Oasis reveal private ballot details for extra Wembley Stadium reunion shows
Oasis have confirmed details of the private ballot for the extra two dates the band will play at Wembley Stadium next September.
After the Britpop giants announced their return at the end of August and confirmed a run of huge shows in the UK and Ireland for next summer, tickets sold out for the initial dates on the first day.
For many fans, the experience of trying to secure their tickets was stressful, with people waiting in huge queues for several hours, and others being hit by the price hikes associated with dynamic pricing.
In response to the controversy, Oasis announced on Wednesday (September 4) that they would be playing two extra shows at Wembley, but this time with much stricter rules in place for the ticket sales.
The band offered “a small step towards making amends for the situation” with “a special invitation-only ballot ticket sale strategy” for two new Wembley gigs on Friday September 27 and Saturday September 28.
Now, Oasis have shared further details about how the ballot will work. In a post on social media, they have said: “Invitations to enter the private ballot will be sent overnight tonight (Saturday) to eligible fans we have been able to identify.”
“If you signed into your Ticketmaster UK account on Saturday, 31st August, and were able to join a queue for a specific show, but didn’t get a ticket – then you may be eligible to take part and will receive an email on how to register for the ballot.”
It asks fans to keep an eye on their inboxes and to check their junkmail. Those who successfully register will be entered into the ballot for a code for access to the final two Wembley shows. Entry to the ballot, it says, will not guarantee you will receive a code.

After the initial tickets sold out, Oasis warned fans that “people attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market” will have them “cancelled by the promoters”.
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy called for a review into the controversial practice of dynamic pricing and Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the price hikes “depressing”, while the issue is now set to be investigated by the Competition and Markets Authority, the Irish government and the European Commission.
Some experts have also claimed that Ticketmaster may have breached consumer protection law by not warning Oasis fans about their use of dynamic pricing.
The band went out of their way to clarify that they were not aware beforehand that prices would increase so dramatically.
“While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations,” they said in a statement. “All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience, but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve.”
