Oasis reunion tour: Ticket prices, Levi's and how much the band is going to make

Not that Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher were hurting for money before, but if they needed an uptick in income, they chose the right way to do it. The brothers Gallagher of Oasis announced earlier this week they would be doing a regional tour - regional to the UK and Ireland currently - in the summer of 2025. According to The Sun, the band is going to make a lot of money from the tour.

The Sun guesses that Oasis could pull in as much as $65,890,000 (50 million pounds) for each show. That means if the group sticks at its current run of 17 gigs, Oasis would make $1,120,130,000 (849,870,634 pounds). Of course, they cannot keep all that. They have to pay for the venue and crew and taxes. Still, that is a lot of money.

Oasis could be in to make even more. There have been several reports that the group has been asked by various streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, to make a movie of the reunion tour. That would likely bring in another tens of millions, if not more. A documentary being made seems like a no-brainer at this point as fellow Britpop greats Blur did that with a doc of their recent Wembley shows.

How much is Oasis making from their reunion tour?

But the Gallaghers are not done making money. Levi's released a new collection of Oasis T-shirts on the day the tour was announced. The shirts feature various logos, including a Maine Road football pitch, the Decca Logo, and a Union Jack logo. The shirts retail for $40 and one can assume the band was paid well for them to OK the making of the shirts.

At least, the band is gouging fans with ticket prices. They are not cheap, of course, but they are not Taylor Swift expensive either. Tickets for the shows begin at around $98 (74.25 pounds). Sure, one could pay more if they like - a ticket for the pre-show party at Wembley costs $668 (506.25 pounds), for example - but one doesn't have to get a new mortgage to afford an Oasis ticket.

The positive part of all of this is that the boys are back. At least, for a short time.
