We are almost there. This weekend marks an occasion in London that hasn’t happened in 16 years: an Oasis show. Wembley Stadium will welcome the band into town to play their first two of seven shows in the capital.
‘Just think of those bar queues! How much do you reckon will be spent on pints?’ we hear you exclaim. There has actually been an estimate to that number already, with disposable drinkware experts Alliance Online crunching the numbers and breaking down just how much fans are expected to splash on pints of lager and cider.
How much are Oasis fans expected to spend on pints at the London gigs
Approximately? 12 million quid. With an average price of around £7.95 for Stella Artois at Wembley Stadium, over 1.5 million pints are expected to be shifted across the seven London shows. This is estimated to be the equivalent of enough liquid to fill almost nine standard swimming pools, 248,500 bucket hats, or over 16,000 car tanks.
Across the entire UK & Ireland tour, fans are expected to buy 2.9 million litres of beer, with shows having already taken place in Cardiff & Manchester, with London, Edinburgh, and Dublin still to come. If nothing else, aside from showing us that music fans love enjoying a bevvie while listening to their favourite tunes, it displays just how much work goes into hospitality from staff employed across the tour, and anyone working the shows is sure to brave their way through some hefty bar queues ahead of listening to Noel and Liam take the wheel.
Oasis play Wembley Stadium on July 25, 26, & 30; August 2 & 3, and September 27 & 28. Almost time to channel your inner Rock ‘n’ Roll Star. This article uses data from a study carried out by Alliance Online.
