Lucky Oasis fans who get tickets must do one thing to avoid gig heartbreak

Liam Gallagher once said that he "couldn't stand" to be around his brother for one day longer after reportedly wielding a guitar at him at a show in Paris - and it took 15 years for them to announce an end to the feud.

However, Liam also said before the Oasis split that he "couldn't f*****g stand" their hit song Wonderwall - and that hasn't stopped him playing it numerous times since. It seems unlikely that the once warring brothers will axe their UK tour dates, which could bring in an estimated £400 million - but it can't be ruled out.

Betting companies have offered odds of 4/1 - 20 percent on the odds on Oasis splitting again before the shows make it to the stage. Meanwhile, fans have already jokingly expressed concerns, with one exclaiming: "It’s got to be on a par with buying a Morrissey ticket. Assume the gig isn’t happening until it starts, and even then keep your fingers crossed."

Another agreed: "Exactly this. I was at a show in America during their first tour—back when they had everything to play for, rather than now—that they stopped five songs in because someone threw a shoe onstage. Anything could derail this grand reunion between now and next summer."

"It's riskier than buying Day 5 tickets for an England Test Match!" a third fan panicked. A fourth rationalised: "Got to imagine it'll be like the Guns n Roses reunion shows and there will be massive penalties in the contract if they don't show up."

However, instead of speculating, there's one sure-fire way to make sure your purchase remains protected: Section 75.

It's crucial to pay in full immediately, with a credit card instead of a debit card, and avoid Buy Now Pay Later schemes or unofficial ticket re-sale websites, as following these steps is the only way to guarantee maximum protection.

Section 75 is a part of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 designed to give customers following these rules control over their money should something major happen.

It enables them to claim against their bank or building society for any cost ranging from £100 to £30,000.

Total Money spokesperson James McCaffrey referenced this extra layer of protection in a story for GB News, urging fans to go direct to the point of sale and avoid third party websites.

"With Oasis tickets going on sale this weekend, some might say that the feuding brothers won’t even make it to July’s world tour without another bust-up. And after all, if they decide to be part of the queue for tickets, will they be able to get their money back should tempers flare and events are cancelled?" he asked.

"Whatever the outcome, if a ticket costs more than £100, you could protect your purchase with Section 75. It works all around the world, and you might even be able to claim consequential costs, such as hotels and train tickets.

"So even though you won’t be feeling supersonic, at least you won’t look back in anger when you’re left out of pocket. You’ll just need to make sure you book directly with the ticket company and use a credit card — as it’s not available to debit cards or buy now pay later."
