Oasis add two more Wembley dates with ‘staggered invitation-only ballot’

Bids to join ballot for 27 and 28 September gigs will go first to fans unsuccessful in initial Ticketmaster sales window

Oasis have announced two additional shows at Wembley and promised a “staggered invitation-only ballot”, days after many fans were left angry and disappointed after waiting for hours without being able to buy tickets for the band’s other gigs. Dynamic pricing, which is common in the US but relatively unusual in the UK and Ireland, meant some fans queued all day only to find that the cost of £135 standing tickets had risen to £355 when the time came to confirm their purchase. The European Commission announced it would be investigating dynamic pricing after the controversy, while the Advertising Standards Authority also received 450 complaints about Ticketmaster adverts for the Oasis gigs.
