Oasis fan feels ‘betrayed’ by Wembley ballot process

Must read

Steve Barnes, a 36-year-old airport manager from Southampton, said he spent around 10 hours on his laptop to secure two tickets over the last week but has been unsuccessful.

“I feel angry and disappointed. I feel betrayed by the ballot process and feel that my time has been wasted several time throughout this whole process,” Mr Barnes told the PA news agency.

“We abided by all the rules set by Ticketmaster, we all attempted for the same show, and only wanted two tickets.”

He added: “I have been waiting for the reunion since the split in Paris – as the years went by and they found fame as single artists, I still kept the faith that the rift would heal and they would reform, every rumour and glimmer gave me further hope.

“It means the world to me, it’s the top of my bucket list to see them reunited on stage, but this whole thing has put me off, not just Oasis but going to see anything live.

“The hassle and headache just isn’t worth it anymore.”

Oasis tickets that were released for fans that missed out on the original sale are being sold on reselling websites for thousands of pounds.

The Britpop band, which reformed with Liam and Noel Gallagher last month, created an invite-only for the September 27 and 28 2025 shows at London’s Wembley Stadium following outrage at issues with the original sale.
