But the deal will only run until 2pm[/caption]

The scheme from Fulham was first revealed when they hosted Leicester at Craven Cottage on August 24.

It saw pints of beer, pale ale, Guinness and wine being sold for just £1 before 2pm in a bid to avoid stadium chaos after rolling out a new electronic ticketing system.

The club said they were anticipating “queues” while fans get to grips with the new system, and struck a deal to encourage fans to arrive early to minimise any teething issues.

And they have now confirmed they will be running the scheme once again when they host West Ham at 3pm today.

The club have confirmed stands will open up to three hours before kick-off.

The Riverside will open three hours before kick-off (12:00), the Johnny Haynes and Hammersmith Stands will open two hours before kick-off (13:00) and the Putney End will open an hour and a half before kick-off (13:30).

However, while their opening match saw soft drinks reduced to just 50p, journalist Jack Kelly has reported soft and hot drinks will return to their normal matchday prices for the London derby.

It costs £2 for a cup of tea, £2.50 for coffee, hot chocolate or a Bovril, while a can of Coke, Diet Coke, Fanta or water costs £3.50.

After 2pm a beer will return to its normal retail price of £5.50, while cider, Guinness and bitter will cost £5.

A can of wine will cost £5.30 once the early bird offer is over.

OASIS fans have once again been left furious, branding the final ballot sale for the last Wembley gigs a ‘shambles’

Tickets for the two final Wembley Stadium gigs next September went on sale this morning at 8.30am on Ticketmaster.

The latest sale was via invite-only ballot on Ticketmaster[/caption]

This time around, they were invite-only, and only available to Oasis fans who received a special ballot code by 9pm last night.

The band also snubbed the dynamic pricing fiasco, which led to a huge backlash when the general sale tickets went on sale last month.

Yet despite this, many fans were still gutted this morning as they reported technical difficulties on Ticketmaster, as well as touts flogging tickets on resale sites for over £1K within minutes of the new tickets going on sale.

Several disappointed fans raged that, despite having the ballot code, Ticketmaster wasn’t playing ball for them.

One raged on reddit: “Getting this message after getting the code and getting through the queue…

“Something went wrong… An error occurred and we could not reserve your tickets.”

Another fumed on X: “What an absolute shitshow again. @TicketmasterUK you are total garbage!!!”

A third screamed: “Well, didn’t Ticketmaster mess up. What a joke.”

A fourth who lost out sobbed: “Never wanting to buy another concert ticket again.”

Others were raging that they hadn’t got ballot codes, yet within minutes of the new tickets going on Ticketmaster, they were already on resale sites like Viagogo for hiked prices.

Some were going for as much as £1,300 by 8.38am.

One took to X to vent: “So f****** predictable. Ticketmaster are a shambles. Proper fans can’t get tickets but the “invite only ballot” tickets are straight on viagogo for over a grand 8 minutes after going on sale.”

A second agreed, weighing in: “Literally minutes and they’re up already whilst us people who genuinely want to see you got nothing.”

Others had a better experience, however, and commented that getting tickets was a much less painful experience this time around.

“I had a much better experience, 5001 ahead of me when I joined the queue. 2 standing tickets paid for 8 minutes later,” one commented on reddit.

Another seconded that: “Eventually it worked and I got 2 tickets!”

The final Wembley gigs are on September 27 and September 28 2025.

Prices range from £74.25 – £206.25, including fees, on Ticketmaster.

They go on sale in three 90 minute blocks today.

The first runs from 8.30 am until 10am.

The second takes place from 12 midday to 1.30pm, and the third will kick off at 3.30pm, lasting until 5pm.

There is also a two ticket per person policy this time around.
