This time around, they were invite-only, and only available to Oasis fans who received a special ballot code by 9pm last night.

The band also snubbed the dynamic pricing fiasco, which led to a huge backlash when the general sale tickets went on sale last month.

Yet despite this, many fans were still gutted this morning as they reported technical difficulties on Ticketmaster, as well as touts flogging tickets on resale sites for over £1K within minutes of the new tickets going on sale.

Several disappointed fans raged that, despite having the ballot code, Ticketmaster wasn’t playing ball for them.

One raged on reddit: “Getting this message after getting the code and getting through the queue…

“Something went wrong… An error occurred and we could not reserve your tickets.”

Another fumed on X: “What an absolute s**show again. @TicketmasterUK you are total garbage!!!”

A third screamed: “Well, didn’t Ticketmaster mess up. What a joke.”

A fourth who lost out sobbed: “Never wanting to buy another concert ticket again.”

And a fifth added: “25 years ago, fans were crazy about #Oasis, but this time their reunion seems to have been influenced by Taylor Swift, who is now the symbol of modern music marketing.

“Oasis has jumped on this bandwagon, making it difficult for fans to feel the same level of enthusiasm as before.”

Others were raging that they hadn’t got ballot codes, yet within minutes of the new tickets going on Ticketmaster, they were already on resale sites like Viagogo for hiked prices.

Some were going for as much as £1,300 by 8.38am.

One took to X to vent: “So f****** predictable. Ticketmaster are a shambles. Proper fans can’t get tickets but the “invite only ballot” tickets are straight on viagogo for over a grand 8 minutes after going on sale.”

A second agreed, weighing in: “Literally minutes and they’re up already whilst us people who genuinely want to see you got nothing.”

Others had a better experience, however, and commented that getting tickets was a much less painful experience this time around.

“I had a much better experience, 5001 ahead of me when I joined the queue. 2 standing tickets paid for 8 minutes later,” one commented on reddit.

Another seconded that: “Eventually it worked and I got 2 tickets!”

The final Wembley gigs are on September 27 and September 28 2025.

Prices range from £74.25 – £206.25, including fees, on Ticketmaster.

They go on sale in three 90 minute blocks today.

The first runs from 8.30 am until 10am.

The second takes place from 12 midday to 1.30pm, and the third will kick off at 3.30pm, lasting until 5pm.

There is also a two ticket per person policy this time around.
