Ballot registration for Oasis Croke Park tickets opens ahead of general sale

Ballot registration has opened for the sale of tickets to the two Oasis concerts in Croke Park next summer, in advance of Saturday’s general sale, the band announced.
A post to the band’s X page said: “Register for the UK and Ireland 2025 tour presale ballot. A ticket presale will be held on Friday 30th August, in advance of Saturday’s general sale. To ensure the maximum number of fans have a fair opportunity to access tickets, applicants will be selected for the presale via a ballot. Ballot registration is open now and will close at 7pm BST, this Wednesday 28th August.”
The post added: “Successful applicants will receive an email with full access information the morning of Friday 30th August. Success in the ballot will not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis.”
A second post said Confirmation emails “may be delayed” due to “an extremely high volume of entries”, adding “everyone who has correctly filled out the ballot form before 7pm Wednesday 28th August will receive the confirmation email”.
