Fans selected for the private ballot for Oasis tickets have been notified this afternoon (September 13) the band has confirmed.
Noel and Liam Gallagher announced last month they had put their acrimonious split behind them, confirming Oasis' long-awaited reunion after 15 years.
Making the announcement, the brothers said: “The great wait is over" before revealing a 2025 UK and Ireland tour which will include dates in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
Extra dates were added after tickets sold out within a day of going on sale earlier this month.
While others were shocked by standard tickets for the reunion tour as the prices doubled from £148 to £355 on Ticketmaster, prompting the Government and the UK’s competition watchdog to pledge they will look into the use of dynamic pricing.
Oasis confirms all private ballot emails have now been sent
Oasis revealed last weekend a private ballot would take place for tickets to the additional dates at Wembley Stadium on September 27 and 28 next year.
The band said they hoped the new private ballot ticket sale strategy will make “the process far smoother for fans by reducing the stress and time it takes” to obtain tickets.
They stated those selected would receive a code via an Oasismynet email with details and timings for the final ticket sale.

"Codes were sent via the email address associated with their Ticketmaster account and ballot registration.
"Demand for these shows is unprecedented. A code does not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis."
Despite the "unprecedented" demand for Oasis tickets and fans calling for more shows, the band earlier this week ruled out any further UK dates as well as a return to Knebworth Park
