In response to the overwhelming interest, Oasis has introduced a new ticket sale strategy and explained exactly how lucky fans will be able to get a hold of tickets.
Tickets for the extra dates, scheduled for September 27 and 28, 2025, will be sold through a “staggered, invitation-only ballot process”.
The band stated: “Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many UK fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on-sale with Ticketmaster. More details to follow.”
This move comes after the initial ticket release saw over 10 million fans from 158 countries attempting to secure their spots, leaving many disappointed.
The new ticketing strategy aims to address the frustrations experienced by fans during the initial sale. Oasis acknowledged the “immense frustration” and “disappointment” caused by website crashes and unexpected price increases.
In a statement, the band explained: “Inevitably interest in this tour is so overwhelming that it’s impossible to schedule enough shows to fulfil public demand. But this ticket sale strategy will make the process far smoother for fans by reducing the stress and time it takes to obtain one of the hottest tickets of our time.”
The invitation-only ballot will prioritise fans who were unsuccessful in the Ticketmaster sale. However, it remains unclear if and when customers who used other ticketing platforms will be included in this special ballot.
This approach seeks to provide a fairer opportunity for dedicated fans to secure tickets for the highly anticipated reunion shows.
The band has also addressed criticism over dynamic pricing, which saw ticket prices surge due to high demand. Oasis stated they “leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management”.
A spokesperson for PR agency DawBell clarified: “[They] at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used.”
The statement continued: “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.”
Oasis acknowledged that despite efforts to deliver the best possible fan experience, the unprecedented demand made this “impossible to achieve”.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received 450 complaints about Ticketmaster adverts for the Oasis gigs, with complainants arguing the adverts made “misleading claims about availability and pricing”.
The OASIS LIVE ’25 tour has become the biggest concert launch ever seen in the UK and Ireland.
The addition of two extra dates brings the total number of Wembley Stadium shows to seven, highlighting the band’s enduring popularity.
These concerts will mark the first time Liam and Noel Gallagher perform together since their split in 2009.

The European Commission has announced an investigation into dynamic pricing following the controversy surrounding the ticket sales.
Oasis has hinted at plans to perform outside of Europe later in 2025, though no international dates have been confirmed yet.
The reunion tour is set to begin on July 4 in Cardiff, with stops in Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin.
