She explained that when it comes to Ticketmaster - one of the places you can get Oasis tickets at, as well as Gigs and Tours, and See Tickets - you can have both the website and mobile app open, but make sure they're signed into different accounts. 'If you're on the same account it's just gonna give you the same exact place in the queue so there's not really much point,' she revealed. @kattycarruthers i hope this helps! i’ve got a ticketmaster video pinned at the top of my page too! #oasis #oasisreunion #noelgallagher #liamgallagher #indie #wonderwall #dontlookbackinanger #CapCut @Oasis ♬ Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis Taking to TikTok , @kattycarruthers revealed her advice for getting ahead of the race on August 31 at 9am The social media creator, who has 1, 137 followers - also warned about common mistakes which could risk your place in the line, especially if you're on a desktop.
