Manchester's Maldron Hotels have been accused of canceling pre-booked reservations to profit from the upcoming Oasis reunion tour.

Oasis fan Lily Stroud from Newcastle faced booking cancellations at Maldron Hotel Manchester following the tour announcement.

A spokesperson attributed the cancellations to a 'technical error' causing overbooking.

Greater Manchester's night-time economy adviser, Sacha Lord, received multiple complaints accusing the hotel chain of reselling rooms at higher prices.

Despite this claim, Maldron Hotels promised to honor reservations made before 26 August.

Ticket prices for the tour, announced by the Gallagher brothers, have seemingly influenced hotel room rates, with significant price surges reported during the concert weekends at Heaton Park.

Fans like Emma Cough, David O'Gorman, and George Snape voiced frustrations over the hotel's handling of bookings.

Manchester City Councillor Pat Karney announced an investigation into the hotel's actions, urging fair pricing practices.
