A mix of seated and standing tickets were available for fans trying to get a glimpse of Noel, Liam and the band at one of the Wembley shows.
Tickets were allocated in recent weeks, including for fans with standing tickets.
Oasis fans online have reported holding tickets which say either 'front standing' or 'general admission' for the Wembley shows.
However, fans with 'general admission' tickets were able to access the front standing area yesterday - so long as they got in the queue early enough.
Social media has been awash with Oasis fans sharing their advice, including general admission ticketholders who received a stamp allowing access near the front.
In a thread on Reddit, one user asked: "Can anyone explain the stamp situation?
"If you're GA [general admission] you can queue up, get a stamp for front standing, then f*** about for a couple hours and come back and walk straight into front standing, is that right?"
Explaining the situation, another user replied: "Pretty much. We got stamped around 12:30 PM.
"Joined the queue 20 minutes before the doors opened and at that time there were still people getting stamped. Getting to front standing wasn't hard at all."
Other fans have also explained the situation on social media, with one Reddit user posting: "Was there tonight (Friday), if you have standing you can get front standing, first 2.5k, they get you to queue up on the ramp at the yellow entrances and give you as stamp and line up, it's all well signed and worked really well!
"We got there about 3:30pm and was about 1k in! If you're going over the next few days enjoy was class!"
Another user wrote: "Went yesterday and the front standing queue was round by the red entrance.
"We joined it before 4pm and got a front section wristband no problem. We had green zone tickets but didn't matter."
On Facebook, other Oasis fans shared similar advice.
One fan explained: "I was there yesterday. Front Standing. We went to yellow zone about 12:30 and got a stamp.

"We then went to Box Park for a couple hours then back to yellow zone for 3 where we waited in line till doors opened at 5... Once you get ushered through security you will get a wristband and you're in."
Another added: "Just go early and walk straight to the yellow zone, you get a stamp and can go to front area."
Oasis return to the Wembley stage tonight (Saturday) before five further dates on July 30, August 2, August 3, September 27 and September 28.

Lindsay Lohan Admits It's 'Frustrating' Being Pigeonholed By Past Roles: 'Give Me the Chance'
Lindsay Lohan is opening up about her feelings of being pigeonholed by roles she's played in the past as a longstanding actress in the entertainment industry. After starring in 1998's The Parent Trap when she was 12, Lohan's career skyrocketed. She went on to appear in many more beloved projects, including Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, and she is next up set to reprise her role in the former film with the 2025 followup Freakier Friday. More from The Hollywood Reporter Julia Butters Takes on the A-List - Again Anthony Anderson "Regrets" If 2003 Lindsay Lohan Interview "Intended as Comedy" Was in "Poor Taste" Lindsay Lohan Wants to Do "Some More Serious, Dramatic Roles" After 'Freakier Friday' In a Saturday profile with The Times U.K., Lohan admitted that she 'wanted to take a minute' to herself, which saw her shy away from leading roles from 2013 until 2022. 'I was losing that feeling of excitement about doing a film, and I wanted to live my own life for a bit, figure out how to have a more private life, a real life,' she explained. 'I wanted to wait to get that itch again.' A new project Lohan is admittedly excited about is her upcoming Hulu Drama Count My Lies, where she will star and produce. Still, when reflecting on her career thus far and asked if she felt 'pigeonholed,' she replied, 'Yeah, I do.' 'I was so thrilled to work on A Prairie Home Companion, and yet even today I have to fight for stuff that is like that, which is frustrating. Because, well, you know me as this — but you also know I can do that. So let me! Give me the chance,' Lohan said. 'I have to break that cycle and open doors to something else, leaving people no choice. And in due time, if Martin Scorsese reaches out, I'm not going to say no.' At the Los Angeles premiere of Freakier Friday, Lohan told The Hollywood Reporter that moving forward in her career, she would 'like to take on some more serious, dramatic roles,' further noting that she felt a bit of pressure to stick to the rom-com genre. 'I love doing romantic comedy because that's where my home is and I feel like where my fans want to see me, but I'd like to take on some things that are different; maybe find something that's an action-packed film. Just really show people a different side of me,' she added.

A guide to bob haircuts for women over 50, including the five best styles to try
Bob haircuts have long been a go-to style for Hollywood A-listers, from nineties supermodels to modern red carpet icons. Whether it's a chic French bob, a sharp blunt cut, or a layered style to enhance curly or wavy hair, bobs offer endless versatility. The key is choosing a refined cut that complements your face shape, hair texture, and personal style – especially as you embrace your fifties and beyond. "There's a reason the bob has never gone out of style: it's elegant fresh, polished but never stiff," says Elliot Bute, stylist at Hershesons Fitzrovia. "This iconic cut transcends fleeting trends. For women over 50, a well-executed bob offers something even more powerful. It flatters, uplifts, and simplifies, all while making a confident statement. Whether you're drawn to sleek lines or soft waves, natural texture or a precision cut, the right bob can refresh your entire look, without sacrificing ease." Here, expert hairstylists share the best bob haircuts for women over fifty, along with tips on maintaining them and key questions to ask before committing to the cut. Why a bob haircut is the best style for women over 50 If you're fifty or older and looking to elevate your signature hairstyle, a bob could be the perfect choice for you. These are the cuts expert hairstylists recommend the most. "The classic bob is one of the best styles for women over 50; it's a timeless, flattering haircut," say Kamila Pruszek, co-owner of Blue Tit Portobello. "It works beautifully without bangs and looks chic with a middle part. This gives you flexibility to flip your hair from side to side, adding texture and volume. It also looks elegant tucked behind the ears, highlighting your face and neck." She adds that the layered bob is another great option, particularly for those with wavy or textured hair. "Layers add movement and volume and can be customised to frame your face perfectly. For the best results, have your stylist cut it while your hair is naturally dry; this helps shape it to your hair's natural texture. It's a fun, light, and versatile style that works with all hair types." What to know before getting a bob for women over 50 While a bob haircut is not limited to a specific age group or hair texture, there are some textural changes to consider when getting one of these coveted cuts. "Hair changes over time; it may become finer, drier, or more delicate," says Bute. "The key to a flattering bob is choosing a style that enhances your features while respecting your hair's evolving needs." A great stylist will tailor your bob to your natural texture, he says. While fine hair types may benefit from internal layering to create fullness, coarser or wiry textures often require weight removal to avoid stiffness or unwanted puffiness. "Length and shape matters, too," he adds. "A well-cut bob can elongate the neck, soften a strong jawline, or emphasise cheekbones. The trick is proportion and balancing the cut so it complements rather than competes with your natural features." How to find the best bob for women over 50 According to hairdresser Neil Moodie, shorter, sharper bobs are ideal for women over fifty as they help address hair that has lost density over time. "Bobs help to make the hair look thicker and with more volume," he explains. "The length should be determined by what is the best length for your face shape by your stylist. Any length between the chin and shoulders would be the best range to go by. If your face is rounder then keep the bob a little longer." If your face is longer, Moodie recommends keeping your bob haircut shorter to balance your face shape. For fine hair, long layers can add some lift, though he suggests avoiding a cut that's too short. How to maintain a bob for women over 50 Looking for tips to maintain your fresh new trim? Here are the key points to keep in mind. "While bobs are generally low maintenance in terms of the cut itself, they do demand some styling to keep their shape," says Bute. "If you prefer minimal effort, opt for a texture and length that works with your natural movement. If you enjoy styling, you'll find sleeker versions rewarding." When it comes to in-shower care consider upgrading your shampoo and conditioner. "As hair ages, it loses moisture," he says. "Look for shampoos and conditioners enriched with keratin, peptides, or hyaluronic acid to restore elasticity and shine. A weekly hydrating mask can be a game changer." Reduce your hot tool styling sessions where possible, using a round brush and a lightweight mousse like the Hershesons Zhoosh Foam or textured mist instead. When it comes to styling, he advises that the goal is to look polished but without feeling too rigid. "Work with your hair's natural texture as opposed to working against it," he suggests. Remember not to neglect your scalp, too. "Healthy hair starts at the root," he says. "As we age, scalp health becomes even more important. lightweight oils, and scalp massages can boost circulation and support hair growth." How often you need a trim depends on your hair's condition and chosen style, but generally, every 8-12 weeks is ideal, according to Moodie. The five best bob haircuts for women over 50 to try this summer Here, Bute outlines the trending bob haircuts for women over fifty, and how to wear them for summer 2025. The classic bob "This chin-length style is the definition of a timeless cut," he says. "Worn straight or with a bend, it frames the jawline beautifully and lends instant sophistication. Think of it as the little black dress of a haircut; it's versatile, flattering, and always appropriate." The long bob (lob) "Hitting just at the collarbone, the lob offers the best of both worlds: the ease of a bob with the styling flexibility of longer hair. When worn with soft waves, it feels fresh and never overdone." The layered bob Finer hair? According to Bute, layering can make all the difference. "They build volume and movement without heaviness. It's especially effective in adding softness around the face." The French bob "Often skimming the jawline and styled with a soft fringe or undone texture, the French bob feels both fashion-forward and wearable," he says. The curly or textured bob "Whether your hair is wavy or curly, this is a bob that celebrates shape rather than fighting it and feels both modern and liberating. Strategic layering keeps the curls light and sculpted, not bulky," he shares.

Princess Anne's Son Peter Phillips Is Engaged to Harriet Sperling After a Year of Dating
Peter is the eldest grandchild of the late Queen Gist It must be royal engagement season—just one day after Princess Diana's niece Lady Eliza Spencer confirmed her engagement on July 31, Peter Phillips—the son of Princess Anne and eldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth—announced his engagement on August 1. Peter is set to marry Harriet Sperling, an NHS nurse, though no wedding date has been set as of yet. The announcement comes four years after Peter's divorce from Autumn Kelly—with whom he shares two daughters—was finalized in one day after Princess Diana's niece Lady Eliza Spencer confirmed her engagement to longtime boyfriend Channing Millerd, Queen Elizabeth's eldest grandchild Peter Phillips—the son of Princess Anne—announced his engagement to Harriet Sperling on August 1. Peter and Harriet, an NHS nurse, have been dating for about a year. Peter was previously married to Autumn Kelly, whom he wed in 2008 and separated from in 2020. They finalized their divorce the next year and share two daughters, Savannah and Isla. Harriet, too, is a parent, and is mom to daughter Georgia. 'Mr. Peter Phillips, the son of HRH The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips, and Ms. Harriet Sperling, daughter of the late Mr. Rupert Sanders and Mrs. Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire, have today confirmed their official engagement,' a statement issued to Hello! on Friday read. 'Both families were informed jointly of the announcement and were delighted with the wonderful news of their engagement,' it continued. 'Their Majesties The King and Queen, The Prince and Princess of Wales have been informed of the announcement.' The statement added that no wedding date has been set as of yet. Though three of Queen Elizabeth's four children went through a divorce, Peter is the first (and, heretofore, only) grandchild of the Queen to divorce. Six of the Queen's eight grandchildren are married, with the two children of Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh being significantly younger than their cousins. At the time of Peter's separation, a statement said (per People), 'Whilst this is a sad day for Peter and Autumn, they continue to put the well-being and upbringing of their wonderful daughters Savannah and Isla first and foremost. Both Peter and Autumn are pleased to have resolved matters amicably with the children firmly at the forefront of those thoughts and decisions.' It added, 'Peter and Autumn have requested privacy and consideration for their children as the family adapts to a new chapter in their lives.' Following his divorce, Peter dated Lindsay Wallace for three years, and after their split, Peter and Harriet debuted as a couple in May 2024 at the Badminton Horse Trials. Since then, Harriet has accompanied Peter to a number of events, often mingling with members of the royal family at occasions like Royal Ascot. In their engagement photo shared with Hello!, Harriet's ring steals the show as the bride-to-be wears a frilly white top and skirt. 'This is wonderful news for Peter and Harriet, but also the wider royal family,' Hello!'s royal editor Emily Nash said. 'Peter is close to the King and to his cousins, and Harriet seems to have been warmly welcomed into the fold.' 'The signs that this was serious have been there for some time, and seeing Harriet taking part in the royal procession at Royal Ascot this year convinced many royal watchers an engagement was on the cards,' Nash added. Royal photographer James Whatling agreed, telling the outlet, 'We were waiting for this news. You can't watch this couple for too long without noticing how close they are—they're so tactile and they're clearly so in love. It was only a matter of time.' According to Tobias Kormind, co-founder of 77 Diamonds, Harriet's ring 'appears to be a timeless trilogy design, likely showcasing a central oval or round diamond, flanked by trapeze-cut or triangular side stones.'
