Oasis fans face frustration as ticket websites go down saying 'service unavailable'

FANS in Scotland are facing frustration as Oasis ticket-selling websites are experiencing issues on Saturday morning as the band’s reunion tour goes on general sale.

Oasis fans had difficulties getting onto the website Gigsinscotland.com for the Edinburgh shows this morning as the website appeared to be down showing a “service unavailable” code.

The website tickets.seetickets.com/tour/oasis, where you can book for several UK shows, also appeared to be unavailable sharing a similar message.

It said: “Our website is very busy! We have lots of people looking for tickets and you are being held on this page until a space becomes available.

“This page will refresh automatically.”

UK tickets went on general sale at 8am through Gigs and Tours, ticketmaster.co.uk, gigsinscotland.com and seetickets.com.

Manchester-based promoter SJM Concerts’ website Gigs and Tours is facing similar problems as it has been unable to load since around 8.10am.

It displayed messages saying: “service unavailable” and “the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later”.

Similar issues were encountered on the ticketmaster.ie page for the two shows at Dublin Croke Park shows, which went on sale at 8am.

Instead of a page opening to buy tickets, an error number was displayed, which usually indicates a web page is unable to handle any more connections.
