The group is scheduled to perform in front of 80,000 attendees tonight, marking the start of five fully booked performances at Heaton Park, following the launch of their global tour in Cardiff last week.
With demand significantly exceeding supply for the concerts - their first in Manchester in 16 years -TikTokPeople have started exchanging advice on ways to bypass security measures.
One recommendation was to climb trees in order to reach the double fence or try swimming across the park's boating lake.
"We need to climb over this fence here... and then you're all set for Oasis," a TikToker said to his followers.
Another person said, "Once you enter the water, you must swim, and then you'll be in."
Manchester City Council has criticized the videos and encouraged supporters without tickets to appreciate the 'excellent' ambiance in the city center.
The Greater Manchester Police have pledged a "large and clearly noticeable law enforcement effort" to prevent criminals.
The Heaton Park dates are the only UK performances held beyond a stadium, while the rest are scheduled at the Principality Stadium, Wembley, and Murrayfield.
The 600-acre area serves as the location for the annual Parklife festival and was where Oasis performed their final show in the city on June 7, 2009.
Last year, authorities issued a removal order for the park to stop un-ticketed supporters from assembling outside.
SJM Concerts, the company behind the events, stated that 2,000 stewards and a "notable number" of police officers would be present at the event.
"We've been collaborating with different councils and emergency services for over a year to make sure the Oasis performances at Heaton Park are secure for all ticket holders. Anyone without a ticket is advised not to go to Heaton Park," said Rob Ballantine, director of SJM Concerts, to the Guardian.
We know about the TikTok videos, but what is not visible is the presence of 2,000 stewards, along with a considerable number of police officers who will be monitoring the area, as well as the double fence surrounding the whole site with mobile security positioned between the fences.
Local council member John Hacking labeled the TikTok videos as 'unwise'.
"It is worrying and irresponsible for people to promote such careless actions in others, as well as to urge individuals to endanger their safety in this manner," he stated.
Fans without tickets should not go to Heaton Park. They are advised to head to the city center, where they will experience a great atmosphere and numerous activities taking place on concert days to participate in and enjoy.
