Hotel Chain Accused of Cashing in on Oasis Reunion Tour
A hotel chain has come under fire for allegedly trying to profit from the highly anticipated Oasis reunion tour next year. Customers who had made bookings before the tour was officially announced claim that their reservations were cancelled by the hotel chain in an attempt to resell the rooms at inflated prices.
Lily Stroud, a devoted Oasis fan from Newcastle, had reserved rooms at the Maldron Hotel in Manchester in July 2025 after rumors of the band’s return began circulating. However, her bookings were abruptly cancelled after Oasis confirmed their tour dates, with the same rooms now listed as unavailable.
The hotel chain cited a “technical error” for the cancellations, stating that there was an overbooking issue at two of its locations. Despite the explanation, customers like Lily Stroud expressed frustration and disappointment at the situation.
Greater Manchester’s night-time economy adviser, Sacha Lord, confirmed that several people had reached out to him to complain about the hotel chain’s actions. He called on the hotel to “do the right thing” and honor the reservations made before the tour announcement.
As Oasis fans eagerly await the opportunity to see the band perform live, the controversy surrounding the hotel chain’s handling of bookings has left many feeling disillusioned. The hotel has issued an apology and is currently investigating the problem to rectify the situation.
With the reunion tour generating immense excitement among fans, the hotel chain’s alleged attempt to capitalize on the event has sparked outrage and calls for transparency and fairness in the booking process. As the investigation unfolds, customers affected by the cancellations hope for a resolution that upholds integrity and respect for loyal fans.
