Wembley stadium launches probe after hundreds of fans ‘sneaked into Oasis concert via disabled door’
Wembley Stadium have said they are launching an investigation after claims hundreds of fans sneaked into an Oasis gig using a disabled entrance.
Allegations regarding a security breach at the stadium have been raised regarding the duo's recent series of gigs at the iconic venue.
Up to 200 people paid £350 each to be sneaked into one of the concerts via a disabled entrance, according to The Sun.
A large of group of people used the same tickets to enter the stadium, where they were then given VIP tickets, according to information told to the newspaper by two fans.
A spokesman for Wembley Stadium said: "Entering Wembley Stadium without a ticket is a serious offence and we are investigating these allegations.
"If they are substantiated, we will refer our evidence to the police."
The scam was allegedly run by two women who had "ten groups of 20" waiting.

One of the concertgoers told The Sun: "We were told to go to the disabled door at entrance M, even though our tickets said entrance F.
"We showed our stamped hands to the person on the door, they scanned the tickets, even though we all had the same one, and let us in.
"Another member of staff then handed us a golden circle wristband and that was it.
"There were zero security searches. We just walked straight in."

Oasis' series of concerts at Wembley ran from July 25 to August 3.
It was the first time Liam and Noel Gallagher appeared together onstage at Wembley since July 12 2009, when they performed as part of their Dig Out Your Soul tour.
This weekend the brothers are playing at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, followed by Dublin's Croke Park.
Later in the year, the band will head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America.
Oasis fans were overjoyed when they announced their reunion tour in August last year, 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009 which saw Noel quit following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
The band's Wembley gigs have already made the news after a tragic event during which a man fall to his death in the stadium during one of the concerts.
Police and ambulance crews were called to the scene on August 2 and found a man "with injuries consistent with a fall".
The Met Police said he was "sadly pronounced dead at the scene".
