The Live ’25 tour sold out all its gigs around the UK and Ireland and as a result, two extra dates were added on for Wembley Stadium.
The initial ticket sale caused a lot of controversy, as some fans were met with dynamic pricing models that saw prices almost double, declared to be bots and kicked from queues or just couldn’t get through in time.
Last night (Saturday, September 7) the band shared on its social media pages that invitations to enter a private ballot for the remaining two Wembley shows had been sent on email to “eligible fans we have been able to identify”.

It added: “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 junk mail.
“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.

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… pic.twitter.com/Dpfhk49va3— Oasis (@oasis) September 4, 2024
“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.”
Oasis fans “fuming” over private invite ballot
Some Oasis fans who missed out on getting tickets for the original tour dates complained that they didn’t get an email to enter the ballot.
One person shared on X (formerly known as Twitter): “To say I’m fuming is an understatement. No code in the first ballot then 2500 in the general sake on Saturday to still not get a ticket and no pre sale code AGAIN. The wife and I have seeen you over 20 times. F****** livid.”
Another shared: “I was in the queue an still didnt get an email ate you joking me? #Oasis”.
Meanwhile, another posted: “I was logged in, was in the queue, was unsuccessful in the ballot but I’ve not received an email. This is becoming a joke and very unoasis.”

A lot of people expressed similar sentiments about missing out again, as one wrote: “No email then….6 hours in a queue kicked off twice and unable check out when i finally got in clearly didn’t cut it. Been coming to see Oasis since I was 15 in 1995….easier to get tickets then without all this online s***! Not sure how much more disappointment I can take.”
Some were able to register for the ballot but had a stressful wait as their confirmation email hadn’t come through yet.
One person shared: “Got my email for the ballot at 4.30am this morning. Just registered now but had no confirmation email come through yet? Do they take a while or have I filled the form out wrong?”
When did Oasis last play Wembley?
Those who are registering for the ballot have to answer the question ‘When did Oasis last play Wembley’ to get through all the checks, with the answer being 2009.
