Radio presenter Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald has revealed the eye-watering sum he spent on tickets to Oasis' long-awaited 2025 reunion tour.
Aussie fans were delighted when Noel and Liam Gallagher confirmed they would travel Down Under to perform concerts for the first time in 19 years.
The Manchester brothers will perform five much-loved shows in Sydney and Melbourne in October and November 2025.
However, 170,000 Australians snapped up tickets in Monday's pre-match sale, with another 100,000 sold in Tuesday's general sale.
Many fans were left empty-handed as four shows sold out within 90 minutes of going on public sale, with an additional Melbourne date yet to sell out.
Radio host Fitzy was one of the lucky ones who managed to get tickets, but he admits his luck came with a hefty price tag.
Kate Richie talks to Noah's Fitzy & Whippa on Tuesday's show, admitting she paid her friends $2,640 in advance tickets.
'This is my Taylor Swift moment,' the former Big Brother star declared, referring to the frenzy surrounding the Shake It Off hitmaker's Australian tour in February.
Radio presenter Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald has revealed the eye-watering sum he spent on tickets to Oasis' long-awaited 2025 reunion tour.
Overjoyed to be able to snag some of the most popular tickets in town, he explained: 'I tried to get Oasis tickets, guys, and they were safe.
'I had to get the presale ballot and then went to the reservation yesterday. But yeah… not cheap.'
He revealed that he bought eight tickets in presale and spent $330 per ticket for him and his friends to see the anticipated gig.
Despite the massive price tag, Fitzi said tickets are not in the prime, but usually in the back of the standing area.
He said, 'I don't want to stand a little away from the stage.'
Noel and Liam Gallagher entertained the Aussie fans
Looking for a silver lining, co-host Kate Ritchie chimed in: 'Well, you're good because you're so tall.'
Demand for the gigs is already high, with scores of fans braving presale queues on Monday afternoon in an attempt to get tickets.
Oasis were originally scheduled to play four shows in Australia, but added another tour date on Tuesday after all shows sold out within 90 minutes of going on general sale.
Fans left empty handed are last chance to get tickets to see Noel, 57. Liam52, November 4th, 2025 show.
Tickets for the additional Melbourne show go on general sale on October 18 at 12am on Ticketmaster.
Sharing the news on social media, the band wrote: 'Due to overwhelming demand, a third and final Melbourne date has been added on Tuesday 4th 2025.
'If you don't win the pre-sale ticket poll, you might get another chance! Public sale Friday 18th October.'

Fans have already bemoaned the cost of the much-loved concerts, with general admission reportedly costing up to $300 each.
Responding to allegations of price gouging, LiveNation chairman Koppel asserted that price gouging is as common as any other sector amid a cost-of-living crisis.
He said: 'The average ticket price for a live show in Australia in 2004 was $75. The average price last year was $128. The reality is, haven't prices quadrupled in 20 years?'
'There are six out of 2,700 live venues in Australia. We are a really small ticket company. Ticketmaster is a smaller ticketing company than Ticketek in this market,' he added.
