Oasis have just added two more dates to their upcoming reunion tour – and they’re shaking up how fans buy tickets.
When tickets for their 17-date reunion shows went on sale last weekend, demand went through the roof.
Fans were stuck in virtual queues for up to six hours, See Tickets and Gigs and Tours both crashed, and then many who made it through were stung by ‘dynamic pricing’ which drove up prices from £148.50 to £355.20.
Existing Oasis tour dates included five nights at Heaton Park, plus gigs at Wembley, in Edinburgh, in Dublin and in Cardiff.
And this evening, two extra Oasis gigs have been announced.
The group have confirmed they’ll now be playing a couple of extra nights at London’s Wembley Stadium, on 27 and 28 September.
They added that tickets will be sold by an ‘invitation-only ballot process’ to manage the phenomenal demand.
And those first in the queue will be those who were unsuccessful in the initial on-sale – how that will be worked out and managed it yet to be seen.
Sharing the news, Oasis wrote: “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.”
