Oasis vs Coldplay in ticket showdown
By Gregory Jones, on 19th August 2008, 12:00 UTC
In the same week that Noel Gallagher labelled Mark Ronson talentless and blasted the music of The Kaiser Chiefs and Scouting For Girls, Oasis officially announced the dates of their UK tour. The 18 date tour gets underway in London on 16th October and closes in Glasgow on 5th November. Tickets go on sale this week and the shows are expected to sell out in record time.
However, it was not only Noel who decided to unleash one of his characteristic outbursts.. Younger brother, Liam, said he thought all of Coldplay's fans were 'boring and ugly'. Coldplay who themselves announced their UK tour in June have sold-out all 16 dates. Tickets are selling for as much as £329 on the secondary market over seven
times face value. Only time will tell if Oasis ticket prices will follow the same trend.
