Pop star has been praised by anti-tout campaigners for cancelling tickets sold via the secondary market. Fans were offered the chance to buy their tickets again at face value and get a refund from the place of purchase.

The MP for Washington and Gateshead South added at an event hosted by Virgin Media O2 that Oasis can afford to have staff monitoring resale sites, which is a substantial but essential task to get tickets cancelled.
New figures show 62% of people using resale platforms do not realise they are buying second-hand tickets. The research also found that resale platforms cost music fans £145million per year.
