Ticketmaster cancels Oasis tickets, fans ‘crushed’

While the emails came from Ticketmaster, they were likely sent at the behest of the tour promoters SJM Concerts, MCD Productions, and DF Concerts, all of whom have ties to TM owner Live Nation. It’s is unclear if the band or thier management was involved in the decision.

“To say that we’re bots is totally out of order for Ticketmaster because we tried all day to get the tickets,” UK fan Leighah Conroy told the Guardian. “Our heads have been pretty battered these past 24 hours. I felt sick in the stomach. It’s a band you’ll never experience or see again and it’s been on my bucket list for years. It just feels like my dreams have been completely crushed.”

“At first we thought this email was fake or a spam email, but no, it was true,” said Marta Bonnet, a fan and attorney from Spain. “We usually use Ticketmaster to buy our tickets … But now, how can I trust this page, which is supposed to be the official page? I really can’t believe what has happened.”

Fans were offered a form to fill out to dispute the cancellation.

“Anyone who has been contacted and believes a refund was made in error has been sent a form to fill in for the tour’s promoters to review,” siad Ticketmaster in a statement.
