Cardiff, in Wales, has attracted an international crowd for the first Oasis concert in almost 16 years.

Band members and brothers, Liam and Noel Gallagher, had given up making music together following a number of fights.

This history didn't stop their reunion tour tickets selling out in record time.

While many fans grew up with Oasis in the 1990s, the band has a younger audience as well.

As soon as tickets went on sale on 31 August 2024, fans were disappointed.

After they'd spent hours in a virtual queue, tickets which were advertised for £135 plus an administration charge, had jumped to £355 plus charges.

This method of selling tickets is known as 'dynamic pricing'.

In other words, as demand rises, so does the ticket price.

Many fans thought that this was greedy and, although this sales method is popular with tour organisers, artists can prevent its use.

In this case, the Gallagher brothers stated that they hadn't been aware of how the tickets were sold.

Now, much of last year's anger has been replaced by excitement for fans like father and son, Brad and Eddie Owens.

Friends Amy, Polly and Makala saw Oasis play together for the last time in 2009.

They're keen to see them once again.
