Seventy-seven percent of Oasis fans want a refund for the band's gig at Manchester' Heaton Park last night, which was tarnished by sound problems.
The band have promised to reimburse fans who weren't satisfied with the concert after sound problems caused their set to be delayed by 50 minutes.
Guitarist Noel Gallagher said: “Thank you very very much, this is a free gig - let's fucking have it! Anybody who has kept their ticket will get a full refund."
A Gigwise survey, which received 1175 votes, found 77% of fans said they planned to claim for a refund, while 23% were satisfied with the band's performance.
If each fan was to claim for a refund for their £45 ticket, the concert would cost Oasis £3million.
Meanwhile, fans have contacted Gigwise throughout the day to offer their feedback on the show, which marked the opening night of Oasis' UK tour.
A number of fans have claimed the concert was spoiled, not by sound problems, but fights that broke out within the crowd.
Harry the Goat said: “We walked out as fights were breaking out in the crowds, so yes 45 quid so I can then go on Sunday and watch them again please.”
Mags found the atmosphere within the crowd “scary [and] sinister”, while Crag said: “Was really good but like on the other post some idiots are pricks throwing urine and fighting.”
Oasis are due to perform at Heaton Park tomorrow and Sunday, before the tour continues at stadium venues across the country.
What did you think of last night's performance? Were you left angry by the sound problems? Did you see fights within the crowd? Post your response below.

- I really didn't see a problem with the gig!! Thought that the fighting would spoil anyones night, but when you have crowds of over 70,000+ and then have the small delay, then its bound to happen which is a shame!! Think if people claim back it will be harsh on what was a good event overall!!
- All the people who couldn't sell their tickets on ebay will be laughing. Unfortunately, I flogged my two for £22 as I was unable to go, what a complete p***er, now the person who bought them will get £90 back!
- Omgg thank god I booked tuu go tmorra nyt. x
- Fabulous gig,amazing set!However the lack of police presence was scary.We were 3 young woman at the back of the crowd and were witnesses to numerous fights and not once did anyone intervene.They then allowed 70,000 people out the same exit onto chaos of roads.We had a pre ordered taxi and it still took an hour to find him! The lads were amazing, although the police absence really let the night down! Good job though Oasis!!Was worth the wait!!hope the weather holds out for the weekend!!Enjoy!
- what an Awesome gig it was and who cares about the power cuts they didnt dissapoint when it was back on happy days, im going 2 c them again on weds cant wait...
