Oasis. Marvel Stadium. Melbourne. Halloween weekend. And tickets starting at just $53 (around £25)?! 😱
You heard right. That’s cheaper than a round of pints at Download Festival 🍻
We spotted this beauty on SeatPick, and honestly… we’re still trying to pick our jaws off the floor. But that got us thinking — what if you actually did it? Packed your bags, flew from the UK to Oz, and saw the Gallagher brothers bring the thunder in one of the world’s coolest cities?
Let’s break it down and see just how cheap you could realistically do an Oasis weekend in Melbourne.
✈️ Return Flights to Melbourne – The Long Haul, Baby!
Let’s start with the big one — flights. You’re crossing the entire planet here, so no, it ain’t Ryanair prices. But if you’re savvy…
Cheapest Return Flights (London ⇌ Melbourne)
- 🛫 From: £680 return
- 📆 When: Flying out October 29, returning November 2

🧠 Hack it: Use Skyscanner or Google Flights and book 3–4 months in advance for the best deals. Mid-week departures save cash too!
🎫 Oasis Tickets – CHEAPER THAN A TAKEAWAY

- Seatpick Vetted = No scams here, mun!
You’re sat in the upper tiers, but you’re in the stadium for one of the biggest reunions in rock history. You’ll hear Liam’s snarl and Noel’s guitar ring across Melbourne like it’s 1996 again 😎

🤯 BUT WAIT… It’s STILL Cheaper Than a UK VIP Package?!
Let’s just hammer this home for a sec:
VIP packages for UK Oasis shows (and loads of other stadium gigs) are regularly going for £1,200+ — and that’s just for the ticket, a branded lanyard, maybe a lukewarm buffet, and the privilege of entering a side door with fewer queues.
💬 Meanwhile in Melbourne:
- Full stadium Oasis ticket ✅
- Return flights to Australia ✅
- 4 nights in the city ✅
- Food, beers, and bragging rights ✅
- And it’s STILL cheaper than a UK VIP ticket!
Only in rock ‘n’ roll, mun. You could fly to the other side of the planet, have a better time, and save money. Go figure 🤯🎸✈️
🧳 Tips for the Mad Bastards Thinking About It
- ✅ Book early — the longer you wait, the more expensive those flights
- ✅ Use Revolut or Monzo abroad for no FX fees
- ✅ Take a portable charger — Marvel Stadium will kill your phone
- ✅ Learn the phrase “Good on ya, mate” for ultimate Aussie blending
- ✅ Print your tickets, just in case
🎤 Final Words
This might just be the greatest-value Oasis gig in the world right now. So if you’re dreaming of Melbourne sunshine, Aussie beers, and Liam Gallagher belting out “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star”, you know what to do.
Pack your bucket hat, slap on the sunnies, and say…
“MELBOURNE HERE I BLOODY COME!” 😎🇦🇺
