ALEX Jones made a huge dig at Oasis on The One Show this evening, admitting she ‘wasn’t bothered’ about buying tickets for their reunion tour.
Manchester lads Liam, 51, and Noel Gallagher, 57, delighted fans globally as they revealed the 17-date domestic leg of their Oasis Live 25 tour late last month.
But, during the BBC show’s latest installment, 47-year-old Alex confessed she’s not interested in attending the shows.
It was when Matt Allwright introduced a Watchdog segment about the band hitting back at extortionate resale prices that she made the admission.
Alex said: “Well, controversially I,” before trailing off.
Matt soon interrupted, asking: “Wasn’t bothered?” to which she replied: “No,” shaking her head.
Her co-host, Clara Amfo, didn’t seem to be fussed either, adding: “And I am not in possession of any Oasis tickets.”
It came just moments after Oasis announced two new London concerts, confirming The Sun‘s exclusive story that they will play in the capital on 27 and 28 September.
The band wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “UK. Two extra Wembley Stadium shows have been added due to phenomenal demand.
“Tickets will be sold by a staggered, invitation-only ballot process. Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many UK fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on sale with Ticketmaster. More details to follow.”
Insiders told how Liam and Noel had called on their teams to try to put a new ticketing system in place after a huge backlash over Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing – which saw tickets for their 17-date reunion double in price after just a few hours.
The two gigs on September 27 and 28 will be sold using a staggered ballot, giving fans a fairer chance of getting tickets.
Over 10million fans from 158 countries attempted to buy them the first time around.
Applications to join the ballot will be open to fans who were unsuccessful the first time around.
Our insider added: “Noel and Liam understand people are upset and they want to make it as fair as possible.
“Naturally people will be disappointed and they are doing everything they can to temper that.”
Over seven million people tried to get their hands on tickets on Saturday.
The Sun reported last week that Noel and Liam were keen to put on more shows to satisfy demand.
A source told The Sun earlier today: “As soon as the 17 dates sold out Noel and Liam said they wanted to put on more concerts.
“They will announce two more Wembley shows – and are hoping to work out dates for even more shows.
“They were stunned by the demand for tickets and want to give back to their fans as much as they can.”
The brothers, who put aside their 15-year feud to reform Oasis for their fans, are now speaking with their teams about how to change the ticket pricing.
Ticketmaster came under fire from fans after enforcing their dynamic ticketing strategy – which sees the price of tickets rise in line with demand.
The system, which was introduced in 2022, meant that tickets were being sold for £355 within hours of going on sale.
Noel and Liam have come under fire from fans because of the pricing system – with Liam being branded a hypocrite after an old tweet he wrote about Noel’s 2017 High Flying Birds tour resurfacing online.
The tweet read: “350 dollars to go and see rkid in USA what a c*** when will it all stop as you were LG x.”
Those close to the band said Noel and Liam wanted a fairer system in place for their fans.
A source added: “Liam is getting the brunt of the backlash and is being called out by fans.
“Noel and Liam have discussed what has happened and have asked their teams to see if they can change the Ticketmaster policy.
“They want to look after their fans and get as many of them to their concerts as they can – for the price they marketed the tickets at.
“They have been cracking down on touts and want to make sure people aren’t being ripped off.”

PM Sir Keir Starmer said the ticket system needed shaking up.
He said: “This is really important because this isn’t just an Oasis problem.
“We’ll make sure tickets are available at a price people can afford.”
