If you missed out on Oasis tickets last month, you might have been selected in a new, private ballot to try and grab some of the last remaining dates.
Following the 'unprecedented demand' for tickets, Oasis announced on Friday (13 September) that fans selected in the latest private ballot have now been contacted with their codes for the ticket sale.

In a post on social media, the band wrote: "Fans selected in the private ballot have now been contacted with on-sale information and their code for the ticket sale.
"Codes were sent via the email address associated with their Ticketmaster account and ballot registration.
"Demand for these shows is unprecedented. A code does not guarantee tickets.
"Tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis."

Following the huge demand for tickets after the first sale on 30 August and 31 August, Oasis took to social media, stating: “UK. Two extra Wembley Stadium shows have been added due to phenomenal demand.
“Tickets will be sold by a staggered, invitation-only ballot process. Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many UK fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on sale with Ticketmaster. More details to follow.”
The band explained that applications to join the ballot were first opened to those unsuccessful in the first round.

Fans were gutted when, after waiting in queues online for hours, some were being kicked out, while those patient enough to wait were met with 'dynamic pricing'.
It meant that standard tickets that were priced at £148 were more than doubled to £355 on Ticketmaster, which resulted in the government and the UK's competition watchdog to promise that they would look into how dynamic pricing is used.

Responding to the backlash over Ticketmaster’s dynamic ticketing system, a statement from Oasis read: “It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used.

“While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations.
“All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience, but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve.”
Where can I purchase Oasis tickets?
