Oasis has released a statement saying they "at no time had any awareness" that dynamic pricing was going to be used for the sale of their reunion tour tickets on Ticketmaster.

It comes as the Gallagher brothers have made a change to the process of buying tickets as they announced two new dates added to the 2025 tour yesterday (September 4), after fans were left disappointed and complained over queues and surge pricing.

The Britpop music stars responded by announcing two more London shows at Wembley Stadium with a new ticketing plan following chaos over the weekend.

“Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on sale with Ticketmaster,” a statement said.

The ballot will run using the same system as the pre-order ballot on Friday which featured transparent ticketing prices on Ticketmaster.

It appears fans who were unsuccessful in the initial ballot will see the application for the new dates open to them first.

Pricing will be published on the Ticketmaster website at the time of the ballot, the PA news agency understands.

The full statement issued by Oasis to the PA news agency said: “It needs 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.

“While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, 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.”

Ticketmaster has said it does not set concert prices and its website states this is down to the “event organiser” who “has priced these tickets according to their market value”.
