Wembley Stadium investigating alleged ticket scam at Oasis gig
The Mancunian rockers recently played a series of dates at the iconic venue as part of their Live 25 tour.
According to The Sun, up to 200 people were asked for £350 each to be sneaked into one of the gigs via a disabled entrance.
Two concertgoers told the paper a large group was able to use a copy of the same ticket to get into the stadium, where they were then handed wristbands giving them access to the VIP area at the front of the stage.
They said two women who allegedly orchestrated the scam told them they had 'ten groups of 20' waiting.
One of the concertgoers told The Sun: 'We were given our tickets, which were all the same, and a woman drew a shape on our hands.
'We were told to go to the disabled door at entrance M, even though our tickets said entrance F.
'We showed our stamped hands to the person on the door, they scanned the tickets, even though we all had the same one, and let us in.
'Another member of staff then handed us a golden circle wristband and that was it. There were zero security searches. We just walked straight in.'
A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said in a statement: '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' run of concerts at Wembley between July 25 and August 3 was the first time Liam and Noel Gallagher appeared together onstage at the London venue since July 12 2009, when they performed during the Dig Out Your Soul tour.
The band are playing at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium this weekend, followed by Dublin's Croke Park.
The group will head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America later in the year.
Oasis announced their reunion tour in August last year, 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009, which saw Noel quit following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Rail bosses given ‘criminal offence' warning over fare dodger prosecutions
Train company bosses have been warned by the Government they could be breaking the law if they allow unqualified staff to prosecute alleged fare dodgers. A Department for Transport memo sent to operators states it is a 'criminal offence' to let non-lawyers act as prosecutors in court cases with passengers accused of not buying the correct ticket. The use of these lay prosecutors in those circumstances is not legal, the advice warns. There have been a series of high-profile cases in which passengers faced prosecution over small amounts of money. In one example, a passenger was threatened with court action for accidentally selecting a 16-25 railcard ticket when they held a 26-30 railcard, which provides the same discount. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has written to train operators stating that 'any enforcement must be proportionate and not punish those making genuine mistakes'. She added: 'It is your responsibility to ensure that you are adequately protecting revenue in a cost effective but lawful way.' The Cabinet minister said she accepted the recommendations of regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), which included creating consistency in how passengers are treated when ticket issues arise, and ensuring passengers have clearer information about tickets. Industry body the Rail Delivery Group has estimated that fare dodging creates £350 million to £400 million in lost revenue each year. A Government source said: 'Fare evasion costs the taxpayer hundreds of thousands of pounds a year and dents confidence in our railway, so we're dead serious about tackling it. 'But enforcement must be proportionate. We can't have operators going after an older person faced with an incomprehensible system, or a student who has made an honest mistake. 'We're asking train companies to make sure they are prosecuting fare dodgers properly the first time. 'We'll set out our full response to the ORR report in due course, and Great British Railways will simplify fares and ticketing – restoring a railway the public can be proud of again.' The Government is bringing operators into public ownership as contracts expire. GBR is an upcoming public sector body that will oversee Britain's rail infrastructure and train operation.
