Oasis tickets that were released for fans who missed out on the original sale are being sold on reselling websites for thousands of pounds.

The Britpop band, which reformed with Liam and Noel Gallagher last month, created an invite-only ballot for the September 27 and 28 2025 shows at London’s Wembley Stadium following outrage at issues with the original sale.

While adding the two dates to the run of the Oasis Live’ 25 tour, Oasis said they were unaware that “dynamic pricing”, which saw tickets on sale for more than double the original price, was being used to sell passes on Ticketmaster, and blamed the situation on “unprecedented demand”.

Those who have received a code had the opportunity to buy tickets on Saturday for the Wembley dates, but this does not guarantee success as tickets are being sold on a first come, first served basis.

On Saturday morning, tickets had been listed on online marketplace Viagogo for £596 to £1,162 each for one standing pass, and one VIP pass at £2,614 after sales were released.

StubHub also saw high prices, with two standing tickets on sale for between £482 and £4,820.

Standing tickets at the national football stadium had been put on sale at a cost of £151.25, while a number of premium packages have also been put on offer with the most expensive costing £506.25, on Ticketmaster.

Ticketmaster said at 1.15pm that standing and £167.95 tickets “are no longer available” for the midday sale and urged fans to look at options for the Sunday show.

The invitation-only sale is set to restart at 3.30pm, as fans aim to buy the tickets in batches throughout the day.

Fans praised the latest scramble to get tickets, saying the process was “much, much smoother” than last month, with one saying that “aside from the controversy regarding ticket prices and the way that side of it was handled, the reunion feels like it’s sparked a bit of excitement”.

Wembley Stadium has also assured guests with disabilities that are booking tickets with the invitation-only codes via the phone, that they are allocating them, and more could be offered to those who were not in the ballot.

A spokesman for the venue said: “Our phone lines have been open since 8.30 this morning, in line with Ticketmaster.

“Any accessible guests who’ve been able to produce a code have been allocated tickets at the time of their call.

“Any accessible guests who do not have a code have been advised (both by the team on the phones and the automated messaging) to register their interest via wembleystadium.com and should we have availability remaining after today’s sale, the team will contact each of them back and look to accommodate tickets where we can.”

Viagogo has previously defended its reselling practices as legal, and claimed it is a way to deal with fans being frustrated by having website issues trying to buy tickets for gigs.

“Resale is legal in the UK and fans are always protected by our guarantee that they will receive their tickets in time for the event or their money back.”

He also said: “Our number one tip for fans using secondary marketplaces is to continue to check prices outside of the first few weeks of sale.

“Demand will be at its peak when tickets hit the on sale but it’s not a normal reflection of what tickets can and will go for. Just this summer, tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in the UK sold on our platform for as low as £80.”

The previous sale caused controversy, prompting the Government and the UK’s competition watchdog to pledge they will look at the use of dynamic pricing.

Ticketmaster has previously said this was down to the organiser of the sale, not its website.

Oasis, StubHub and Viagogo have been contacted for comment.

A spokeswoman for Ticketmaster said: “Ticketholders are strongly advised to resell their tickets through Ticketmaster or Twickets only. The tour has put this policy in place to cap ticket resale prices to combat price inflation and prevent ticket touting.

“Selling tickets on unauthorised resale platforms breaches the promoter’s terms and conditions and may result in those tickets being cancelled.”
