The band’s loyal supporters have been greeted by a welcome announcement when entering the gig venue Heaton Park
Oasis fans attending the band’s second leg of their reunion tour in Manchester have received welcome news ahead of tonight’s opening gig at Heaton Park. After outcry over the prices of a pint at the Principality Stadium, drinks prices are going to be far lower for the second set of gigs.
Liam and Noel Gallagher are back in their hometown ready to perform the first of five gigs at Heaton Park. They will perform there on Friday, July 11 and Saturday, July 12.
They will then return to perform there on Wednesday, July 16, Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20. It follows their historic first gigs on stage together in 16 years at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
And those attending the outdoor gigs will have to fork out less money at the bar than those who attended their gigs in the Welsh capital. A pint of lager and cider is priced at £6.50 for those attending Heaton Park shows.
This is a marked difference from the Cardiff shows, where a pint of beer was priced at £8.20 and a half £4.10.
It wasn’t the only place that fans were stung over drinks prices in Cardiff, as fans voiced their discontent after nearby Wetherspoons establishments, which implemented a price surge at three of its pubs in the centre of the city.
Despite the inflated prices, for drinks as well as tickets, fans filtering out of the Principality Stadium gave glowing reviews to our reporters, describing it as “the best gig ever”, “ten out of ten” and “worth every penny.”
Others described it as “absolutely amazing” and “an emotional, out of body experience.”
The media also lauded the return of the band, with publications across the world united in its assessments to give the gig five stars.
This included WalesOnline’s Kathryn Williams who described Liam’s voice as “faultless.” The city was abuzz with Oasis fever for an entire weekend, with merchandise stores, an exhibition of priceless items displayed and its music pumping out of most pubs.
Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year.
However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot.
Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go can sell their seats, although these tend to go in and out of stock quickly.
Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub, and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.
