You’re not the only one that thinks this, Ed. 
Seems I am very much in the minority on being excited at Oasis reforming and having a chance to see and hear one of the biggest bands of my generation perform again. Love them or hate them they gave us some of the biggest anthems of the 90’s that are still being played all over the world. Can’t wait to hopefully see them in Dublin next year. Bring in on!

It’s Liam who is the really objectionable one - at least Noel writes the songs. Liam would have spent his life on the dole or in prison if it wasn’t for his brother!
To be fair he did write some songs for the group and Justin’s even got a lesson for one of them.
They are back because of the money they can make. We all would do the same.
The tickets are not cheap that is for sure. 100 euros probably are the cheapest.

I really don’t care about their fights over the years or that they probably mostly do this reunion for the money. I live in Sweden, and if they actually do a worldwide tour, I might be able to see them.
Call me nostalgic, but their music made a great impact in my life at that time when I was 18-ish and when they released Wonderwall.
That song was definitely the spark that started the burning desire for many people who then headed off on their guitar journey.
Starting a guitar journey is easy.
Trust me, I’ve done it lots of times.
Now. With the help of the Justin Guitar site, app and community, I’m actually on the path to mark one of my own milestones.
To play Wonderwall with the correct(!) strumming.

To be honest, I really don’t care about this reunion. 
Maybe it’s a bit weird, but I just buy music and visit concerts of musicians who are kind to their fans and their fellow band members and who enjoy playing together and intertacting with their audience.
I may have missed some great music because of this, but that’s OK for me.
Of course I had been a good student and practised the Wonderwall-chords 
I even enjoyed the lesson, because the chords are so useful for lots of other songs, but it didn’t turn me into a fan either.
I’m very happy for all the Oasis fans out there who must be really excited about the news. Surely that’s a dream come true.
Have loads of fun and a great time ! 
… in the meantime I’m hoping for Green Day to return to Germany very soon

For anyone who tried for tickets, I know a few who did, but who baulked at the dynamic pricing they were asked to pay after queuing for hours online:

Friends of a friend got so worked up to fever pitch after queuing online for several hours that they paid £700 for 2 tickets that should have been £125 each! In the calm light of day they are now totally panicked as they seriously can’t afford this.

I got up at 2am in Chicago, logged on and got 2 tickets for the Dublin sat night gig for €86.50 each. Happy days

I’m sorry but I don’t get how can you agree to pay this if you can’t afford it?

I’m with you - there’s plenty of problems with the whole ticketing thing but people (adults) have to make responsible decisions.
The whole lack of transparency is the most obvious thing that the law needs to address. If I join a supermarket queue and my basket of goods costs £50, it shouldn’t be £150 by I get to the checkout (in fact I think that is illegal in the UK). Many people wouldn’t have queued in the first place if they’d known they were going to be looking at prices that have tripled. This is entirely separate from the moral argument of a band from a working class background allowing it’s fans to be fleeced

Same way one can purchase a guitar or other equipment they really really want, but can’t afford, in a moment of weakness.

I can understand how this can happen, you queue for potentially hours, everyone wants tickets, you feel so lucky that you’ve managed to secure tickets that have been hyped like crazy by the media over the past few days. You eventually get to checkout and only then discover that what should have been £250 is now £700 but the psychology of the situation will make it super hard to quit out at that point.

Its called “buyer’s remorse”.

Oh I get the psychology of it, it’s exactly why they’re not upfront about the prices but it’s not like you can’t back out - it would be would be way worse in person doing a walk of shame back along a queue without any tickets - maybe Ticketmaster can implement that next

Hope all here got tickets to the first few concerts. Could all implode after that .
Interestingly, this came up in my YT feed a few days ago.
