Katie Stratford, an Oasis fan, reported that it was the first “night off” she and partner David Hayward had had in three years when she and her family went to see the legendary band in Heaton Park.

A group who splashed out more than £1,000 to see Oasis perform at Heaton Park saw their evening destroyed after a father-of-two was hauled away by security.

On Wednesday, July 16, David Hayward, 29, and his partner, brother, and sister-in-law attended the concert. It was the first “night out” the young parents from Banbury in Oxfordshire had had in three years, according to his partner Katie Stratford.

Before security “seized” David and led him away, they savored the opening half-hour of the Oasis reunion concert, according to Katie. The 29-year-old dog groomer claimed that David was later alleged to have engaged in an altercation after conducting a drug search.

However, Katie maintains that security turned down her request for information and gave no information. Lewis Burnage, an Oasis fan, was mistakenly ejected from the episode on the same evening that security ejected him from Wakefield.

We were just dancing because we had been waiting for this moment for a long time, Katie said. Nine to ten men then crossed over and snuck up David. Nobody was aware of anything. They were completely uninterested.

We are all parents, they say. Our first night off in three years is tonight. Everything was completely absurd. We worked together. We had a great time. They began to yell at us and say that we were p***ing them off.

We merely desired to return to the moment. They simply couldn’t be any help to me. Never have I attended a gathering that was so repulsive in my entire life. They were “vile.”

After security had him thrown away, Katie continued, “David’s brother is still alive,” and she had to run over to the bar to find him. When David found him in a sectioned-off area, he informed her that no drugs had been discovered.

He was later charged with engaging in a brawl, and security informed him that they were weighing his options when he was arrested or taken away.

Katie contacted the police for assistance, but it was unsuccessful. She was informed that David could not attend the event again.

However, her sister-in-law was using her mobile phone, which made her unsure of where the rest of their party was. Katie claims that the organization spent more than £1, 000 on lodging, food, and travel expenses as well as paying for child care, dog sitting, and travel.

The couples, who are primarily self-employed, also took two days off, while Katie’s parents took time off to look after the kids.

She continued, “It destroyed it for both my sister-in-law and brother-in-law.” They attempted to obtain information for about 30 minutes before disappearing.

Katie has since lodged a complaint with the event organisers. According to emails viewed by Manchester Evening News, SJM Concerts are investigating the matter.

The 29-year-old is hoping for tickets to a different Oasis reunion tour or a refund.

The Mirror has contacted SJM Concerts for comment on this story.
