As many as 200 were asked for £350 each to be snuck in via a disabled entrance, The Sun was told.

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!

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.
