Oasis ticket ballot emails sent for Wembley extra dates - but fans needs to answer a special question
The first batch of Oasis fans who signed up for the Wembley extra dates ballot should have received an email in their inboxes this morning with details of how to enter. The Britpop band announced their comeback last month and sold out all 17 dates of their UK and Ireland tour taking place next year.
Following the huge demand for tickets, Oasis confirmed they will be playing two more dates at Wembley Stadium on September 27 and 28, 2025. But unlike the last ticket sale, which saw fans waiting hours in online queues for some to be declared bots or be met with 'dynamic pricing models', this time tickets will be allocated using a lottery system.
Releasing information about the extra dates earlier this week, Oasis said: "Additional Wembley Dates - Private Ballot Information. Invitations to enter the 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, 31st August, and 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 junkmail.
"Once successfully registered, you will be entered into the ballot for a code for access to 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. 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."
But we have found out this morning (Sunday) it's not just enough to get an email inviting you to the ballot - you actually have to know your Oasis history in order to get through.
In an attempt to 'keep bots out of the ballot' any fans keen to get their hands on tickets will be asked to answer one fairly simple question (for Oasis fans anyway). The message at the top of the email reads: "Please answer the following question correctly to help us keep bots out of the ballot."
The questions then asks: "When did Oasis last play at Wembley Stadium?" Then a line underneath says: "Your answer must be correct to qualify for the private ballot."
People are then presented with three options - 2006, 2008 and 2009. Of course any Oasis fan would know the answer is 2009.
According to Mirror Online, the UK and Ireland tour is only the first stage for Liam and Noel Gallagher, who are reportedly close to nailing down a multi-million pound deal to play their biggest-ever US concerts.
