Oasis fans outraged as £1,300 Wembley tickets listed for resale minutes after ballot sale opens
Fans have been left dejected after discovering Oasis tickets for next September's Wembley shows available listed for resale - minutes after the first ballot sale opened. Ballot codes were sent out to lucky Oasis fans by Friday before three ballot slots on Ticketmaster today (September 14).
The first one opened at 8.30am and runs until 10am. But with thousands of fans in the queue, and many others waiting for the later ballots, tickets have already appeared on resale website Viagogo.
The Manchester Evening News logged on to Viagogo at 8.50am and was offered two standing tickets for Saturday, September 27 2025, for £1,366 each. Fans have also berated the issue on social media this morning.

One person wrote on X: "I see your invitation only ballot is going well again. 30 years I’ve been following the band then both Liam and Noel’s other projects and didn’t even get a sniff of a ticket. Touts and Ticketmaster win yet again."
Another person said: "So f****** predictable. Ticketmaster are a shambles. Proper fans can’t get tickets but the 'invite only ballot' tickets are straight on viagogo for over a grand eight minutes after going on sale."
A third added: "It took four mins. Great job filtering out the touts." X users also shared screenshots of Viagogo, showing tickets available for more than £1,300 each.
Oasis announced the two new Wembley dates for next September following an outcry after the original sale two weeks ago. Ticket websites buckled under the demand for tickets - before prices were jacked up later in the day on Ticketmaster, leaving many Oasis lovers disappointed.
Three 90-minute ballot slots will be open today for those fans who received a code. Ticket prices start at £73 for standing tickets, including fees.
A Ticketmaster spokesperson 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. Fans should beware that resale listings don’t always reflect real tickets - there is a practice called speculative listings which you can read about here."
A Viagogo spokesperson added: "Demand will be at its peak when tickets are first released but it’s not a normal reflection of what tickets can and will go for. The highest prices you see on the platform, by default, have not sold yet.
"Wildly inflated ticket listing prices outside the demand are not likely to sell at any point. Our number one tip for fans using secondary marketplaces is to continue to check prices outside of the first few weeks of sale.
"On Viagogo's platform, dynamic pricing allows sellers to set ticket prices competitively, often leading to more affordable options for fans. Beyonce’s 2023 Renaissance tour is a great example, tickets to see her in the UK went for as low as £24 GBP and just this summer tickets for Taylor Swift’s Era Tour sold on our platform for as low as £80 GBP for UK shows."
