That’s rich! Liam’s dig at Noel over gig prices as millions battle to score Oasis tickets in UK
Liam Gallagher once criticised his brother Noel for pricing concert tickets for one of his solo shows at $545.

Some 14 million across the UK have battled to get their hands on the coveted tickets.
For the Manchester shows, a general admission standing ticket was expected to cost around $295 but that price had risen to $695 under the dynamic pricing policy that reflects increased demand.
Oasis fans accused Liam of hypocrisy for the 2017 post. One wrote: “This hasn’t aged well...”
At least 450 individuals have submitted official complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority about dynamic pricing.
Ticketmaster claims prices are set by the event organiser, and it has been claimed that Oasis could have rejected the pricing model.
