Prices in some hotels in cities across the UK where Oasis are playing next year have almost quadrupled.
The Gallagher brothers have finally reunited and are set to perform from July 4 to August 17 across cities in the UK and Ireland.
This includes at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Heaton Park in Manchester, Wembley in London, Murrayfield in Edinburgh and Croke Park in Dublin.
But people booking into Maldron Hotel in Manchester are less than impressed and reported across social media that their rooms were cancelled and are now back up for three times the price.
This includes Euros Rees, 42, from Leeds, who was initially very excited to see Oasis in Manchester on July 20, 2025.
He told Metro: ‘Having been a lifelong Oasis fan who saw them live twice before they split, I was tremendously excited by the rumoured announcement yesterday morning.
‘As the announcement was at 8am I made sure I was logged into booking.com early on, as it was clear that there would be a huge rush for hotel rooms on the nights they’d be playing.
‘I booked two rooms for four people at the Maldron Hotel in Manchester for £179 for one night on Sunday 20th July 2025, which I thought was a great deal, I also received a confirmation email.
‘I was beyond disappointed to receive the cancellation email which explained how “technical issues” had resulted in me receiving a confirmation email for a “booking that wasn’t successfully made”, especially after looking on social media and seeing that they had done this to others too.
‘It would mean the world to me and my friends to see Oasis live again, we thought the first hurdle of having a place to stay was sorted, but now we are faced with paying upwards of £900 for a room.’
Others have had similar issues including X user Cara posted: ‘WARNING! Booked Maldron Hotel Manchester yesterday for 12th July 2025 – which was confirmed-just received this message cancelling our room! No rooms left and other hotel rooms triple the price!! Outrageous customer service!’
The message sent back to her reads: ‘We are writing to inform you of an issue with your booking at Maldron Hotel Manchester City Centre. Due to a technical error, you have received confirmation for a booking that was not successfully made. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate your booking at this time.
‘We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
‘Our system will send a cancellation request, which we ask you to accept promptly. Please rest assured that no charges will be applied to your payment card.’
Other people on X reported receiving the same message after they had booked rooms for the concert.
Pelirroja Peligrosa posted: ‘Exactly the same and we were booked for 20th July.’
And Sol Roper added: ‘Yep I’m one of them and now price has more than trebled.’
Sacha Lord, the night time economy adviser for Greater Manchester, urged the hotel company to do the right thing.
He tweeted: ‘I’m being contacted by several people who booked your hotel for the Oasis concert, to say their rooms have just been cancelled and are now back up for three times the price.
‘I’m sure this is a “computer error”… easy to correct.
‘Do the right thing.’
It is not just Manchester where people are reporting extortionate prices.
A room at the voco St. David’s Hotel in Cardiff will cost you a whopping £676 a night when the Gallagher brothers are in town.
The week previously it costs £181 – an increase of almost £500.
Meanwhile, the Holiday Inn Express in Edinburgh a week before the gigs costs £319 a night.
While rooms have now sold out at the hotel, a music fan posted a screenshot showing that rooms in the hotel were selling for £1,299 for two nights.
Oasis announced their highly anticipated UK and Ireland tour, their first gigs in 16 years yesterday.
Noel and Liam Gallagher, who have put their long-running feud aside, will kick off their Oasis Live 25 tour with dates in Manchester and London, as well as Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Dublin next summer.
The famous brothers are expected to pull in a whopping £400,000,000 in earning potential reported from the reunion.
Dalata Hotel Group, which owns Maldron Hotels, has been contacted for comment and IHG, which owns both the voco St David’s Hotel and Holiday Inn Express has also been contacted for comment.
