Oasis reimburse ticket money to 20,000 fans

LONDON - Oasis rockers Liam and Noel Gallagher have sent out refund cheques to 20,000 fans after their last month gig was spoiled by technical problems.
They have signed the slips that reimburse ticket money.
Promoters were horrified when Noel, 42, offered to compensate fans after sound problems disrupted their gig in front of 70,000 fans at Heaton Park, Manchester.
He announced: “This is a free gig. Anybody who has kept their ticket will get a full refund.”
The refunds are accompanied by a letter apologising for the problems at the June 4 show.
However, some of the fans refuse to encash the cheques, insisting they will keep the cheques as collectors’ items.
“They are distinctive, so a few people may decide to keep them,” the Daily Star quoted an Oasis spokesman as saying. (ANI)
