Investigation launched into alleged Oasis ticket scam
An investigation has been launched into reports that up to 200 people gained unauthorised entry to Oasis concerts at Wembley Stadium. Individuals allegedly paid £350 each to be smuggled in through a disabled entrance, using duplicated tickets and receiving VIP wristbands from security. During the Wembley shows, six people were arrested for suspected unauthorised entry, and 24 were ejected from the venue. Wembley Stadium confirmed they are investigating the allegations and will refer evidence to the police if substantiated. The incidents occurred during Oasis's five sold-out Wembley performances, part of their 2025 reunion tour, which also saw high hotel prices in Edinburgh due to clashes with the Fringe festival.
