Oasis Fans Start To Queue For Tickets

"Mad for it" Oasis fans have started queuing for tickets to see next year's first-ever Stadium of Light concert, almost 48 hours before they're due to go on sale!

A limited number of tickets will be available from the club's ticket office when the doors open at 10am on Friday.

Pals Phillip Young and Chris McGowan, both huge Sunderland supporters as well as big Oasis fans, have made sure they're getting their tickets for next June's Wearside gig, which promises to massively popular.

"We've missed out on getting tickets before, we're not taking any chances!" said 25-year-old Phillip (pictured left), of Hylton Castle.

"I've tried getting tickets for Oasis at gigs up and down the country, without any luck, and I wouldn't miss this one for the world."

Chris, 22, also of Hylton Castle in Sunderland, couldn't believe his ears when he heard about the Oasis concert last week.

"I thought it was a wind-up at first," he said. "But then I knew it was true I was over the moon, there was no way I was missing out this time!"

Despite temperatures of around 8° Celsius overnight, Phillip and Chris are well prepared for two consecutive nights outside - they're well-equipped with a tent, sleeping bags, chairs, food and flasks of hot drinks.

The pair will have queued for 45 hours by the time Sunderland's ticket office doors open on Friday!

Oasis, who have sold more than 50 million record worldwide, will be supported by Kasabian and The Enemy in what promises to be a great night on Wednesday June 10, with all tickets going on sale from 10am on Friday.

The concert promoter would like to advise those purchasing tickets that they will receive an official voucher in the first instance which they will then need to exchange for a guaranteed ticket at a later date, once the actual concert tickets are forwarded to the club by the promoter.
