Two punters told The Sun how a large group were able to all use a copy of the same ticket to get into the North London stadium through a disabled entrance.
They were then handed wristbands giving them access to the VIP area at the front of the stage as Liam and Noel Gallagher banged out hits including Stand By Me and Slide Away.
The two women masterminding the scam are said to have told them they had 'ten groups of 20' waiting — meaning around 200 are likely to have been sneaked in.
One of the fans told us: '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.'
Last night Wembley said cops could be called in to investigate.
A spokesman said: '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.'

The Sun has tracked down the two women who appear to be running the scam but we have chosen not to name them.
Using Facebook groups dedicated to fans buying and selling tickets for Oasis shows, they approached numerous people desperate to see the band.

One message reads: 'Hey if you're still looking for tickets let me know I can meet you in person and no payment until you're inside!'
The punter who told The Sun about the scam said he was contacted on social media and told to pay a £10 deposit into one of the scammer's Monzo bank accounts.
Once it was paid, he was put into a WhatsApp group.

He explained: 'Everyone in the group was told to go to the Sainsbury's shop at Wembley Way on Saturday.
'There were so many people there I got talking to them and we were all there for the same reason.
'Two women came and met us. They drew a shape on our hands and then a ticket was put into the WhatsApp group which we were to use. One of the women told me they were in a hurry because they had 'ten groups of 20 people' to get into the stadium.
"They told us all to go to entrance M and head to the disabled entrance.'
Hey if you're still looking for tickets let me know I can meet you in person and no payment until you're inside!
One message
The man, along with a friend and others in his group, went to the area at 5pm.
He claims they were ushered inside after their tickets — all copies of the same one — were scanned with no questions asked.
He added: 'A girl scanned my ticket and some bloke inside gave me a wristband and that was that.

'We were supposed to pay inside and transfer the money to one of the women's Monzo bank accounts but loads of my group didn't do it.'
A message shared with The Sun from the WhatsApp group reveals one of the women giving her bank details again, along with her full name.
She writes: 'Transfer to these details once inside. Don't forget.
'Someone is waiting inside and one payment is made you're free to do whatever.'
The second woman, believed to be a relative of hers, then asks the group: 'Did all u lot get in??'
We later contacted one of the scammers to ask about getting into Sunday night's Wembley gig.

Using encrypted messaging app Signal, she said: '£400 a ticket but I'm taking payment before anyone goes in! Yesterday was a f***ing s**tshow. Not doing that again.'
Another punter, who bought tickets for Sunday night from the same scammers, told The Sun they were told to go to the disabled door.
And a gig-goer told us their brother used the scam on Saturday night, paying £350.
They said: 'Apparently loads of people didn't pay when they got in.'
The Sun understands the ticket scam did not work on Sunday evening for the people we spoke to.
Wembley has suffered security scandals before. In 2021 a steward helped ticketless fans into England's Euros footie final clash with Italy.
Last night Oasis played their first of three shows in Edinburgh.

Fresh Strictly drug allegations as 10-year show veteran claims he was offered cocaine by one of it stars at wild party
The whistleblower claims on two separate occasions bags of white power were found in a smoking area and in the men's toilets STRICTLY SHOCK Fresh Strictly drug allegations as 10-year show veteran claims he was offered cocaine by one of it stars at wild party STRICTLY has been hit by fresh drug allegations from a former veteran worker on the show — including claims he was offered cocaine by one of its stars. The whistleblower, who worked on the family hit for ten years until 2023, said he saw 'partying' at the Elstree studios after live filming. Advertisement 3 A whistleblower, who worked on Strictly for ten years until 2023, alleges one of the show's stars offered him cocaine (stock image) 3 The BBC has launched an inquiry into allegations of cocaine abuse on Strictly by two stars (stock image) Credit: Getty He alleged stars and crew were 'drinking and taking drugs'. He claimed on two separate occasions bags of white power, suspected to be cocaine, were found in a smoking area and also in the men's toilets. And the ex-production crew member alleges one of the Strictly stars offered him cocaine at a Blackpool show after-party. We have passed on his allegations to the BBC. Advertisement It comes after The Sun on Sunday revealed last week The Sun on Sunday revealed last week the BBC had launched an inquiry into allegations of cocaine abuse on Strictly by two stars. BBC bosses have hired external lawyers Pinsent Masons to speak to former contestants, professional dancers and crew. We told how one star accused another of being 'off their face' on drugs. And a celebrity had told how it was 'well known on the show that two stars took cocaine . . . it was talked about widely among the cast'. Advertisement Now, in the latest claims, the long-serving former production crew member, told The Sun on Sunday: 'Strictly is full of partying and drug -taking. BBC launches inquiry into damning allegations of drug consumption on flagship show Strictly Come Dancing 'The main partying is on site at Elstree after filming of the live show has finished. Boozing and drug taking goes on until 3am, sometimes 4am. 'The smoking area outside is a hive of activity. Cocaine gets taken there. 'I remember a bag of cocaine was found in the outside smoking area at Elstree and handed in to a senior producer. That person said, 'Leave it on my desk', no eyebrows were raised. Advertisement 'On another occasion, a small bag of cocaine was found in the male toilets at Elstree. It was widely discussed by people working on the show. 'But in some ways it was seen as quite normal, to find that sort of thing. "People think they can get away with it.' Strictly is full of partying and drug taking Whistleblower The whistleblower came forward after reading our story last Sunday and learning of the BBC-led inquiry. Advertisement He claimed the annual show filmed at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom was 'a particularly big celebration' for the cast and crew. He said: 'Blackpool was always a big party night. I was offered cocaine by a star at an after-show party. Lots of people would go back to the hotel. 'It was a closed-off party, just for the cast and crew. It went on until 5am, even to 6am, it was insane. People were wired and you could see it in their eyes. 'There was lots of champagne and Prosecco too, loads of bottles of it.' Advertisement He added that he thought it was 'well known' on the programme that one of the stars took cocaine, and that he felt they needed help. He said: 'They had a real problem with cocaine, lots of people spoke about it.' Referring to these latest allegations, a BBC spokesman said: 'We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. 'We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns.' Advertisement 3 The BBC is preparing to air its 23rd series of Strictly next month Credit: BBC Last night, a BBC source said they would look into the ex-worker's allegations and asked us to put him in touch with them — after the former worker said he was considering talking to the investigation team. It came as the BBC is prepared to launch its 23rd series of Strictly next month. The Corporation is hoping for a scandal-free show after previous ones were hit by numerous controversies. Advertisement They included Sherlock actress Amanda Abbington accusing Giovanni Pernice of bullying her and Graziano Di Prima being sacked for kicking his celebrity partner Zara McDermott. Last weekend, The Sun on Sunday revealed drugs allegations were made in a legal submission to the BBC in March, by law firm Russells, on behalf of celebrity contestant Wynne Evans — who was axed from the Strictly live tour after he was recorded making an inappropriate sexual comment. It was understood others have also reported to the BBC allegations of drug taking on Strictly. A source said: 'It's been an extremely difficult time for everyone connected to Strictly but, to be fair, the BBC acted promptly on The Sun's drug allegations and brought in external lawyers to help with their investigation. Advertisement 'They're clearly determined to clean up the show, which of course is a hugely popular family show, so it's no real surprise they are taking these allegations seriously and holding a proper inquiry. 'With the new Strictly series about to start, and the latest crop of celebrities being unveiled soon, the BBC will want it all to run smoothly.'

New Lord of Slane Castle says supergroup Oasis would be welcome back at iconic venue
'I remember that one very well and there's great photos of them back at the castle and lovely footage of Noel talking about how important Slane was as a gig for them' The new Lord of Slane Castle has said that supergroup Oasis would be welcomed back to the iconic venue for a show next year. Alex Conyngham, son of the late Lord Henry Mount Charles, revealed to the Sunday World that he intends to continue running gigs and is chasing a major act to perform at the Meath venue next year. Asked if Oasis would be in the frame, Alex told us: 'If they wanted to come back to Slane I would certainly be very willing to have them. The boys would always be welcome here. 'Slane was always a great gig for them. It's actually just gone 30 years since they supported REM here, which was an amazing gig. 'I remember that one very well and there's great photos of them back at the castle and lovely footage of Noel talking about how important Slane was as a gig for them. 'That support of REM was one of the biggest crowds they'd played to up to that time. And then they just took off. 'And when they headlined in 2009 I could hardly speak the next day because I had sung all the words to the songs…the atmosphere was just unbelievable. 'So, yes, they'd always be welcome back here. They now have a multi-generational fanbase and that makes for a really lovely crowd scenario as well.' Alex, who is now running Slane Castle with his wife, Carina – the couple also live in the castle with their three children 'and three dogs' – says he is passionate about carrying on his father's legacy, particularly the music events. The late Lord Henry Mount Charles Noel Gallagher before Slane 2009 News in 90 seconds - 10th August 2025 'We had a wonderful relationship,' Alex says of Lord Henry, who died in June after a long battle with cancer. 'Like all parents and kids there were moments we tested each other a bit, but that was healthy. But he was my dad, he was my friend, he was my business partner, so we did a lot together and the vast majority of the time we got on extremely well. 'Occasionally I might have needed a kick up the arse or a put down and it was probably well deserved, in fairness.' Did you get a sense that he had trust and confidence in you taking over the business? 'I spent his last night with him, it was just the two of us, I slept in the room in the hospital on the floor beside him and we actually talked until very late that night,' Alex reveals. 'We chit-chatted and we did get a bit serious at times and I think and hope he did feel confident about myself and Carina carrying it forward. 'He reiterated a few different messages, but the one he was very clear on always is, it's not a question of ownership with a place like Slane, you don't own the place and hopefully it doesn't own you, but it's about looking after it for the wider public.' Alex (50) grew up in Slane Castle and he recalls being a six-year-old and seeing crowds running through the field where cattle had been grazing when the gates opened for the first concert in 1981 with Bob Dylan topping the bill. 'Watching this torrent of people flooding down, it was like a sea,' he says. 'There was also the buzz of the soundcheck beforehand and I'd never heard big noise like that aged six. It was an extraordinary experience from the get-go.' Alex recalled how his father would consult his teenage children about acts he was contemplating for Slane 'and would swear us to secrecy.' And he vividly remembers meeting one of his own idols, Slash from Guns N' Roses, when the American supergroup played Slane in 1990. 'That Guns N' Roses gig in '92 was a little fraught because the band were late on stage and myself and Dad started getting very nervous because the crowd were getting, understandably, a bit agitated,' he says. 'We went down to them to find out what was going on. Slash, who was definitely one of my all-time heroes as a teenager, got me a chair and handed me a beer, which was a very surreal experience. 'We said, 'this is lovely, Slash, thank you so much, but where the hell is Axl?'' 'It turned out that he was still in his hotel room in Dublin. There was a panic then and we basically said, 'if you are not on stage in the next half-an-hour/40 minutes there's probably going to be a riot and that's going to rest on your head. So whatever you have to do, please just make it happen.' 'Axl came straight from the hotel, landed in a helicopter, walked on stage and opened with Night Train. So it was amazing. 'In fairness, when they came back and played in 2017 I met Axl and we kind of laughed about that. And he was very courteous and apologetic…and he put on an amazing show. 'Dad was very sick and it was the only concert he ever missed…we came very close to losing him then in 2017. 'There was a lovely moment during the gig where Axl said, 'big shout out to Lord Henry who is in hospital and not very well at the moment.' There was a big, lovely roar from the crowd. 'Then he added, 'but I'm not going to dedicate that last song to him,' which was Knocking On Heaven's Door.' SLANE Castle will host CAIM, a contemporary art programme, from September 12-30.
