Oasis superfan who famously visited Liam Gallagher’s house offers special disc gifted by singer in exchange for reunion tickets

An Oasis superfan from Stevenage has offered to exchange his special disc, a memorabilia given to him by the band's frontman Liam Gallagher, for tickets to the reunion tour. The British band stunned fans when it announced a 2025 reunion tour 16 years after its last performance, with brothers Noel and Liam putting aside their differences, which had caused the band's breakup in 2009.

Anthony Lanni and his friends were just teenagers when they met Liam at his St John’s Wood house in 1995. Lanni recounted his meeting in an interview with The Comet, saying:

“We went round there and knocked on the door. He appeared at the window and looked really annoyed. He was gesticulating with his hands and then we realised he was asking us for a cigarette. He then came to the door and spoke to us.”

Lanni added he decided to extend a "cheeky" request, asking Liam to give him one of the two discs hanging on his wall. The superfan was shocked when the musician removed the (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? disc, signifying the band's milestone of selling 110K copies of the album. Lanni said Liam gave him the disc, saying:

"If you don’t ask, you don’t get."

Lanni added he was on his way to get the disc framed when he was called back to Liam's house, who made him promise never to sell the disc. Anthony Lanni, a 43-year-old father of three, kept his promise all these years. However, he is willing to exchange the disc with Liam for four tickets to any reunion show.

"My friends and I were really annoyed that we didn’t get tickets at the weekend because we are the original Oasis fans. I thought it might be fun to give the disc back to Liam and get tickets in exchange," he said.

He continued that he was devastated at not being able to buy tickets to the tour, adding Oasis was his childhood.

Oasis fans complain about unfair ticket prices and huge queues

Oasis fans were excited after the band announced a reunion tour on August 27, dubbed 'Oasis Live '25.' The band, which initially advertised 14 shows across the UK and Ireland, added three more shows due to demand.

It will play in cities like Dublin, Edinburgh, Cardiff, London, and Manchester between July and August 2025.

However, the ticketing process left much to be desired after fans were shocked that standing tickets had almost tripled in cost due to Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing. This was a strategy that allowed businesses to adjust their pricing in proportion to demand.

The Ticketmaster website also crashed hours before ticket sales opened at 9 am BST on August 31, and many fans were disappointed to be kicked out after waiting for hours after the website mistakenly registered them as bots.

As fans took to social media to express their outrage at the less-than-steller ticket-buying experiences, a spokesperson from Ticketmaster issued a statement that read:

"The queue is moving along as fans buy tickets. As anticipated, millions of fans are accessing our site so have been placed in a queue. Fans are advised to hold their place in line, make sure they're only using one tab, clear cookies, and ensure they aren't using any VPN software on their device."

All venues were quickly sold out by 7 pm that same day. Oasis's first performance is scheduled at Principality Stadium, Cardiff, on July 4, 2025, nearly 31 years after the band released their debut LP Definitely Maybe.
