Invites are now officially going out for a private invite-only ballot for Oasis’ ‘final’ Wembley Stadium dates in 2025.
The band said they would be sending the invites out to ‘eligible fans we have been able to identify’, and added that those who were signed into a Ticketmaster account on Saturday August 31 and were able to join a queue for tickets ‘may be eligible to take part’.
The question to qualify for ballot this time around was: ‘When did Oasis last play at Wembley Stadium?’
The options were 2000, 2006 or 2009. The correct answer is 2009, so those who submitted this will be in with a shot of buying the elusive tickets.
One fan said on X: ‘Just received an email from Oasis asking if I want to join the ballot for 2 tickets for new shows at Wembley!’
A second added: ‘Emails are going out for the Oasis ballot, I have received one and I’m confirmed for possibly getting in the ballot, there’s still hope, after the hours I spent trying I deserve a bloody ticket.’
A third said: ‘Ballot entry confirmed!! All fingers and toes crossed now.’
Others, who seem to have missed out, also took to social media to lament their bad luck.
One fan, alongside crying emojis, posted to X: ‘Looks like I’ve missed out on the final Oasis ballot.’
A second said: ‘One last chance for Oasis tickets and I’m not even in the ballot. What a joke.’
Meanwhile, a third social media fan remained hopeful: ‘Keeping fingers crossed I get an email for the ballot. Last Saturday, queued seven hours just to get onto the queue to buy tickets, to then be met with 350k in front of me, all Wembley dates practically sold out or pay dynamic prices, only want two tickets for me and my lad.’
It comes after the band extended their Live ’25 tour to include two more London shows on September 27 and 28.
The tour will be their first since breaking up backstage at France’s Rock en Seine festival in 2009.
A statement announcing the details of the private ballot read: ‘Invitations to enter 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 August 31, and you 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.
‘Keep an eye on the inbox associated with your Ticketmaster account and don’t forget to check your junkmail.
‘Once successfully registered, you will be entered into the ballot for a code to access the final Wembley on sale.
‘Due to the demand for the shows and to avoid last week’s long queues, codes will be strictly limited.
‘Entry to the ballot does not guarantee you will receive a code.
‘The ballot is only open to invited fans. You must register with the email to which your invitation was sent and which is registered with your Ticketmaster account.
‘All other entries will be discounted. If you do not receive an email then unfortunately you will not be eligible for the ballot.
‘You will be automatically discounted from the ballot, even if you go through the registration process.’
It comes after many fans were shocked by standard tickets for the reunion tour more than doubling from £148 to £355 on Ticketmaster, prompting the Government and the UK’s competition watchdog to pledge they will look into the use of dynamic pricing.
Meanwhile, others were left angry and disappointed after being left empty-handed, having waited in an online queue for hours to buy tickets.
In a statement on Wednesday the band said they hoped the new ticket sale strategy will make ‘the process far smoother for fans by reducing the stress and time it takes’ to obtain tickets.
It comes after Liam Gallagher spoke about his brother Noel for the first time since the reunion was announced, saying he ‘won’t have a bad word said” about him, and adding he would be ‘blowing him kisses in between each song’.
