1,000,000 people spending upwards of £150 6 weeks (?) before T-day. I’m not suggesting Glastonbury won’t sale out but surely it’s gonna dent demand a little bit. 
 

Not gonna debate this but think this dwarfs the Eras tour on every metric you could think of 

 

it'll have practically zero effect on glastonbury sales

Is this just for Heaton Park?

 

Just Heaton.

But not in the numbers that purchase actual tickets ? 

I’m not so familiar with the UK dates that Taylor did, was it more than Oasis have announced?

 

worth mentioning that their are reports that more dates will follow for Oasis 

 

talking on a UK scale here, not doubt that Taylor wipes the floor with Oasis in the states

Apart from ticket sales? 

She sold 650,000 tickets for her London shows alone.

Without looking I’d imagine Coldplay have done similar numbers last year maybe more … no impact either

This Oasis tour will be close to double that once the Wednesday Heaton Park and Wembley dates are inevitably confirmed

So do we think that this Oasis reunion could hurt Glastonbury ticket sales? 

Not a chance. Glastonbury is too much of a “bucket list” event. 

[efcfanwirral]

I think the only effect it'll have after this announcement they're definitely not playing is removing a few people who would've only tried for Glastonbury to be at the first Oasis gig back. So back to wherever Glastonbury demand would be if Oasis weren't touring.

Yes, that's right... so probably about 1,000,000 when you include Cardiff, Liverpool, and Edinburgh.   So it's directly comparable, not dwarfed by Oasis 'on every metric', which was the point!

Hope London gets someone decent as a replacement for Courteeners

 

Blossoms and Courteeners is exactly what you'd expect but my god its beyond boring

 

Courteeners probably aren't doing London as they'd get a smaller crowd than Blossoms on before them lol

Other than the ballot, which I have signed up for, is there another presale?  I've heard rumours of one, and have been on the mailing list since 1994 or thereabouts, so was hoping there might be something for loyal fans or whatever...

No, but might lead to a shortage of bucket hats in the market

Even the ones that have twat and c**t written on in a pattern as I saw at both Arctic Monkeys last year and Foo Fighters earlier this year?

i mentioned a couple of pages back that there is already eff all hotel rooms available for those dates

I have seen it claimed that hotels in some places where Oasis are playing have cancelled their hotel or Airbnb res and then tried to re-sell them for whopping mark-ups.

[Badlands]

Watched There & Then on Prime the other day and was shocked how poor they sounded as a band. As a kid I probably didn’t take too much notice of their performances - just buzzing off their songs, but they never seemed to have been the tightest of acts.

Liams vocals on the other hand were phenomenal.

The Gardens Hotel in Manchester cancelled my mates for exactly that

By the Sea & GMEX gigs are much better IMO.

 

GMEX is the best gig I saw from them.

Happened to us with the Maldron (the one in the news).

 

Not putting this on Twitter or anything, but if anyone is looking at Manchester and can't find hotels, airport ones are normal prices still. Its a very short train ride away and the trains are later to there than most other places

Except the metrics that involve actual, you know, numbers.

 

In the UK+Ireland, the Eras tour sold over 1.3 million tickets across 18 shows (and by most reckoning could have easily sold the same again).

 

Even assuming they add both of the expected extra dates in Manchester and Wembley - Oasis will max out at a shade under 1.16 million. Partly due to a lower average capacity, partly due to playing two fewer shows.

[panasonic2011]

We booked loads on booking.com as I saw that somebody had a spreadsheet of the dates the night before the announcement.  My wife and I took a punt on the dates being correct and  booked as many as we could for both Wembley and Cardiff and was amazed as we got dirt cheap Premier Inn  at Cardiff Bay for £89 for a twin room

Hotel in Manc is trying to cancel my mate's room, but he booked through booking.com so he is refusing to accept it (the hotel cannot unilaterally cancel after accepting). Booking.com will force the hotel to accommodate him or sort an alternative.

My mate got the loyal fans one. He randomly signed up to the new mailing list in April. 

 

You are only a loyal fan if you signed up to the new one..

Right now on Expedia, cheapest I could find in Cardiff for the date of the first show within the city limits was £530. Yikes.

I thought it was funny that the second eras show wasn’t added to Cardiff as I even saw a poster for it but it never went on sale.

TS sold out 18 stadiums. Oasis have 14 shows lined up and no doubt will add to that. Taylor could have sold out many more shows too.
