OASIS HAVE ANNOUNCED two extra dates in London after the high demand for their concerts next year.
The brothers announced this afternoon that two extra shows in Wembley Stadium have been added “due to phenomenal demand”.
The tickets will be sold through a “staggered, invitation-only ballot process”, the band wrote on social media.
“Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many UK fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on sale with Ticketmaster.”
Tickets for Oasis’s concerts in Dublin next year were rapidly sold on Friday morning, though many fans were left frustrated by a technical errors and the high price of tickets.
The high ticket prices were exacerbated by dynamic pricing, a practice used by Ticketmaster to increase the cost of ‘in demand’ tickets.

Won’t this cause the previous tickets bought through dynamic pricing to drop in value, which would mean a part refund from ticketmaster?
@Bryan: were they not ‘dynamic’ at moment of sale?..
They’re not stamped on ticket as dynamic ha?
Tad ridiculous statement I think..
Are you having a laugh like?..
@Julio’s Evil Twin: What was Julio doing with Paul down by the schoolyard?
Have no issue with dynamic pricing whatsoever. TM and Oasis can look for 100 thousand per ticket for all I care as long as the consumer knows in ADVANCE that’s what the price is, quite simple. And that should include knowing BEFORE joining any pathetic virtual Q to give hours of their time away to only then find out the price, where the hell else on plant earth would that happen? People will say, oh airlines do this, supply and demand, yeah that’s fine but Michael O Leary doesn’t make you waste your time in a three hour virtual Q on his website after clicking on a flight for details before telling you what price he wants to gouge you for. You can find out pronto what he wants and leave there and then. That was the part that was the utter disgrace. The percentage of people who actually got Oasis tickets at 87 euro must have been pathetic. To know the orders to use dynamic pricing comes from the artists themselves is also disgraceful. The industry is certainly giving fans two fingers back for the Napster years that’s for sure!
@Dan The Man: Agreed.. If it was an actual physical queue.. like it used to be.. and an outlet had 10,000 tickets to sell at an advertised 90 euro each.. and 20,000 people were in the queue.. they couldn’t start ramping up the price of those tickets as they worked their way down the queue.. because of the obvious demand. It would be illegal. Just because they’re now sold online and companies can use an algorithm to screw fans, it doesn’t mean that the exact same practise shouldn’t be considered illegal.
@Dan The Man: Pantera in the 3 arena isn’t even sold out yet standing tickets have risen to €230. I know that is mild compared to what Oasis fans were charged but neither are right
@Brian: it’s like going into tesco, reading a single sign above the door saying prices starting from 5 cent, doing your shopping with no prices on any individual item, joining a two hour Q, letting the person scan all your items still not knowing and you only then find out what the actual cost is. That’s basically how buying tickets for live events is going. And this will move into football events. Man United and Liverpool will be all over this you can be sure!
@Dan The Man: 100 per cent. Made same comparison the last day of picking up a load a bread advertised at X only to discover at the checkout it had gone up 400 per cent while you were in the queue.. its a slippery slope we’re on here with this ‘ dynamic pricing’ b/s if we allow it to become pervasive.
@Dan The Man: in the case of Man U, they’ll have to give refunds based on the numbers that stayed to the end last eeek
They can shove it up their rock and roll
Must be short of a few bob
I wonder will ireland get more dates
@Brian Dunne: did you manage to get tickets?
@SYaxJ2Ts: nope. Got the pre sale code and only noticed it in my spam folder on sat morning. Sick.
@Brian Dunne: ah feck. Decent chance they’ll add detes, good luck
I find it strange that with all this hysteria, they haven’t done a press conference together. When the roses refined at least they announced their gigs even though they hated each other. Speaks volume s that they don’t care and all they are interested in is cash. No doubt 2 years time they will admit that on Jonathan Ross show. No time for them.
Stuff ‘em where the sun don’t shine
@barbara christopher: You mean shinnnneeee ..
Just saw 4 tickets for one of the sold out shows in Wembley for over 500 pounds each listed on twickets.
The bigger the shows, the bigger the fall. I hope I’m wrong, but something tells me they may not last more than 4 shows or even pass rehearsals.
More foolish people with the money
@Glen Kelly: actually, I’d bet it’s mostly people who can’t afford it. People with money respect money more.
Yobs that sound ok
Mandating the use of blockchain technology for concert tickets could solve many existing issues.
@Sid: how so?
They can stick them up their wholes
have your say
