Oasis Roll Into Town Tonight















Music giants Oasis are ready to rock Bridlington tonight in front of a sell-out crowd at the Spa.

The legendary Mancunian band, famed for anthems including Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger, added the Spa date as a warm up to their appearance at the V festival this weekend.

Hundreds of fans queued for tickets last month, with some even camping overnight, though many left the venue disappointed as tickets were snapped up within minutes.

However, more tickets were quietly released by the Spa this week, much to the suprise of some fans.

Jamie Webber was passing the Spa on Monday when he spotted a queue and was told that more Oasis tickets had been made available.

"It was just pure luck that I was there and managed to get two tickets," said Jamie.

"I do feel sorry for people who queued for hours first time round and got turned away."

Rumours that the Spa had released a further 300 tickets for sale on Monday have been denied by an East Riding of Yorkshire Council spokesman.

He said: "We had a small number of tickets that came back to us through returns which went on sale on Monday."

He explained that it is not unusual for promoters to return a small number of their allocation if extra space is made available either by the sound equipment not taking up as much room as expected or if the band's guest list is shortened.

"The tickets don't come back in a big block so we don't have an exact number of the returns we were able to sell, but it wasn't a massive amount," said the spokesman who added that fans may want to contact the Spa today to see if any further tickets were made available.

Dozens were sold through the online auction website eBay at vastly inflated prices and there were several tickets still available to buy this week over the internet.

Around 3,500 people are expected to enjoy tonight's performance which is a rarity for Oasis who regularly fill football stadiums with tens of thousands of their fans.

The band will be supported by the Detroit Social Club.
