“It’s maybe the fame, it’s forgotten your name” – Noel Gallagher.
The amount of fake news in the media the last few months or so about Oasis and their ticket sales has been laughable for most of us hardcore, real, genuine fans! Oasis ran undoubtedly one of the fairest systems imaginable for such a reunion! Loyal fans were given priority! I got my tickets of course and so did my mates that were there in the 1990s and the reason is simple – Oasis, the band, their media team are aware who their loyal hardcore fans are!
They know who we are as they have an extensive database, a database that I joined in 1994!
Yes, loyal fans joined the Oasis database in 1994. I bet these bandwagon jumpers and media gimps didn’t know that! Here are the six obvious reasons why all real Oasis fans were given priority…
“We know just what we are” – Noel Gallagher.
How I Got Oasis🎸🎙️⚫⚪Tickets In 2024 For Dublin🇮🇪On The Reunion Tour: Loyal Fans
1.I Joined The Oasis Fanclub in 1994
I first joined the Oasis fanclub in 1994 by posting the white postcard inside the sleeve of the Cigarettes And Alcohol single. Millions of us joined that – millions! Oasis debut album Definitely Maybe was the fastest selling debut album in the UK.
We all joined the Oasis Mailing list by posting this in the mid-1990s
For many like me, we posted the above postcard in the 1990s and joined the mailing list and fanclub, I was even sent the copy of the first ever official Oasis fanclub magazine in 1996, a second issue was never even produced! Here was the postal address –
Official Oasis Information Network
3 Alveston Place
Leamington Spa
Warwickshire
England
CV32 4SN
United Kingdom
By the end of the 1990s, Oasis had posted me about 15 postcards or envelopes advertising new singles, CDs, DVDs, gigs and merchandise.
2.I bought every official Oasis album on single, and the mailing list will know it for the limited edition releases.
As well as being on the Oasis mailing list, Oasis will know I bought loads of their singles in the 1990s, some had to be ordered by posting a postcard back (Be Here Now, for example). I was there then.
Oasis – Be Here Now
3.I have been to 14 Oasis gigs and Oasis Mailing List know that!
As well as being on the Oasis mailing list, Oasis will know I went to a load of Oasis concerts – I used my real name to order all those tickets, some of them through the mailing list clicks once it became an emailing list (around SOTSOG time in 2000).

4.I have ordered over 10 different Oasis Mailing List CD/DVD/Vinyls
I have many of the limited edition box sets, DVDs, CDs and vinyls, all ordered through the fanc club and mailing list. There will be a record of that on their system. I don’t imagine many people have the fan club only magazine, DVD boxes of Don’t Believe The Truth or Heathen Chemistry.

5.I have ordered official merchandise from Oasis since the 1990s
I’ve also ordered fleeces, t-shirts and other Oasis items from the mailing list in the last 30 years.

6.Even after Oasis split, I still bought re-issues such as Knebworth and Definitely Maybe
Again these orders were done through the exact same username and mailinglist from 1994. I ordered Knebworth in 2021 when it was released.

So this year, having been on their email mailing list for 24 years, I was one of many to receive the LOYAL FANS email.
That email gave me exclusive priority access to buy Oasis tickets a night before the newer, less hardcore fans. Stop gurnin yer bake out.
See you all at the Oasis Reunion in 2025!!
D’You Know What I Mean? Yeah Yeah!
