Days after brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher announced a reunion tour for their band Oasis, many fans faced extensive waits, system glitches and surge pricing on Ticketmaster for concert dates in the U.K. and Ireland next year. NBC’s Chloe Melas reports for TODAY.
Oasis may have told listeners to not 'look back in anger' in a hit song, but fans of the band are doing just that after reporting problems with concert giant Ticketmaster. The British rockers, known for hits like “Wonderwall,” “Champagne Supernova' and, yes, 'Don't Look Back in Anger,' announced in August that they would reunite for a tour for the first time in 15 years.
com crashed, leaving those lucky enough to receive a code waiting in online queues for hours. The same day, Ticketmaster issued a statement addressing the glitches, saying there has been “historically unprecedented demand” for tickets to Swift's concerts. Another presale for Capital One card holders was marred by similar problems, prompting Ticketmaster to cancel a ticket sale to the general public.
