Oasis Tickets on Twickets: Last-minute Oasis Murrayfield tickets appear on resale site - how it works and is it trustworthy?

Around 210,000 fans are expected to attend the concerts at Murrayfield Stadium - but hundreds of thousand of others have tried and failed to get a ticket.

When they went on sale last year there were enormous online queues and only the lucky few got to the front and successfully bagged their spot.

Even then, for many the now-notorious dynamic pricing kicked in, meaning they had to pay far more than the original face value for tickets as the prices climbed with (inevitable) demand.

So, the news that somebody as late as last night managed to buy a face value ticket for the gig may come as a surprise to some.

The ticket was bought on ‘ethical’ ticket resale site Twickets. Here’s everything you need to know about it - and how you could use it to get an Oasis ticket for Murrayfield.

It may sound like any number of resale sites like StubHub, but the difference is that they can only be sold for their original cover price or lower. This means that there are no ticket touts on Twickets, just people who want their tickets to go to genuine fans without making a penny in profit. The world’s not such a bad place after all!
