Oasis superfan gifted ‘Morning Glory’ gold disc by Liam Gallagher offers to return it for reunion ticket

An Oasis superfan who was gifted a special ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?’ gold disc by Liam Gallagher has offered to return it in exchange for tickets to the band’s reunion tour.

The Britpop legends announced a 17-date run of comeback shows in the UK and Ireland last week, dubbed Oasis Live ’25.

The trek will see reconciled brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher perform on stage together for the first time in 16 years, and is expected to gross a staggering £400million.

But as tickets went on sale this weekend, hundreds of thousands of fans were left disappointed when all dates sold out by 7pm after hours-long Ticketmaster queues.

Oasis fan Anthony Lanni from Stevenage was among those to miss out on the tickets, and has offered to exchange a prized piece of Oasis memorabilia to be in with a chance of securing tickets.

According to The Comet, the music fan was just 15 back in 1996 when he and a group of friends discovered Liam Gallagher’s address, before visiting his home in St John’s Wood, London.

“We went round there and knocked on the door. He appeared at the window and looked really annoyed,” Lanni told the newspaper.

“He was gesticulating with his hands and then we realised he was asking us for a cigarette. He then came to the door and spoke to us.”

Lanni revealed that he decided to be “cheeky” and ask the frontman for one of the gold or platinum discs he had displayed in his hallway.

“I thought he was just going to let me look at it, then he said, ‘If you don’t ask, you don’t get’. I just couldn’t believe it.”

Liam handed over a disc awarded to the band for selling 110,000 copies of their second studio album in Ireland.

When the music fan rushed to the shop to wrap the framed disc in newspaper, he was promptly called back to the Oasis frontman’s house.

“Someone came running into the shop and said ‘Liam wants you to go back to the house’,” he recalled.

“I went back, knocked on the door and he let me into the house. He sat me down and said, ‘Look, I’ve done this nice thing for you, don’t go selling it’. I promised him I wouldn’t and I still have it to this day.”

Lanni will be turning 44 on July 30 when Oasis play Wembley stadium, and has now proposed to swap the disc nearly three decades later in exchange for tickets to a reunion show.

“My friends and I were really annoyed that we didn’t get tickets at the weekend because we are the original Oasis fans,” he said.

“I thought it might be fun to give the disc back to Liam and get tickets in exchange.”

He added that being able to go to the tour would mean “absolutely everything to me”.

Lanni was far from the only fan who struggled to get their hands on Oasis tickets.

Even before the sale commenced at 9am on Saturday (August 31), Ticketmaster crashed and fans had to contend with hours-long queues to contend. Many also complained about being kicked out of the queue after hours of waiting due to being mistaken for bots.

Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing system also caused much controversy among fans, as ticket prices increased in response to demand.

According to experts, not warning fans prior to the sale may have been a breach of consumer law, and Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has also called for a review into dynamic pricing and secondary ticket sites.
