Oasis Manchester tickets: how to buy safely for the Etihad

Where to buy Oasis Manchester tickets

There are only two safe places to get a ticket for Oasis at the Etihad Stadium: the official sellers announced by the band and the promoter, and the face-value resale or transfer service those sellers run. Everything else, from social media "spares" to marketplace listings, carries a real risk of being cancelled or refused at the gate.

• Official Oasis website

Tips that actually help

1. Buy only from the sellers linked on the official Oasis website and their face-value resale service.
2. With eleven dates, midweek shows such as Tuesday 8 June and Tuesday 15 June are often the easiest to get into.
3. Tickets are normally delivered to a mobile app close to the show. Screenshots and PDFs from strangers are a red flag.
4. Avoid 'spare ticket' offers on social media and unregulated resale sites; they are the most common source of fakes.

Standing or seated?

The Etihad Stadium is the home of Manchester City in Eastlands, east Manchester. Built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and since expanded, it hosts the biggest stadium concerts in the city, with a standing pitch in front of the stage and three tiers of seating around it. Standing gets you closer and into the atmosphere; seats guarantee a view and are the better pick for younger fans or anyone who needs to sit down. Accessible tickets are handled separately: accessible seating, wheelchair platforms and companion tickets are booked through the ticket seller's access line. The Etihad Campus tram stop is step-free, and accessible drop-off is available close to the stadium on event days.
