Oasis fans' anger at Manchester gig ticket plan

Fans have to opt-in to a ballot to see the Oasis gig in the front viewing area

Outraged Oasis fans who have spent hundreds of pounds for the band's homecoming gig in Manchester are complaining that they have to enter a ballot to get close to the stage at Heaton Park.

An email to gig goers from Ticketmaster said the safety adviser for the shows has divided the concert area into two areas - general admission and a front standing zone - each with its own tickets.

Fans have until Friday to opt-in to a ballot for tickets for the front area, prompting one fan to ask on X: "Are they actively trying to ruin it?"

Ticketmaster has been contacted for a comment.
