How Oasis 2025 ticket prices compare to Taylor Swift, Coldplay and Paul McCartney... and the Knebworth and Maine Road gigs

There was plenty of grumbling when Oasis revealed the ticket prices for next summer's comeback tour. Standing tickets for the band's five Heaton Park gigs in July 2025 are going to set fans back nearly £150 apiece, while 'premium seat packages' for the Cardiff, Edinburgh and Wembley shows are a whopping £250 plus fees.

Reports suggest Noel and Liam could pocket a staggering £50m each from the tour. But with the UK still in the grip of a cost-of-living crisis, it's led some to accuse the band of pricing out large sections of its fanbase.

But how do the Oasis ticket prices compare to other headline-grabbing tours of recent times, such as Taylor Swift and Coldplay? And how do they compare to the mega-gigs at Maine Road and Knebworth in the band's 90s pomp?

Said to have generated more than $1bn, Taylor Swift's Eras tour is the most lucrative in music history. When the star rocked up at Liverpool's Anfield stadium in June, standing tickets were £143, while seats ranged from £57.90 to £182.75.

Similarly when Coldplay played four nights at the Etihad in June 2023, as part of their Music of the Spheres world tour, tickets started at around £70 for seating and £104 for standing. But those prices pale in comparison to what the Gallaghers' great hero Paul McCartney commanded for his Co-Op Live shows this coming December.

Many fans were left outraged after being asked to shell out up to £600 to see Macca play in Manchester for the first time in 13 years.

So that's how the Oasis 2025 tickets fare in comparison with other popstars of their ilk. But how do they equate to back in the 90s?

It's not completely fair to compare gig prices
