Oasis announce two extra Wembley dates due to ‘phenomenal public demand’ for reunion tour
Oasis have announced two extra Wembley Stadium shows and changed the way tickets will be sold after backlash at the use of dynamic pricing for their previous gigs.
The 90s band from Manchester will now play the London stadium on 27/28 September, as well as 25, 26, 30 July, 3 and 4 August.
In a post on X the Britpop band said on Wednesday, 4 September: “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 Ticketmaster. More details to follow.”
A statement from the band read: “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.
“All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience, but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve.”
A tweet explaining the ballot process for tickets for the new dates read: “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 Ticketmaster.”
The long-awaited Oasis reunion tour has attracted huge attention from fans because it will see the Britpop band on stage together for the first time since their major split in 2009.
On 31 August, they revealed the general sale tickets for their forthcoming 17 UK and Ireland gigs had sold out in less than a day.
Both Noel and Liam Gallagher, as well as Ticketmaster, came under fire over the initial release, as fans spent hours in virtual queues with some tickets ended up costing more than double due to "in demand" pricing.
Fans were left shocked after standard tickets jumped from £148 to £355, prompting the Government and the UK’s competition watchdog to pledge they will look into the use of dynamic pricing.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer also said the Government will get a “grip” on the issue of surge pricing and that it is seeking consultation on the issue.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received 450 complaints about Ticketmaster adverts for the Oasis gigs.
A spokesman for the UK’s regulator of advertising said the complainants argue the adverts made “misleading claims about availability and pricing”.
It is believed the ticket prices for the Oasis gigs were set by promoters including SJM Concerts, MCD and DF Concerts & Events.
Formed in 1991, the Britpop group rose to fame with hits like Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Stop Crying Your Heart Out.
They went on to become one of the biggest bands in British music history before their break-up in 2009.
The brothers went on to have successful separate careers, with Noel fronting the group Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.
