I’m owed FREE Oasis ticket after ‘promise’ when last gig was cancelled – I don’t care that they’re being flogged for £7k

OASIS should honour tickets from one of their last “disaster” gigs on their new tour after “promising” they’d good for another show, a fan has claimed.

Damian Crilly, 35, said he hopes his £38.30 standing pass at Heaton Park, Manchester from 2009 will gain him entrance to a 2025 gig – which are selling on resale sites for up to £7,000.

He claims: “I remember them saying we could use the tickets the next time they played.

“I want to cash mine in now.”

He said he was part of the millions in the Ticketmaster queues who wanted to buy tickets legitimately.

But it was uncle, Gareth Crilly, who is now unable to walk easily, who reminded him of the alleged deal the Gallagher brothers made 15 years ago.

Supposedly, at the time, many Oasis fans took up Noel’s offer of a refund.

Almost 20,000 refunds were sent out – in the form of a cheque emblazoned with the ‘Bank of Burnage’.

Although the cheques also featured the Oasis logo, they were legal tender and it is thought more than 90 per cent of them were cashed.

Others opted to keep hold of their unique cheques signed by the band as a collector’s item.

On June 4 2009, the first of three nights at Heaton Park saw support act The Enemy drop out due to food poisoning.

Playing in front of 70,000 fans, they were nearing the end of Rock ‘n’ Roll Star when the sound system cut out.

When they launched into Lyla a couple of minutes later, two huge screens went blank as plumes of smoke rose from behind the stage.

The band left and did not return until 45 minutes later.

Noel apologised, blaming it on the electrical generator, and said, “This is a free gig from now on”

He later joked: “The generator blew up and they had to go and borrow one from the Argos in Manchester.”

The concert ended 15 minutes after the official 11pm finishing time.

The Sun has contacted Liam and Noel Gallagher’s representatives for a comment.

This comes after livid fans hit out after the rush for reunion tickets turned into a costly chaos.

After queueing for 11 hours, millions of fans were kicked out of the line before they had the chance to nab themselves a ticket.

Others saw prices surge “Uber-style” due to the high demand – meaning £150 tickets escalated to £495.

Desperate fans hope that if more gigs are scheduled, they might get the chance to see the iconic Gallagher brothers.

The Sun understands one solution being considered is another six dates at Wembley later next year.
