Almost immediately after Oasis announced two dates in Dublin for mid-August next year, hotel prices in the city began to rise.

On Tuesday afternoon, the accommodation reservation website booking.com warned that 96 percent of the available rooms in the city were fully booked on the weekend in question and that some hotels were charging hundreds of euros for the most basic overnight accommodation.

It is not yet clear how much the concert attendance will cost fans. At the time of writing, details on ticket prices were not yet available and many hotels have not yet announced their prices and availability for 2025.

While a countdown has already started on the Ticketmaster site, a spokesperson told the Irish Times that concert promoter MCD had not yet informed the broadcaster how much the tickets would cost.

However, if one follows the models that are also common with other acts, there will probably be a tiered structure and many tickets will be sold for well over 300 euros.

This Thursday marks the 30th anniversary of the release of their debut album, “Definitely Maybe,” and in 2025 their second album (What’s The Story) “Morning Glory?” will reach the same anniversary.

MCD Productions said plans are underway to extend the Oasis Live ’25 tour outside of Europe later next year.

The dates announced so far include Cardiff Principality Stadium on July 4 and 5, Manchester Heaton Park on July 11, 12, 19 and 20, London Wembley Stadium on July 25, 26 and August 2 and 3, and Edinburgh Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on August 8 and 9.

As was the case when Taylor Swift and Coldplay announced their 2024 Dublin concerts in mid-2023, hotel prices have skyrocketed, with guests seeking to stay in three- and four-star hotels in the city on Saturday 16 August being charged over €400 in many cases.

The exorbitant prices have prompted the band’s fans to take to social media to complain about the latest case of restaurants jacking up their prices to profit from high-demand events.

Eoghan O’Meara Walsh of the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation (ITIC) said that while the basic laws of supply and demand would apply to both hotel rooms and flights in and out of the country, despite it being peak season, it was too early to say what impact the Gallagher brothers’ first joint stage appearance in many years would have on their fans’ wallets.

“Sometimes you hear about hotel prices being inflated, but that’s the case for a minority of hotels,” he said. “Many hotels don’t have 2025 prices online yet, so it’s too early to get an idea of ​​what prices will be next August, and there will be extra inventory,” he said.

However, he pointed out that demand will exceed supply. “The band is playing in Croke Park, so there will be 80,000 people there every night and around 20,000 hotel rooms in Dublin will be occupied, with many of those rooms probably being sold to tourists who are not coming to the concerts,” he said.

“If the tourism season next summer is not so great, there will be offers, but ultimately it will come down to supply and demand.”
