Those who had booked rooms were sent a message informing them their reservations could not be upheld due to a 'technical error'
Guests who had made reservations at a Manchester city centre hotel were left disappointed when they received cancellation notices on the same day that Oasis announced their massive tour, causing room prices to surge across the city.
The hotel is currently 'investigating the issue' while reassuring that this was in no way 'an attempt to resell rooms at inflated prices'. They have put a pause on accepting any reservations for these dates until further notice, the spokesperson confirmed, noting also that they are looking into how a 'small number of customers' managed to secure rooms 'at a higher rate later in the evening'.
Josh later tagged Booking.com and Maldron Hotels in a post on X about the situation, with the booking firm responding: "We regret to hear about this, Josh. Keep in mind that availability on our site is managed by the properties and, if they're unable to honor your booking, they need to help you find another place to stay."
"It's a shame as the city will make a fortune directly from these concerts and hotels will sell out." @sarahburrows78 penned: "Booked @MaldronHotels Manchester this morning at 8am and have just been told that there's been a technical issue and my booking hasn't gone through. Apparently everyone who was quick off the mark with the @oasis dates are being penalised. Disgusting."
