As ticket sales for Oasis Live 27 continue through the weekend, Saturday Night Live UK aired a sketch that humorously mocked the often chaotic process of acquiring tickets to see the rock band. The sketch featured the Gallagher brothers—Liam and Noel—as well as cast member George Fouraces, who portrayed UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham. In the sketch, Burnham returns to Manchester after a successful speech at the United Nations, where he declares, "I’m sick of Russia trying to divide the British people. We can divide ourselves, thank you very much." However, his political career is interrupted when the Gallagher brothers offer him a chance to join their tour. The sketch references the recent news that Manchester United football club has been found guilty of 114 out of 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League for financial rule breaches. The club denies the findings and plans to appeal. In the sketch, Liam Gallagher says, "assuming the stadium don’t get repossessed before then," referring to the potential sale of the Etihad Stadium. Burnham’s character, played by Fouraces, tells Angela Rayner, portrayed by Celeste Dring, "Ange, cancel the budget, I’m going on tour." The sketch also mocks the difficulty of buying Oasis tickets, which can involve the risk of being scammed. Burnham is asked to log in to a website and provide personal details, such as his password and national insurance number, before discovering that the Gallagher brothers are actually Russian spies. "Oasis has always been Russian pop," Liam declares, joking that "Wonderwall" is really "Wonderful Wall" about the Berlin Wall. Earlier this week, Oasis issued a warning to fans about potential scams. The band said in a statement: "Important: We have been made aware of possible Oasis ticket scams. As ticket information and unique codes are about to be distributed, please remain vigilant. Scammers may attempt to impersonate Oasis, our mailing list or our ticket partners. Please do not accept a code that is not sent by oasis@openstageit.com." Announced earlier this month, Oasis Live 27 will see the band tour again after their massive reunion shows in 2025. Ticket sales opened this weekend, with pre-registered fans receiving unique, non-transferrable codes to join an online queue during one of nine buying windows spread across three days (25 to 27 September). However, some fans are complaining about not receiving tickets. "Zero emails about Oasis tickets, none of my mates did either," one person wrote on social media. Others reported technical issues, with multiple fans saying that inputting their QR code resulted in an error loop. The Independent has contacted a representative of Ticketmaster for comment. Fans are also expressing frustration over ticket prices, which were meant to be fixed and range between £71.50 and £266.60, including fees. However, some people are reporting the cheapest tickets at over £170. Liam Gallagher responded quickly to complaints about the prices, telling fans to "stop moaning" on Friday (25 September). When asked about resellers charging "extortionate prices," he said, "Don’t f***ing buy them SIMPLE." This year’s ticket-buying process is under scrutiny after the band’s 2025 reunion shows attracted controversy over Ticketmaster’s alleged "dynamic pricing" model, which was said to inflate ticket prices during the frenzy to secure spots. An investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) found no evidence that such a system had been used for Oasis tickets in real time. However, the company was forced to change how it advertises concert tickets following the backlash.
