Wembley probes mass entry at Oasis concert

Wembley Stadium is investigating claims that up to 200 fans gained entry to an Oasis concert without valid tickets, according to The Sun. Reporters described a scheme where a copied ticket was used to access a disabled entrance, with a group reportedly handed wristbands to reach the VIP area and receive front-row access, and security checks were reportedly not performed.

Wembley issued a statement saying entering without a ticket is a serious offense and that investigators will refer evidence to the police if substantiated. The Oasis shows at Wembley were part of the Live 25 tour, with future dates planned in Edinburgh and Dublin and more in coming months.

The incident highlights a gap in venue gate safety at high-demand events. It raises questions about how tickets are validated and how staff verify entrances, especially at disabled-access points. If confirmed, the allegations could draw attention to the cost and complexity of large tours and the risk of fraud.

Beyond the immediate safety issues, the episode could affect public trust and insurance requirements for big venues. It may push tighter procedures at future Oasis dates and similar shows and shape how fans evaluate the security promises of big tours.
