Oasis is set to announce two additional performances at Dublin's Croke Park, it has been revealed.
The rock band's first two concerts went on sale on Saturday morning and were the first of the 17 nights to sell out, the Mirror reports.
Following the popularity of the band, insiders have now disclosed that Liam and Noel are set to confirm two extra dates at Croke park the following weekend, August 23 and 24, after their initial performances there.
A source stated: "The demand in Ireland to see Oasis is absolutely massive in Ireland. The tickets this morning will be snapped up in minutes and there will be thousands upon thousands left disappointed if it stayed at just the two.
The Mirror has reached out to representatives of the band for comment.
She also stated: "The queue is moving along as fans buy tickets. As anticipated, millions of fans are accessing our site so have been placed in a queue." Some Oasis fans spent hours dealing with technical issues on booking sites.
Ticketmaster has issued a warning to fans still in the online queue on Saturday afternoon, stating that "inventory is now limited" and some ticket types are no longer available.
Earlier in the day, eager fans reported difficulties with several booking websites before tickets for the Manchester band's reunion were even released. Websites of Manchester-based promoter SJM Concerts' Gigs and Tours, Ticketmaster, and See Tickets all informed visitors about the need to wait for page refreshes to join queues. Both Gigs and Tours and See Tickets seemed to have issues from 8.30am until approximately 12.30pm.
A spokeswoman for Ticketmaster refuted claims that the website had crashed earlier and recommended customers to maintain their position in line. Some hopefuls for Oasis tickets also claimed they were "suspended" by Ticketmaster UK and Ireland under suspicion of being "bots". The ticket-selling website's staff responded on X, previously known as Twitter, through its customer service account, advising: "Please make sure you are only using one tab, clear your cookies, and ensure you aren't using any VPN software on your device.
" They also posted a link to a guide on "how to improve your chances for getting popular tickets". Scott McLean, aged 28, accessed his account on the ticket-selling website at 7.30am on Saturday in anticipation.A Belfast business analyst has shared his frustration after being kicked out of the queue for Oasis Live 25 tickets, despite being among the first 20,000 in line when Irish sales opened at 8am. He spent around 30 minutes in the queue before selecting four tickets for the band's show at Croke Park. However, his browser began buffering for half an hour as he tried to make the purchase. "I followed their advice, cleared my cookies and cache on my browser and then it kicked me out completely. It just came up to that error screen after I followed their guidance," he told the PA news agency. "I had to rejoin the queue and I ended up about 700,000 places worse off after following their guidance, reports the Mirror.
Jonathan Brown, Chief executive of the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It's a dreadful combination, I suppose, you've got that high level of emotion, a high level of excitement about Oasis reforming, and a limited supply of tickets and that's going to lead to problems, it's going to lead to people trying to scam people."
Tom Kiehl, UK Music chief executive, also expressed his concern over inflated ticket prices on the show. Mr Kiehl added: "Obviously, it's a natural tendency, if you can't get tickets, to find alternative sources but I very much urge music fans today, if they don't get tickets, not to take that route."
