Investigating allegations of unauthorized entry to an Oasis concert at Wembley, where some individuals are said to have bypassed ticket checks.
Wembley Stadium Investigates Ticket-Sneaking Scam at Oasis Concert
Wembley Stadium is currently investigating a ticket-sneaking scam that allegedly took place during Oasis's Live '25 residency, with up to 200 fans reportedly gaining entry without valid tickets.
According to reports, the scheme involved two women organising groups of approximately 20 people each. These groups were instructed to enter through a disabled entrance, different from the one printed on their tickets. Security or stadium staff reportedly scanned duplicate tickets without detecting duplication, and wristbands granting VIP access were handed out without further security screening.
The incident is particularly significant as these shows marked the first time Liam and Noel Gallagher performed together at Wembley since 2009, making the concerts highly sought after.
Wembley Stadium has stated that it is treating the incident as a serious offense and will refer substantiated evidence to the police. The investigation is ongoing, with Wembley emphasising the seriousness of unauthorized entry.
In a separate incident, Oasis expressed their condolences after the death of one fan, 45-year-old Lee Claydon, at one of the Wembley gigs. The final cost of attending one of the gigs surged due to high demand, sparking controversy over dynamic pricing and a lack of transparency.
The band is scheduled to return to Wembley Stadium for two nights on 27 and 28 September, but it is unclear whether the alleged incidents of unauthorized entry occurred during these shows. Six people were arrested for suspected unauthorized entry across the five shows, and 24 were ejected for the same reason.
One of those who sneaked in told a newspaper that they were given tickets, all of which were the same, and a woman drew a shape on their hands. The investigation will refer evidence to the police if the allegations are substantiated.
