With the Oasis Heaton Park concerts drawing ever closer fans have crossed yet another ballot as standing areas have been allocated.

When it comes to the hotly anticipated reunion gigs at Heaton Park it’s been one lottery after another ever since the agonising wait in the queue to try and get a ticket at all.

Now, fans are eagerly awaiting the latest update as the concert’s organisers confirmed that the different standing areas have now been allocated.

Fans who were lucky enough to bag a ticket for the reunion shows will now find out which area of the audience they will be.

This is between the sought after front area of the show, to get a chance to get up closer to the Gallaghers onstage, or in the general admission area further from the stage.

An update from the Oasis Instagram account told fans: “Ticketmaster is sending [an] email to the lucky winners of the ballot for front standing area at Heaton Park gigs.”

Attendees previously had the option to apply for the front, which was allocated separately for safety.

An email sent to ticketholders said: “The Safety Advisory Group for the Heaton Park shows have divided the concert arena into two areas: a general admission area and a front standing area each with a dedicated ticket and entry gate issued in advance.

“This is to ensure fan safety and improve the fan experience whilst entering the site.

“All general admission ticketholders are being given the opportunity to opt in to gain access to the front standing area. If the number of opt-in requests exceeds availability, tickets will be allocated at random from the pool of applicants.”

Now, fans are reacting excitedly as their front-row position is confirmed.

Taking to social media, one lucky fan wrote: “I got front! Does it mean you’re guaranteed front or it’s still first come first served but just for people with the allocation.”

Another posted: “Got front standing in my email – see you all there on the 20th!”

A third wrote: “I got mine, Front allocated standing, delighted.”

Unfortunately others were not so lucky and were allocated to the general admission area.

One disappointed fan wrote: “General admission for the nights of 11th and 16th. Definitely a let down.”

Another posted: “Got GA it’s an absolute joke, people paying all this money and not even getting the choice of going earlier to get front standing.

“I get it’s for safety but just do it the traditional way instead of this ballot s***e.”

One fan got general admission, but said they’re still excited, writing: “Well, didn’t get the email. gonna have an amazing time in anyway, but it is a bit of a disappointment.”

The shows will happen at Heaton Park on July 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20, with each area allocated a ticket and entry gate to ensure fan safety.
