Wonder-Wail For Some Oasis Fans















Hundreds of Oasis fans were left disappointed after 3,400 tickets to see the rock giants at Bridlington Spa were snapped up within minutes.

Tickets for the August 20 concert sold out almost instantly over the internet yesterday, with sales hotlines jammed throughout the morning.

Dozens of fans camped outside the venue on Tuesday night in a bid to get hold of tickets for next month's gig when they went on sale at the box office at 10am.

First in the queue were sisters Lauren, 21, and 19-year-old Abbie Jamieson, of Westgate, Bridlington, who settled in their spot outside the Spa main entrance at 3pm on Tuesday.

Lauren said: "It's definitely worth it. The atmosphere will be great as it's such a small venue for Oasis. I just can't wait"

Their friend Charlotte Taylor, 21 of Flamborough, also camped overnight and said the atmosphere in the queue was fantastic.

She said: "A lad had a guitar and there were lots of sing-alongs – all Oasis songs obviously!"

But many fans were left empty-handed when the Spa began turning away fans shortly after 11am, despite them queuing for hours.

Richard Smith, of Bridlington, joined the queue at 4am yesterday and was left "gutted" after being turned away empty-handed.

"I was about three metres away from the front when they started telling us they'd sold out. I was absolutely gutted. There were people pushing in all over the place, surely the Spa could've got some security or a ticket-slip system to deal with it," he said.

"They should've given everyone in the queue a numbered ticket or something so that they could hand it over when they got to the box office."
