When Oasis took to the stage at Wembley Stadium for one of their much-anticipated reunion shows, you’d expect the crowd to be made up entirely of ticket-holding fans. But it turns out that wasn’t quite the case.
A huge security breach allowed as many as 200 ticketless fans to sneak in, paying handsomely to enjoy the gig without official entry.
The Sneaky Scheme Behind the Security Breach
According to insider tips, a pair of women masterminded a clever scam.
They sold spots to groups of around 20 fans each — charging about £350 per person — and got them into the stadium through a disabled access entrance.
The catch? These fans all used copies of the same ticket to get through security.
One fan explained how the scam worked: after being handed a ticket, a woman marked a shape on their hands.
Then, instead of entering through the ticketed entrance, the group was told to use the disabled door at entrance M.
When they arrived, staff scanned the tickets (even though many were identical) and let them in without any security searches.
VIP Access Without a Ticket
Once inside, these lucky gatecrashers were given wristbands that granted them access to the VIP golden circle, right at the front of the stage.
Imagine watching Liam and Noel Gallagher perform up close — all without having paid for a legitimate ticket!
Official Response and Security Concerns
Wembley Stadium is taking this breach seriously.
Over the five-night run of Oasis gigs there, authorities arrested six people trying to get in without tickets and ejected 24 others.
A Wembley spokesperson said the stadium is investigating the incident and could refer evidence to the police, calling it a “serious offence.”
Oasis Fever Sweeps London and Beyond
The excitement around Oasis’s reunion tour has been electric.
The band’s first London gig in over 16 years at Wembley attracted fans camping out 12 hours before showtime.
Ticket prices ranged from £151 up to £564 or more for premium seats.
Oasis Takes Edinburgh by Storm
The Gallagher brothers’ energy wasn’t confined to London.
On the same tour, their first Scottish show in 16 years filled Edinburgh’s stadium with 70,000 fans.
The city buzzed with excitement — pubs were packed, and fans wore all kinds of Oasis merch.
Even outside the venue, the atmosphere was alive with music, bagpipes, and lookalikes greeting the crowds.
Generations United by Music
One striking sight was seeing parents bring their children to share in the experience.
People like TV presenter Gordon Smart brought his 15-year-old son, while families like Sam and Nicky Bidder took their daughters along, eager for them to connect with the band that defined an era.
Sam shared, “We missed out on seeing Oasis when we were teenagers, so it’s amazing to experience them now with our kids.
These are the songs we grew up with, and it’s special to pass that on.”
The Reunion Tour Continues
With 41 dates worldwide, Oasis’s reunion tour is clearly a massive hit, reigniting the passion for their music across generations.
Despite the security challenges at Wembley, fans everywhere are soaking up the chance to relive the magic of one of rock’s most iconic bands.
