Oasis announce two new gigs after thousands of devastated Brits miss out on tickets

There's no reason to look back at Ticketmaster in anger just yet

Oasis have announced two new gigs after thousands of devastated Brits missed out on tickets last weekend.

Yep, you don't need to look back in anger just yet lads, Liam and Noel Gallagher have given fans a second chance at getting tickets.

This comes after plenty of us were left sitting staring at our multiple devices for hours on Saturday morning (31 August) desperately hoping to get through the queue for tickets.

And with many Oasis fans losing out in both the pre-sale and general sale, the band confirmed today (4 September) that a special process will be put in place for these newly-added shows in London.

A statement posted to social media reads: "UK. 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."

To be sold through this mysterious 'invitation-only ballot' system, Oasis' two new shows will take place on 27 and 28 September 2025.

With fans slightly confused by just what this means and the band set to explain the details, it comes after huge backlash to Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing system.

The initial 17 shows across the UK and Ireland sold out on Saturday but there were plenty of fans left fuming when they finally got through to the queue just to find sky-high prices.

Many believed they would be paying the likes of £135 for a ticket, only to be greeted by prices at £355 - with only minutes to decide whether or not they could afford to splash the cash.

But it turns out this controversial dynamic pricing could actually be a breach of consumer law.

Sylvia Rook, at the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI), told The Guardian: “Dynamic, or fluid pricing, is not specifically prohibited by consumer protection law; the important factor is that consumers are not misled by the indicated price.

“It is a breach of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (2008) if a trader misleads consumers regarding the price of goods and services, if that causes the average consumer to take a different ‘transactional decision’.

“In this case many consumers would not have joined the queue had they known that the price would have increased by the time they were able to purchase, and many fans could not afford the increased price.”

After being approached by LADbible for comment, a representative for Ticketmaster explained that the site doesn't set the prices for tickets and redirected us to an explainer webpage for 'in demand' and 'platinum' tickets.

The page added that 'promoters and artists set ticket prices and 'prices can be either fixed or market-based', with the latter including the options for 'in demand' prices.

It also stated that 'in demand' and 'platinum' tickets are not part of a package and do not come with any extras.

Tickets are being sold via SEE Tickets, Ticketmaster and GIGSANDTOURS. Hospitality packages are also available via Seat Unique.
