They continued: ‘It’s going to be a handful of massive dates in major cities. Brits living in New York and Los Angeles should have a decent chance at getting themselves a ticket.
‘Oasis don’t want a repeat of the issues they had with tickets for their home gigs but they are expecting the same huge demand they saw here.’
MailOnline has contacted Oasis’ representative for comment.
Last week, Liam appeared to confirm that Oasis will take their reunion tour to America in cryptic update.
Despite recent backlash they could now be set to play their biggest-ever US concerts, with Liam hinting at recent rumours on X.
When one fan asked: ‘Liam I know you’re not the biggest fan of us but is Oasis coming to AMERICA?’
He replied: ‘I love America and I know deep down you love ME.’
Reports claimed on Saturday that Liam and Noel had ‘financial incentive’ to expand the tour.
A source told The Mirror: ‘Their promoters at Live Nation are incredibly keen for this to happen, and Liam and Noel have verbally agreed plans. The question of if they will manage to go the duration of the tour without falling out has been raised, but there is now a massive financial incentive for them to keep the show on the road.’

The report claimed the band will play the 70,000 seat SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles as well as other huge venues across the United States.
Billboards in New York’s Times Square appeared to tease US dates.
Electronic messages featured the Amazon Music logo and a picture of the Gallagher brothers with the message: ‘If we need to put up a billboard to get these guys to come to the States, here it is.’
Elsewhere, Oasis and Ticketmaster have faced calls to ‘do the right thing’ and refund fans hit by dynamic pricing by consumer group Which?
The band and ticketing giant have faced the fury of those eager to watch Oasis’s hotly-anticipated tour after the price of standard tickets doubled from £148 to £355.
Ticketmaster said prices were driven up by surging demand and the policy had been agreed with the band’s management, Oasis itself said they were unaware of dynamic pricing would be implemented when tickets initially went on sale.
Since then the Government and the UK’s competition watchdog have pledged to look into the implementation of the policy.
Now Which?, one of Britain’s most well known consumer groups, has called for those who paid more than expected to seal their place at the gigs to have some of their money returned.

Following the controversy, Which? asked Oasis fans to send in screenshots of the ticket-buying and checkout process to see if they were warned that ticket prices could surge due to high levels of demand.
Under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (CPRs), traders must not mislead consumers with how prices are presented or leave out key pricing information that they might need to make an informed decision about their purchase.
Which? said many fans were not informed about the increases until after they had already tried to add cheaper tickets to their baskets.
While the use of ‘dynamic pricing’ was mentioned in the terms and conditions on the website, fans were not warned that this practice would be used for Oasis tickets, the watchdog said.
