Second chance for fans of the British rock band. Oasis added two more dates to their September return tour on Wednesday, September 4, and will also change the way they sell tickets after the controversy over their pricing.
“Two additional concerts at Wembley Stadium have been added due to phenomenal demand”the Manchester duo said on X. They will take place on September 27 and 28, 2025, more than a month after the 17 concerts scheduled for July and August in the UK and Ireland.
When the first tickets went on sale (all gone within hours) on Saturday 31 August, fans faced numerous outages on saturated sales platforms and were unpleasantly surprised to discover at the last minute that “dynamic pricing” had caused prices to soar, from 150 to over 350 pounds. This time, tickets will be sold according to a process “staggered” and with “an invitation-only draw”the group stressed on X.
British fans who failed to secure tickets on Saturday through Ticketmaster UK, the main ticketing site, will be given priority access to the draw, Oasis have promised, with more details on the process to follow later. In total, more than 1.4 million tickets were sold on Saturday, the BBC estimated.
In the face of the controversy, the British government has promised to look into these controversial methods of selling concert tickets, particularly the practice of “dynamic pricing” which has caused the price of some tickets for the Oasis tour to soar. On Monday, hundreds of fans had filed complaints with the British advertising regulator.
