However Ticketmaster is to be probed by watchdog over the ticket sales after fans were left furious at the ‘dynamic pricing’.
Thousands were left without - so two more London shows at Wembley Stadium on September 27 and 28 have been added to the list.
But only those who are successful in a private invite-only ballot will be able to get their hands on tickets.
Earlier this week the band announced they won’t be adding any more UK dates to their reunion tour.
They also ruled out returning to Knebworth Park "in the future", despite insiders revealing that the brothers had been seriously considering playing the iconic venue.
However Liam has appeared to confirm that Oasis will take their tour over to the US with a cryptic message.
He fulled rumours by revealing he 'loves' America to an eager US-based fan.
They asked: "Liam I know you're not the biggest fans of us but is Oasis coming to AMERICA."
Liam simply replied: "I love America and I know deep down you love ME."
Oasis formed in 1991 and split in 2009.
