Oasis fans have said getting accessible tickets for Wembley Stadium is an “impossible task”, as they tried to call one phone number thousands of times.

General tickets went on sale for the band’s comeback tour at 9am on Saturday, and fans requesting accessible tickets were advised to call a phone number for the Wembley concerts.But Frances Mobbs said trying to get accessible tickets for her son was an “impossible task”.

Mrs Mobbs, from Norfolk, wanted to buy four tickets for her son Nick Mobbs, 41, his carer and two family members, for the concert on July 26.She sent through supporting documents for the accessible tickets and tried to call repeatedly for two hours when the phone line opened. “My son has been a fan from day one, like millions of other people, of course, we’re trying to get tickets,” she said.“I know I’m one of thousands and thousands and thousands of people, but there’s one dedicated phone line which is constantly engaged or saying we are unable to complete your call.“I’ve been calling for two hours, I keep repeating and repeating.

It’s frustrating, totally and utterly frustrating.”Mrs Mobbs, 67, said her son, who is paraplegic and has spina bifida and hydrocephalus, had major surgery this year, and seeing Oasis is a “bucket list type thing”.She added: “He’s not able to go in the crowd, he’s in a wheelchair.
