The last time Oasis toured Australia, Michael Hartt saw them five times – once in Brisbane and twice in both Sydney and Melbourne. That was 2005. Almost 20 years later, he’s 40 years old and has tickets to their first Sydney show. He is trying to get more.

“I bought (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? on tape from Kmart in Wollongong. I can visualise it. I can still see that. I was a fan from then,” says Mr Hartt, who is a very big Oasis fan. “I saw them nine times before they split up.”
