Oasis, beware of scams: "Up to €10,000 a ticket on secondary ticketing sites". What's going on

The rush for Oasis tickets in Rome comes hand in hand with warnings over online scams and out-of-control prices on the secondary market. Just hours before sales opened for the three dates at the Stadio Olimpico, the Postal Police urged fans to be extremely vigilant, while consumer group Codacons announced it would file a formal complaint after finding tickets listed on secondary ticketing sites for close to 10,000 euros.

The new Rome date

The new date on 26 July 2027 joins the already-announced shows on 29 and 30 July as part of "Oasis Live '27", the tour that will bring Liam and Noel Gallagher back to stages across Europe and the United States. But the huge demand for tickets has quickly fuelled both a parallel market and a wave of attempted fraud.
Via its social media channels and WhatsApp, the Postal Police issued a specific warning about fake access codes, clone websites and unauthorised sales. The code assigned to users selected to buy tickets is personal and non-transferable: it cannot be bought, passed on or resold. Fans are also urged to carefully check the sender's address on any communications they receive, and never to hand over passwords, payment card details or other personal information through links contained in suspicious emails or messages. The recommendation is to buy exclusively through official channels and to avoid paying private individuals or strangers without first verifying that the sale is legitimate.

Secondary ticketing alarm

At the same time, the secondary ticketing phenomenon has exploded. According to monitoring carried out by Codacons, just hours after official sales opened, some tickets for the 26 July show were reportedly being offered for prices close to 10,000 euros, while for the other two Rome dates the highest asking prices ranged between 5,000 and 7,000 euros.
The consumer association calculates mark-ups of more than 1,400% compared with the most expensive official ticket, the "Pre-Show Fan Experience", sold at 651.36 euros. It was precisely the speed with which tickets appeared on foreign resale platforms - despite the selection system and personal codes set up for purchases - that prompted Codacons to announce a formal complaint to the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office, to Agcom (the Italian communications watchdog) and to the Postal Police.

The aim is to demand checks on the sites offering tickets at heavily inflated prices and to establish whether there has been any illegal conduct or outright fraud at the expense of fans trying to secure a place at Oasis's return to Rome.
