“Tickets will be sold by a staggered, invitation-only ballot process,” the band said. “Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many UK fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on sale with Ticketmaster.”

In a statement issued to PA Media, and cited by the BBC, the band said decisions on ticketing and pricing were the responsibility of promoters and management.

Oasis “at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used” in the sale of tickets for the initial dates, the band said.

Many fans who waited for more than three hours thinking they would pay the initially advertised rate of 148.50 pounds ($195.10) ended up paying more than double at 355.20 pounds.
