Liam Gallagher has dismissed criticism over the chaos surrounding Oasis' comeback concert tickets in a series of tweets, including telling one fan to "shut up" and another to buy "kneeling tickets".
The singer broke his social media silence shortly after the competition regulator announced it was launching an investigation into Ticketmaster's handling of ticket sales for the band's upcoming tour, including how "dynamic pricing" may have been used to adjust the price.
Initial excitement over the Gallagher brothers' reconciliation quickly gave way to disappointment and anger last weekend after fans complained that prices for 17 concerts were increased without warning, the Guardian reports.
Fans said they waited online for hours only to discover that the prices of standing tickets, which initially cost £135 (€160), had risen to £355 (€420).
"Oasis are back, you're welcome, and I hear their attitude is disgusting, it's good to know some things never change," Liam wrote on the X social network on Friday morning.
When fans hit back at the way the tickets were sold, including one user who said he didn't expect Oasis to rip them off like that, Gallagher replied: "Shut up."
When asked how he was feeling, the 51-year-old singer said he was overjoyed. "I told you all that we will be reunited one fine day," he added.
Liam was also asked how his mother Peggy felt about him and Noel reconciling 15 years after the band broke up. "She was devastated because she couldn't get the ticket," he said. When someone asked him why he didn't give her a free ticket, he replied: "Free? Don't be funny".
A fan asked him if he had any extra tickets, to which he replied: "Plenty, but they're really expensive, £100, just for kneeling".
In an official statement, the band previously said they were unaware that dynamic pricing would be used during sales.
