Oasis fans are once again divided in their reaction to the private ballot sale for the remaining Wembley Stadium reunion shows.Ahead of today’s (September 14) sale, the band clarified how the process would work in a post yesterday.

Fans who signed into their Ticketmaster UK accounts on August 31 – the dates tickets originally went on sale – and joined a queue but didn’t manage to buy a ticket were able to register for a ballot, which was used to send codes to a select number of fans.“Fans selected in the private ballot have now been contacted with on-sale information and the code for the ticket sale,” the band send said on X/Twitter.Following the previous dynamic pricing controversy, a representative for Oasis confirmed to the Metro that there is a ticket price cap for the extra London dates, which means dynamic pricing won’t be an issue for fans hoping to get lucky in today’s private sale.Everyone who successfully got a code was entered into staggered sales, which began this morning at 8:30am – 11am, and will continue between 1pm – 3:30pm and 5:30pm-7pm.pic.twitter.com/HBbi54oKK3— Oasis (@oasis) September 13, 2024“Codes were sent via the email address associated with their Ticketmaster account and ballot registration,” they continued. “Demand for these shows is unprecedented.

A code does not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be sold on a first come first serve basis.”With the first wave now well underway, fans have walked away with mixed fortunes.
