Oasis have announced two extra Wembley Stadium shows after their tour sold out over the weekend, and addressed the controversy over sales for the first time.

Both Noel and Liam Gallagher, as well as Ticketmaster, came under fire over the initial release – as fans spent hours in virtual queues, and some tickets ended up costing more than double due to “in demand” pricing.

It comes after the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced an “urgent review” of dynamic pricing to ensure consumers are being treated fairly, amid the backlash over ticket prices for the reunion tour.

Announcing two further dates at Wembley Stadium in September, the band said for these shows there would be a staggered “special invitation-only ballot ticket sale strategy”, devised “as a small step towards making amends for the situation”.

They said it needed “to be made clear” 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”.

Applications to join the ballot for the September shows will be opened first to fans who were unsuccessful in the initial sale.

“Inevitably interest in this tour is so overwhelming that it’s impossible to schedule enough shows to fulfil public demand,” the band’s statement continued. “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.”

Prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management “resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy”, which would have been a fair experience for fans, they said – including dynamic ticketing “to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting”. However, “the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations”.

“All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience, but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve.”
