Oasis fans to be charged jaw-dropping price for pint to toast Liam and Noel's reunion

The shocking price of a pint for the Oasistour kicking off in Cardiff has been revealed - with fans expected to spend a fortune on cigarettes and alcohol over the weekend.

Based on the prices at the Principality Stadium at recent gigs and rugby matches, Oasis fans will shell out a whopping £7.80 for a pint of lager when the long-awaited tour kicks off tonight and on the second night on Saturday.

Or they can opt for a four-pint jug for £31 when Noel and Liam play two nights at the venue in the Welsh capital – which will make each pint just 5p cheaper. 

There are pubs around the stadium which will offer cheaper drinks before fans head inside when gates open at 5pm.

The Prince Of Wales is a Weatherspoon’s pub within walking distance of the stadium. There is also a row of bars opposite Gate 4 of the venue which includes a Brewdog pub and Queens Vaults which both have high ratings on Google.

Some fans have been queuing to go into see Oasis overnight, and they have been rewarded with ticket upgrades to VIP status.

They had their tickets checked earlier and will now have to wait until 5pm before they are allowed in. Once inside support act Cast will play first at 6pm following by Richard Ashcroft at 7pm and Oasis taking to the stage at 8.15pm.

Oasis fans have been forecasted to buy 8,667,600 pints during the tour, with 2,219,458 of those pints getting chucked in the air in celebration.

The Oasis reunion was initially so secret that Liam and Noel told just eight people, with friends and family not in the loop.

That all changed with the announcement of the tour in August last year. The pair posed for several photos together confirming the band's long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying: "The great wait is over." Ticket sales then led to chaos as millions of fans around the world scrambled to get them.

The band will finally take to the stage tonight, having split in August 2009. In a video to promote the comeback last year, Liam was heard saying: "When we both come together, you have greatness."

Noel then says: "I know my brother better than anybody else. This is it, this is happening."
