a whopping £389 on eBay. A stub from their 1996 show at Loch Lomond is also up for £63. And an old stub from their last gig at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium, before their epic return this August, is up for sale for just over £40, while their Murrayfield concert from July 200 is on sale for £35. If the band splits up again, which many Brits think might even happen before the tour ends, ticketholders will be in for even more cash, Zilberman explains. The expert continued: "Fans are urged to keep hold of their tickets after the show and keep them in a safe place. With some of the most expensive tour memorabilia being from the 90s, fans are warned that this won't be a quick turnaround; it's a long-term investment." How to preserve your Oasis tickets The expert gave some advice on how to keep your ticket stubs in top condition and ready for the day that they'll be worth a wad of cash. Zilberman said: "To preserve tickets and keep them in good condition, it's recommended to store them in a dark, cool and dry place. "Light exposure can cause fading and discolouration over time, so purchasing special UV-protective covers is a good idea. "Additionally, concert-goers should keep tickets in a consistently cool place, as changes in temperature and humidity can lead to mould growth, ruining the condition of the ticket.'

SPFL club ‘have second WORST stadium food in Britain' but Premiership side are in top 5 BEST
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SPFL outfit Hamilton Accies were rated second worst in the whole of Britain for the standard of their stadium food offering at the end of the season. But there is some good news for Scottish football fans - with one Scottish Premiership club rated THIRD overall for its food offering within a stadium. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A general view of the pitch and stands at New Douglas Park Credit: PA:Press Association 2 A fan eats a pie Credit: Getty It's all according to a study by ticket comparison site SeatPick - with their data based on an analysis of Google reviews mentioning food and using AI to gauge their sentiment. Hamilton Accies' New Douglas Park came second from bottom on the rankings - with 65.5% of their food references negative and 17.2% positive. It's worth pointing out, of course, that the Accies have now agreed to play at a DIFFERENT stadium, Broadwood, in the coming campaign. By contrast it's near neighbours Clyde who will play their matches at New Douglas Park. New Douglas Park wasn't the only Scottish stadium making an appearance on the list, with Dens Park in Dundee coming in fourth worst of the stadiums in the UK in terms of its grub. Worst of the whole lot was Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium, with over three-quarters of food-related reviews (76.9%) being negative, and just 9.6% are positive. Nottingham's City Ground, coming third from bottom, is the Premier League stadium with the worst food. Overall, Seaview in Belfast - the home of Crusaders - tops the rankings with 81.7% positive food reviews, making it the UK's best stadium for food quality. The Meadow in Chesham, the home of Chesham Utd, is next on the list. Then comes Hearts' Tynecastle ground, where 77.8% of food-related reviews are positive with just 13% negative. Hamilton Accies fans chant 'Sack The Board' as club learn relegation fate after Queen's Park draw Morecambe's Globe Arena is next with 77.6% positive food-related reviews. Then comes another Belfast Arena, the Ravenhill Stadium, the home of Ulster Rugby. The five WORST and BEST stadium food offerings *Using data from SeatPick WORST Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield - Sheffield Wednesday New Douglas Park, Hamilton - Hamilton Accies (last season, now Clyde) City Ground, Nottingham - Nottingham Forest Dens Park, Dundee - Dundee FC Alexander Stadium, Birmingham - Athletics BEST Seaview, Belfast - Crusaders The Meadow, Chesham - Chesham Town Tynecastle Park, Edinburgh - Hearts Globe Arena, Morecambe - Morecambe Town Ravenhill, Belfast - Ulster Rugby Elsewhere on the positive list, Forfar Athletic's Station Park, home of the famous bridie, comes in at an impressive 18th. Celtic Park is 26th on the list, one spot above the Queen's Club tennis in London. Gilad Zilberman, CEO of organisers SeatPick, said: "What this study provides is more of an honest look at stadium food from a fan-first perspective with some surprising results. "Despite their recent success in the Premier League, the food at Nottingham Forest's ground is littered with bad reviews, and with a mix of larger and smaller venues on the list, it shows that money and results don't always translate into improved amenities at hosting stadiums. "Additionally, with stadiums having a large selection of reviews mentioning food, it shows that fans are also vocal consumers who are quick to praise or criticise their experiences in the stadium on matchdays."

Chicago, Nashville and NYC rank among the best music cities in the world
Move over, Eurovision—America's music cities are staging their own global takeover. A new report from SeatPick ranks the world's best cities for music lovers, and three U.S. heavyweights made the top 10: Chicago (#3), Nashville (#5) and New York City (#7). Each scored high for concerts, venues and local talent, but with distinct vibes and sonic histories. Chicago, home to more than 1,800 local artists and 1,000 concerts a year, took bronze overall. That's no surprise for a city that gave the world house music, electric blues and a jazz scene so strong it rivals New Orleans. With nearly 300 music businesses driving the engine, the Windy City's sound is as deep as its dish. Nashville, of course, had to show up. The self-proclaimed 'Music City' scored big with the second-highest number of music businesses (344), reflecting a tight-knit industry presence. While it ranked lower in concert volume (just 890 shows), Nashville's studio-to-stage pipeline and influence on American music are unmatched. And then there's New York, which slid into seventh place. It may have fewer venues and festivals than Berlin or Vienna, but NYC is basically the blueprint when it comes to cultural impact. Hip-hop, punk, disco, salsa, bebop and Broadway? All born here. Its 3,219 homegrown artists were the most of any city surveyed—because, well, of course they were. 'Recent reports show that live music ticket sales are forecast to continuously increase until 2029, by 34 percent. Music ticket sales are therefore a driving force in the growth of the music industry, and are expected to continue to be highly in demand,' said Gilad Zilberman, CEO of SeatPick. 'For this reason, concerts, festivals and venues are crucial to each city's music scene and its ability to thrive and provide the highly demanded entertainment that the music industry offers.' The rankings come as the music tourism market is exploding, projected to hit $267.85 billion by 2030. As tours get bigger and fans go further for the live experience, cities like Chicago and Nashville are becoming major travel destinations, not just music capitals.

It was also calculated to have a significantly stronger music scene than Edinburgh, hosting nearly three times as many concerts as the Scottish capital.
