Oasis fans who missed out on tickets for their 2025 tour have been offered renewed hope as two more shows have now been announced.
The news comes after hundreds of thousands were left empty-handed following Saturday’s frenetic scramble for tickets, with many unable to get their hands on a spot at the hotly anticipated shows due to high demand, crashing websites and ‘dynamic pricing.’
In a bid to ease the immense demand, it was announced this evening (Wednesday, September 4) that two more gigs would be played at Wembley Stadium in London. In an official statement released on X, Oasis confirmed: “Two extra Wembley Stadium shows have been added due to phenomenal demand.
“Tickets will be sold by a staggered, invitation-only ballot process. Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many UK fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on sale with Ticketmaster. More details to follow.”
But while some were optimistic about witnessing the Gallagher brothers next year, others were left with some burning questions about how the tickets would be allocated – and whether those who missed out would be given priority. One fan wrote: “It’ll be interesting to see how they do this.
“I am guessing it will be for anyone who initially entered the ticket ballot but was unsuccessful. I’m not sure how they would be able to police those who ended up not getting a presale code but still got tickets on Saturday though.”
Another asked: “How do you determine who was unsuccessful in the initial sale? Does Ticketmaster track people who were in the queue but never got on site?”
A third fan piled on: “Presumably you’ll have details from those who had logged into Ticketmaster accounts on the morning of the sale? Otherwise not sure how you’ll know who was unsuccessful on Saturday.”
Meanwhile, a fourth X user felt they had been left in the dark about the selection process. “Is that the Friday ballot who missed out OR those in the Saturday queue with a queue ID who gave up after 5 hours?” they asked.
Others expressed concerns about accessibile tickets, with many disabled fans finding it “impossible” to secure them last Saturday (August 31). Some fans claimed they had tried to contact Wembley’s dedicated phone line thousands of times without success.
One user asked: “Will there be a chance for those disabled and requiring a companion ticket to call the so called dedicated accessibility line again and the line actually work? Those with disabilities being disadvantaged by only being able to buy these tickets over the phone!”
Another wrote: “How do people requiring accessible tickets try to get them? @wembleystadium Do they have to try and call the accessible line again? There’ll be no record of those that tried over a thousand times?”
Similarly, a third person shared their telephone ordeal: “What about the disabled fans who couldn’t use Ticketmaster as Wembley deal with accessibility tickets and had to sit on hold for 4 1/2 hrs trying to get accessible tickets?”
