After thousands were left 'crying their heart out' having missed out on Oasis tickets, the band has announced new dates for the tour.

If you’re one of the many heartbroken Brits at home still mourning your inability to net Oasis tickets last weekend, you can now stop crying your heart out because the band has just announced two new dates for their tour. And luckily for us Londoners, both of the newly announced shows will be taking place at Wembley Stadium.

The newly re-united duo announced their reunion and 2025 tour just last week – with dates announced for Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin next summer. As you might expect demand was HUGE for tickets, and unfortunately thousands of fans missed out on the chance to grab tickets. In the wake of the disappointment, Oasis released a statement that there would be two further tour dates on September 27 & 28.

According to the statement, priority for the tickets for the new dates would go to those who missed out during the original sale. The statement reads:

“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.”

It’s unclear for now how Ticketmaster will determine who gets priority, or when the new tickets will go on sale, but we’ll stay tuned for more information.

Oasis 2025 Tour Dates

With the new dates, the Oasis ’25 tour now looks like this:

  • 4th July – Cardiff, Principality Stadium (SOLD OUT)
  • 5th July – Cardiff, Principality Stadium (SOLD OUT)
  • 11th July – Manchester, Heaton Park (SOLD OUT)

If you miss out on tickets, the only authorised ticket resellers are Twickets and Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan. Tickets bought through other resale sites may not be genuine and can be cancelled by the promoters.

A Ticket Row?

So, will there be more dates announced for other cities on the tour? There are some noticeable gaps in the currently announced dates, so it’s not entirely unlikely! But only time will tell…

The announcement of these two additional shows at Wembley comes just days after the band faced backlash over the use of dynamic pricing for their original ticket sale. Many fans were left frustrated and disappointed after being forced to pay significantly higher prices than they had expected.

In a statement released on social media, Oasis acknowledged the issues, saying, “Inevitably interest in this tour is so overwhelming that it’s impossible to schedule enough shows to fulfil public demand. But this ticket sale strategy will make the process far smoother for fans by reducing the stress and time it takes to obtain one of the hottest tickets of our time.”

The band also addressed the controversy surrounding dynamic pricing, stating 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.”

A More Fair System

The new staggered ballot system is a bid to make amends for the original ticket sale experience, which saw many fans queuing for hours only to be met with inflated prices and website glitches. The band hopes that this new system will provide a “fairer experience for fans,” ultimately allowing more people to get tickets to see Oasis live.

While the new dates won’t completely satisfy the overwhelming demand for tickets, it’s a step in the right direction. The band is hoping that this new system will create a smoother and less stressful experience for fans, ensuring that more people can get their hands on tickets for this highly anticipated reunion tour.

The band’s decision to address the criticism and offer a new ticket sale strategy demonstrates their commitment to their fans, even in the face of immense pressure and unprecedented demand. Whether or not this will be enough to appease all of their fans remains to be seen, but the band has certainly shown that they are listening to the concerns of their fanbase and trying to make things right.
