Oasis pre-sale update as fans anxiously wait for ballot confirmations
'An unprecedented volume of entries'
Oasis has shared a new statement today updating fans on the pre-sale ballot that was announced last night, as thousands are still waiting for confirmation emails.
The group have said that they have been hit with ‘an unprecedented volume of entries’ for their hotly-anticipated reunion shows.
Fans have waited 15 long years for Liam and Noel Gallagher (as well as the rest of the band) to get back together.
And they’re finally doing it, in spectacular fashion, with 14 shows across the UK and Ireland that are bound to sell out at light speed.
The Oasis reunion shows will include four nights at Heaton Park in July 2025, as well as gigs at Wembley Stadium, Croke Park in Dublin, and Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.
While the general sale on tickets doesn’t go live until 9am on Saturday 31 August, the band have announced a pre-sale that will take place on Friday.
Fans will have to pre-register for the pre-sale by supplying some personal information as well as answering a general knowledge question about Oasis.
People will then be chosen through a ballot to have a chance to buy pre-sale tickets on Friday.
Pre-sale registrations for the Oasis gigs went live at 7pm on Tuesday 27 August and will close at 7pm on Wednesday 28 August.
So many fans flocked to register last night that the website did briefly go down.
And many people today have been panicking that they still haven’t received a confirmation email, leading Oasis to issue the following statement:
“We are aware that many of you are still waiting on a confirmation email.
“Rest assured they are on their way, as we process an unprecedented volume of entries.
“Everyone who has filled out the ballot form by 7pm BST today, Wednesday 28th August, will receive an email where they can confirm their entry in the ballot.”
Those who are successful will then receive an email containing a code from oasismynet on Friday 30 August 2024 by 12pm BST. If you do not receive an email, your application has not been successful.
The codes are non-transferrable and ticket sales are limited to four per person.

Role Model adds Manchester arena show to world tour after huge demand
Daisy Jackson
Platinum-certified singer-songwriter Role Model has just added a huge Manchester gig to his upcoming world tour.
The star – real name Tucker Pillsbury – had previously only added one single UK date to his Chuck on Tour tour, and that was down in London.
But now Role Model is officially heading north, announcing a massive gig at the AO Arena in Manchester.
The news follows a sold-out run of dates last year, which brought him to the (much smaller) O2 Apollo here.
His star really rose after the release and viral success of his 2025 single, ‘Sally, When the Wine Runs Out’.
And now with a third studio album to his name – Chuck Timely & The Hourglass – Role Model is ready to return to Manchester and London on his 2026-2027 global tour.
The tour will travel across North America before heading overseas, with dates across Europe early next year.
Keni Titus will support Role Model at all dates on the UK and European leg of the Chuck on Tour tour.
Role Model will perform at the AO Arena in Manchester on Sunday 28 February, with pre-sales available on 4 and 5 November before general release tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 6 November – grab yours HERE.

Pop icons S Club announce new arena tour, with huge Manchester gig
Daisy Jackson
S Club will be heading back to Manchester on a newly-announced 13-date arena tour next year.
The pop icons have announced the Ain’t No Party Like A S Club Party tour, which will see Bradley, Jo, Jon, Rachel and Tina back on stage for the ultimate pop party.
The huge tour includes a night at the AO Arena in Manchester, as well as two gigs at the O2 in London.
S Club are one of Britain’s most successful pop groups, formerly known as S Club 7, who went on to become a cultural phenomenon with their own TV series – one of which, L.A. 7, remains the highest-rated programme of all time on CBBC.
Their smash hits include Reach, Don’t Stop Movin, Bring It All Back, Never Had A Dream Come True, and S Club Party.
In 2023, S Club celebrated their 25th anniversary with a sellout UK and US tour, shortly after the tragic death of former member Paul Cattermole.
Now, five of the original seven are ready to bring the party back to Manchester, as S Club return to the stage.
They’ll have very special guests supporting on the tour too, announcing Boyzlife, the supergroup made up of the former Boyzone and Westlife members Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden.
S Club say: “We can’t wait to get back out on tour, see you all and celebrate the songs, memories and moments we’ve shared together over the years.
“It’s going to be one BIG party, and we want you all to be part of it!”
S Club will play the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday 9 October 2027.
Tickets for all shows go on sale at 9.30am on Friday 6 November HERE.
