Oasis criticized Ticketmaster’s so-called “dynamic pricing,” which meant fans paid significantly more than expected for tickets to their concerts.

A dispute broke out over the weekend after many fans were forced to pay up to £350 per ticket due to demand, around £200 more than advertised.

In a statement to PA Media, the band said: “It must be made clear that Oasis leaves decisions regarding ticket sales and pricing entirely to their promoters and management.”

They added that they “had no knowledge at any time that dynamic pricing would be used for ticket sales for the first dates.”

The band’s statement came when they announced two more live shows at Wembley Stadium on 27 and 28 September 2025.

Oasis announced that tickets for the new dates would be allocated in a “staggered, invitation-only lottery system”.

An application for the vote on new dates is only open to those who were unsuccessful in the first sale on Ticketmaster, it said.

Oasis admitted in its statement that ticket sales over the weekend did not go as planned.

They said: “Although previous meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management had resulted in a positive ticket sales strategy that would provide a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to keep general ticket prices low and reduce illegal sales, the implementation of the plan fell short of expectations.

“Everyone involved has done their utmost to provide fans with the best possible experience, but due to unprecedented demand, this was not achievable.”

Over the weekend, many fans missed out on their tickets because they had to deal with problems on the website, with many being told they were bots.

Others who got through were shocked to find that the price of standard tickets on Ticketmaster had more than doubled, from £148 to £355, due to the tour’s “dynamic pricing”, which sees prices skyrocket when demand is high.

The high prices that many fans ultimately paid pose a major threat to the reputation of the Gallagher brothers, as Oasis were considered working-class heroes during their heyday in the 1990s.

Earlier this week, the European Commission announced that it would investigate dynamic pricing following the controversy.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) also received 450 complaints about Ticketmaster advertising for the Oasis concerts.

A spokesman for the UK advertising regulator said the plaintiffs argued the ads contained “misleading claims about availability and price”.

The new dates mean the band will now play seven shows at Wembley as well as dates in Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin.

The concerts will be the band’s first since their split in 2009.
