Have you tried changing the email address on the old ID? Note the restrictions in the article.

Apple ID Name Change. *

What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support * I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.

Why can't you use the old email? Have you tried signing out of the App Store/iTunes, restarting, and then signing back in with the desired Apple ID?
