Oasis fans have ‘dreams crushed’ after Ticketmaster accused them of being bots Oasis fans have said their “dreams have been crushed” after Ticketmaster cancelled their tickets to the band’s reunion tour accusing them of being bots.
Leighah Conroy, 24, from Cumbria, said her friend, who does not wish to be named, purchased the tickets on August 28 last year but received an email from Ticketmaster on Friday claiming it was “identified that bots were used to make this purchase”.
Fans in the UK and overseas have expressed their frustration after the company believed genuine fans to be bots trying to purchase tickets to Oasis Live ’25 which starts on July 4.
“I know there are a lot of platforms trying to use bots to resell the tickets, but there must be another way to take control of this situation, which is not to take (it out on) all the people that are buying the tickets in a legal form,” she said.
Marta Bonnet, 48, initially thought the email was fake, but after realising it was from Ticketmaster she said she does not intend to purchase tickets from the company in the future, despite being a loyal customer.
