Oasis fans who have fallen victim to ticket scammers have lost £346 each on average, according to high street bank Lloyds, one of the leading financial institutions in the country.

Coronation Street star Tony Maudsley has revealed he was conned out of £600 while trying to buy Oasis tickets. The actor, who plays George Shuttleworth on the ITV soap, said he fell for a resale scam on Facebook.
