Oasis has confirmed they will send out invites for a private invite-only ballot for their “final” Wembley Stadium dates overnight.
The band said they would be sending the invites out to “eligible fans we have been able to identify”, and added that those who were signed into a Ticketmaster account on Saturday, August 31 and were able to join a queue for tickets “may be eligible to take part”.
It comes after the band extended their Live ’25 tour to include two more London shows on September 27 and 28.
The tour will be their first since breaking up backstage at France’s Rock en Seine festival in 2009.

Oasis confirms how fans get tickets to extra shows
A statement announcing the details of the private ballot read from Oasis: “Invitations to enter private ballot will be sent overnight tonight (Saturday) to eligible fans we have been able to identify.
“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.
🥇Thirty years later, ‘Definitely Maybe’ is back at the top of the UK Official Albums Chart, with ‘Time Flies... (1994 - 2009)’ and ‘(What's The Story) Morning Glory?’ also in the top 5!

‘Live Forever’, ‘Don't Look Back In Anger’ and ‘Wonderwall’ have also made a return to UK… pic.twitter.com/yE4qjMsI20
“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.
“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.”

Competition watchdog launches investigation into Oasis tickets sale
It comes after many fans were shocked by standard tickets for the reunion tour more than doubling from £148 to £355 on Ticketmaster, prompting the Government and the UK’s competition watchdog to pledge they will look into the use of dynamic pricing.
Meanwhile, others were left angry and disappointed after being left empty-handed, having waited in an online queue for hours to buy tickets.
In a statement on Wednesday, the band said they hoped the new ticket sale strategy will make “the process far smoother for fans by reducing the stress and time it takes” to obtain tickets.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
