Liam Gallagher breaks silence after thousands of Oasis tickets are cancelled telling fan ‘get off my case’
Emotions were running high as a fan shared their experience
LIAM Gallagher has spoken out after some Oasis fans were left fuming over ticket cancellations for their huge reunion tour.
In a well-meaning attempt to stamp out the use of "bots" to buy tickets, Ticketmaster cancelled up to 50,000 of them which it deemed suspicious, however, some ordinary fans have been punished in the process.

Now Liam, 52, has had his say, but it won't provide any comfort for affected fans.
One fan asked on X: "Liam, what do you think of the ticket situation? Thinking fans are bots and getting their money returned?"
He responded: "I don't make the rules. We're trying to do the right thing. It is what it is. I'm the singer. Get off my case."
In another tweet, Liam doubled down, writing: "I know loads of people that ain’t got tickets even family members and there upset but there not being mean and shouting hurty wurty stuff."

The Manchester band issued a stark warning last year that "thousands of fake tour tickets" had been sold.
Loyal fans had already been hit with strife following the “dynamic pricing” of their reunion tour.
Sales company Ticketmaster came under fire after upping prices in line with huge demand - which brothers Noel and Liam both condemned.
In a further blow, some devastated buyers have now received emails cancelling their tickets and accusing them of being illegal purchasers.

The messages state that Ticketmaster "identified that bots were used to make this purchase."
It then urged customers to fill out a form to try to solve the dispute for entry to the shows, which kick off in July.

One Oasis fan Leighah Conroy, 24, slammed Ticketmaster and told : "To say that we’re bots is totally out of order for Ticketmaster because we tried all day to get the tickets.
"Our heads have been pretty battered these past 24 hours.
"I felt sick in the stomach. It’s a band you’ll never experience or see again and it’s been on my bucket list for years.
"It just feels like my dreams have been completely crushed."
She added: "A lot of fans are wanting answers as to why this has happened, and we’ve just got no answers whatsoever."
Leighah then told of the financial implication of the purchase and said the ticket, accommodation and travel for the gig had amounted to around £400.
A spokesperson from Ticketmaster told ITV: “Anyone who has been contacted and believes a refund was made in error has been sent a form to fill in for the tour’s promoters to review.”
