Oasis Announces 2025 North American Tour, Changes Ticketmaster Strategy to Prioritize Fans
4 min readIconic British band Oasis has officially announced their much-anticipated 2025 North American tour, marking their reunion after more than a decade away from the stage. In a move that reflects their dedication to their loyal fan base, Oasis has opted out of Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing strategy, a decision that aims to ensure fairer access to tickets for genuine fans rather than ticket scalpers.
Oasis Live ’25 North American Tour Dates Announced
The Oasis Live ’25 tour will kick off its North American leg on August 24, 2025, at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Canada. From there, the band will perform at Soldier Field in Chicago on August 28, and at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on August 31. The tour continues with a performance at Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles on September 6 and concludes with a final show at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on September 12.
The tour comes 16 years after the band’s last North American performance, and fans have been eagerly awaiting this reunion. Cage the Elephant will join as a special guest across all tour dates, adding to the excitement of the concert series.

In a statement released on social media, Oasis explained their decision to forgo Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model for their North American tour. Dynamic pricing adjusts ticket prices in real-time based on demand, often leading to inflated prices for fans. Oasis noted that while dynamic pricing can help combat ticket scalping, it can also result in poor experiences for fans when demand exceeds system capacity.
“To ensure that our fans have a fair chance to attend these shows, we are not using Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model for Oasis Live ’25,” the band announced. Oasis is focusing on maintaining an affordable ticket-buying experience for their audience, and in a unique twist, they are asking fans to complete a short questionnaire to gain access to pre-sale tickets. The questionnaire includes questions about how many Oasis concerts fans have attended in the past and their knowledge of the band’s last performance in North America.

Pre-Sale and General Ticket Information
Registration for pre-sale tickets is currently open through the official Oasis website, and fans can register until Tuesday, October 1, 2024, at 8 a.m. EST. The general ticket sale will commence on Friday, October 4, 2024, at 12 p.m. local time. Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster, but with the assurance that dynamic pricing will not be applied.
This move by Oasis has been welcomed by fans, who often struggle with high resale prices and the overwhelming competition for tickets that dynamic pricing encourages. The band’s decision to take a fan-first approach, combined with their exclusive pre-sale registration process, is a step toward combating the ticketing challenges that have plagued many large tours in recent years.
