Oasis fan paid £35 for restricted view ticket and 'couldn't believe' what happened
An Oasis fan who paid £35 for restricted view ticket 'couldn't believe' what happened when the band reunited on stage. Last year, Cardiff fan Kelly Reardon Brown was one of thousands who spent hours online hoping to get a ticket to see band Oasis on their reunion tour. Like many, she missed out - but this week her luck changed as just days before the band opened their tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, some very lucky fans received an email to tell them to look out for the chance to bag some late release tickets. And to Kelly's surprise, they were a lot cheaper than she expected. Instead of paying the anticipated £150 per ticket for Liam and Noel Gallgher's first show back together as a band, Kelly, who is a sales director forked out £35. The only sticking point is that it was for a seat advertised as 'restricted view' - but turned out better than expected, Wales Online reports.

I had been checking the Ticketmaster website but everything was really high priced. I was expecting to pay around £150 a ticket for the area we sat in. I also knew how scarce the tickets are and it was opening night too." Kelly's seat was in block U5, which is right in the top left corner of the map below and on the upper level. And she couldn't get over the price. "I genuinely thought I'd messed up at first and had only bought one ticket. (Kelly bought two) When I went back and saw I'd got them for £34.50 each, I thought there had been a mistake. "I then text a friend who works for the stadium and checked that I didn't have fake tickets! I genuinely couldn't believe it." Kelly hadn't been scammed and the U5 experience was "worth every penny." "The view was brilliant," she added. "You could see the entire stage from side on and you even got to see backstage too when they were walking in which brilliant as they (Noel and Liam) turned to us and clapped when we all cheered. "The screen was bent backwards so we had view of half of the screen. There was plenty of space too for us to dance. Great seats." On reflection Kelly wishes she'd got more to be able to ask more friends, but she was afraid they'd sell out if she entered the buying process again. "Absolutely worth every penny. I can't believe I got to see Oasis on the history making opening night for £34.50! Im so lucky!" During the opening gig on July 4, frontman Liam Gallagher made reference to the tickets controversy. Addressing the crowd, he asked: "You all having a good time, yeah?" He then added: "Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?" Oasis tickets can still be obtained from a variety of online retailers, both official and unofficial resale websites - even at the eleventh hour. Ticketmaster will be the first port of call for fans as the original selling platform for the tour. However, the online ticketing behemoth hasn't had any tickets available for quite some time, bar a few production holds. At present, only individuals with allocated codes are able to purchase resale tickets. Here's the link: TICKETMASTER - Buy Oasis tickets here. Resale 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 allowed 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. If you prefer to do your own digging, we've got you covered. Here's a comprehensive list of resale websites where you can find Oasis tickets, including official resale website Twickets: Resale websites should be the primary focus for fans. Oasis have designated Twickets as their official resale website, but they haven't had tickets available for a considerable period. Fans have been gravitating towards Viagogo, Vivid Seats and StubHub. At the time of writing, some Oasis tickets are being sold on Viagogo for approximately £200 each. Here's the links: TWICKETS - Buy Oasis resale tickets now. VIAGOGO - Buy Oasis resale tickets now. VIVID SEATS - Buy Oasis resale tickets now. STUBHUB - Buy Oasis resale tickets now. Lastly, official tickets can also be procured from the VIP and hospitality-focused website Seat Unique. This retailer offers fans the best opportunity to secure a spot at an Oasis tour dates this year. Moreover, these VIP tickets provide fans with an opportunity to experience the band in a more luxurious and glamorous setting.

Fan buys £35 restricted view Oasis ticket and can't get over how good it is
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info In the run-up to the much-anticipated Oasis reunion at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, a stroke of luck struck for some fans as they received emails alerting them to snap up last-minute tickets. For those who had endured the gruelling online queues back in August, this was a delightful twist – all the more sweetened by the bargain price of just £35 a ticket. Cardiff local Kelly Reardon Brown, who had previously spent a fruitless summer day trying to secure tickets, found her fortunes reversed this week. Instead of shelling out the expected £150 per ticket to see Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite on stage, she managed to bag hers for a mere £35. The only minor hiccup? The tickets were for seats with a 'restricted view' label, but it turned out to be the best £35 Kelly, a sales director, had splashed out all year, reports Wales Online.

I had been checking the Ticketmaster website but everything was really high priced. I was expecting to pay around £150 a ticket for the area we sat in. I also knew how scarce the tickets are and it was opening night too." She found herself in block U5, tucked away in the top left corner of the stadium map, on the upper tier, and was astounded by the price. Kelly recounted her initial confusion: "I genuinely thought I'd messed up at first and had only bought one ticket.

"I then text a friend who works for the stadium and checked that I didn't have fake tickets! I genuinely couldn't believe it."

I can't believe I got to see Oasis on the history making opening night for £34.50! Im so lucky!". At the inaugural concert on 4 July, lead singer Liam Gallagher commented on the ticket fiasco. Speaking to the audience, he queried: "You all having a good time, yeah?". He then quipped: "Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?". The tickets for the highly anticipated Oasis reunion flew off the virtual shelves earlier this year, selling out at all venues due to overwhelming demand. Nevertheless, there are still a few avenues open for fans hoping to catch the band at the last minute. Limited last-minute tickets can be purchased from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans unable to attend can sell their seats, although these tend to fluctuate in availability. Meanwhile, resale platforms like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub, and Twickets are offering tickets for various dates starting at £121, but fans should always remember that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, advise against buying resale tickets.
