Wembley Stadium has launched an investigation after reports that hundreds of fans were able to sneak into an Oasis concert without tickets — allegedly paying £350 each to gain access through a disabled entrance.
“We were given our tickets, which were all the same, and a woman drew a shape on our hands,” one attendee told the paper. “We showed our stamped hands to the person on the door… Another member of staff then handed us a golden circle wristband and that was it. We just walked straight in.”
A Wembley Stadium spokesperson confirmed:
“Entering Wembley Stadium without a ticket is a serious offence and we are investigating these allegations. If they are substantiated, we will refer our evidence to the police.”
Oasis’ Wembley residency — running from July 25 to August 3 — marked the Gallagher brothers’ first joint performance at the venue since 2009. The band will perform at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on August 12, before heading to Dublin’s Croke Park, then touring Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia, and North America later this year.
