Why Fans Are Buzzing About Oasis Knebworth Ticket Codes

Last updated: September 26, 2026 (UTC)

Oasis fans on X are comparing notes on ticket codes for the band’s announced Knebworth concerts, with some celebrating secured tickets and others still refreshing their inboxes. The conversation picked up after posts circulating on X said codes had started going out to fans for several dates, prompting a wave of questions about when Knebworth codes would arrive. Alongside the excitement, there is nostalgia for the venue’s history and some pushback over the cost of getting in.

What started it

Much of the current chatter traces back to a post from fan news account @scyhodotcom, which said codes had been sent to fans for Slane, Glasgow and Manchester, and asked whether anyone had received one for Knebworth. The same post noted that a few people also appeared to have received codes for Munich. It has drawn close to 600 likes.

Around the same time, @OasisArchives put the question more bluntly: had anyone received codes for Knebworth? The replies and parallel posts show the order of distribution is itself a talking point. One user wrote that Knebworth “seems to have been 1st and now Manchester,” while saying they had not yet heard of anyone receiving a Glasgow code. Another asked whether anyone had a code for Manchester or Knebworth yet, adding simply, “I’m scared.”

Fans who got in

For those who did get codes, the tone is celebratory. @shiner_sam posted that they had secured tickets for the first night at Knebworth, saying they did not know “whether to laugh or cry or have a panic attack” but were grateful and very excited. @MummyisT shared a confirmation that, according to the post, is for a Knebworth show on Saturday 11 September 2027, with a short “Yeeeeeha” to mark the occasion.

Other fans shared similar moments without being named here. One user described being nervous while waiting in the queue before announcing that “opening night at knebworth is SO ON.” Another posted that they had four front standing tickets, captioned “we are running it back.” One fan said they would be seeing the band at Knebworth on their birthday, and another, who said they are also going to a Glasgow date at Celtic Park, wrote that they would need time to recover before doing it all again at Knebworth.

There was room for jokes too. One user said they might take up skydiving lessons “just incase” they need to fly into Knebworth, while another posted a short, cheeky announcement that a partner was heading there.

Looking back at Knebworth

The venue’s past is part of why the name carries weight in these posts. A widely shared post from @crockpics, an account with more than a million followers, featured a photo it described as Paul McCartney and Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour chatting backstage at Knebworth Park in August 1976. According to the post, the pair were there as spectators at a festival that included Lynyrd Skynyrd, 10cc and headliners The Rolling Stones, in front of what it describes as 150,000 fans. The post invited followers to say which band from that bill they would most want to see with a time machine.

Oasis’s own history with the site also surfaces in fan posts. One user said they were wearing what they described as 1996 Oasis merchandise and playing Knebworth “for luck” ahead of a show they are attending. Another fan who did not receive a code said they were not disheartened, pointing to memories of seeing the band at Poole in 2004 and Wembley Arena in 2008, while acknowledging Knebworth “would have been amazing.”

The price debate

Not everyone is celebrating. One of the most-liked posts in the discussion, with more than 300 likes, argued that £170 a ticket is too much for any gig and accused the band of “fleecing” fans. That same post claims Oasis are doing a very large number of nights at Knebworth and the Etihad, a figure that is not confirmed in the other posts reviewed here and reads as exaggeration for effect.

A second user took a lighter tone on the same theme, saying they had tried the sign-up “gimmick” not expecting to get a code, and now had to spend £170 to see the band at Knebworth. Beyond these two posts, the price criticism is not widespread in the material reviewed, and the £170 figure comes from users’ posts rather than any confirmed price list.

Resale has also entered the conversation. @OasisArchives posted that the first Knebworth tickets were already appearing on a secondary resale site. The post did not include prices or further detail.

What’s unverified and still open

• Ticket prices: The £170 figure and the claim that prices are excessive come from individual users. They should be treated as posters’ accounts and opinions, not a confirmed breakdown of pricing.
• Code distribution: Posts disagree on which dates’ codes went out first, and it is not clear from the discussion whether everyone who signed up for Knebworth has now heard back.
• Resale: Beyond one post noting tickets had appeared on a resale site, the discussion offers no detail on how resale might affect availability or what buyers are being charged.
• Dates and number of shows: Individual fans reference specific nights, including a first night and a September 2027 date, but the posts reviewed do not lay out a full, confirmed schedule.

Why it resonates

The posts show two strands running side by side. For fans who got codes, securing Knebworth tickets is framed as a personal milestone, tied to birthdays, family trips and memories of earlier shows. For others, the wait, the reliance on codes and the cost are sources of frustration. The @crockpics post adds a reminder that Knebworth has been attached to major rock events for decades, which helps explain why the venue name alone is enough to get fans posting.
