What is a fan to fan exchange on Ticketmaster and can I use it for my Oasis ticket?

Days have now passed since hopeful Oasis fans were camped around every device that could be used to browse the internet with the hopes of securing those golden tickets for their historic comeback gigs. General release tickets for the Mancunian rock stars sold out after going on sale from on Saturday (August 31).

Tickets for the band's two shows in Ireland went live at 8am while tickets for the rest of the UK, including their five shows at Heaton Park in Manchester, went on sale from 9am.

At one point, more than half a million people were waiting in the queue for tickets to the shows at Croke Park in Dublin.
