On August 27, Oasis announced a world tour, marking the end of a 15-year family dispute between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher.

This reunion created a ticket rush, causing many fans to miss out on purchasing tickets from official websites and have to seek opportunities from unofficial sources.

According to a report by Lloyds Bank (UK), since Oasis announced their reunion at the end of August, about 70% of the fraud reports the bank received were related to Oasis concert ticket purchases.

Oasis fans are being targeted by a spate of ticket scams on social media, as the Manchester rock icons prepare to return to the stage after last performing together in 2009, Lloyds Bank said.

Lloyds analysis of fraud targeting its customers shows there were hundreds of ticket scams in the first month after the re-unification announcement.

Oasis fans were victims in around 70% of all ticket scams reported since August 27.

Victims lost an average of £346 ($449) and in some cases as much as £1,000.

Oasis have also warned that tickets purchased from resale sites will not be valid at their shows, adding to the anxiety of fans worried about buying fake tickets from unreliable sources.
