Tickets for the North American leg of Oasis' highly-anticipated 2025 tour go on sale Friday, just after experts issued warnings for fans trying to purchase them ahead of time amid massive global demand.
After an abrupt break-up in 2009, the Britpop band known for worldwide smash hits such as "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back In Anger" are slated to tour five cities in North America next summer.
Demand for tickets to the upcoming tour has been high, leading to warnings as fans attempted to purchase from resale sites before tickets to the performances were even released.
Though tickets weren't on sale yet, many resale sites offered what experts call "speculative ticketing," when scalpers sell fans what is essentially an "IOU" for tickets that they have yet to purchase.

Ticketmaster and Live Nation, its parent company, are warning fans not to fall victim to the sky-high prices.
NBC 5 Responds is also following complaints of people who said tickets were transferred out of their Ticketmaster account without their knowledge or permission.
