Ms Boorer, a teaching assistant in Liverpool, said: “I’ve seen Liam and Noel separately a few times and met Noel a week before they broke up in 2009, and both our dads played Oasis growing up so we’ve both been waiting for this day a long time and we’re ecstatic to be going to Manchester to see them. “Me and my friend both signed up for the presale ballot, she got a code and was in the queue from 6.30pm and she managed to get the tickets around 7.

15pm. “We were both over the moon. “I think for everybody Oasis is a nostalgic feeling.

“Whether you’re someone who was around for the start of Oasis or someone who had Oasis as the soundtrack to their childhood, most people have something they associate Oasis to. “I’d like to think this means they will make more music but I’m just happy with being able to see them perform live if they’re only coming back for this tour.” READ MORE: Oasis release statement as pre-sale tickets listed for more .
