Oasis reunion

Oasis's first two albums were superb (as is The Masterplan). Later albums had sprinklings of great songs and plenty thats mediocre. I've seen them live 3 times - at the Etihad, at the Reebok and at the real old trafford. Each time the concerts were good, enjoyable but not great - and they were short, very short. I just don't get why so many people are happy to pay such huge sums for tickets for what is, obviously, a cash grab.

Good luck to those going, and hope everyone enjoys them, but I just don't get it.

To the extent that I'm going watching in New Jersey - no kidding.......... :-)

If you wanna good drink beforehand, and miss all the tram queues from town, get early tram to The Beehive pub. Only 10mins walk from there to the park and They have a £2 a pint lager on as well that is very drinkable.
Shout me if you do that and i'll meet for a pint and some var chat )

I grew up with them but was too young for the gigs in the 90s. But have seen them numerous times. But this will be the first time seeing them when they were not promoting an album and therefore playing the new stuff when all everyone wanted to hear was the classics.

Sounds good to me mate, I’ll message you on the day, I’m doing the Sunday 20th date.
 
Ticket touts are employing teams of workers to bulk-buy tickets for the UK's biggest concerts like Oasis and Taylor Swift so they can be resold for profit, a BBC investigation has found.

It is not just music concerts targeted by touts as the BBC found evidence of thousands of Premier League football tickets being advertised illegally.

What tram stop is that? It sounds like a plan.

Maybe because they love the band, love the music, have wanted to see the comeback for years and want to experience it with the new generation. Everything is a cash grab these days. Did you pay over £150 for the FA Cup final that was shown live on terrestrial TV stations like me?

Or, like my Wife, loved them first time out, but never saw them live?
