Win Knebworth Oasis tickets and £5,000 in Virgin Radio draw

Virgin Radio and talkSPORT offer one winner two Front Standing Golden Circle tickets to Oasis at Knebworth Park on 11 September 2027. The prize also includes fast track entry, hospitality area access, and £5,000 cash, according to the competition terms.

SMS and online entries close at 5pm UK time on 30 October 2026, which leaves one day from this update on 29 October 2026. Postal entries must arrive by midnight UK time on 3 November 2026, so post still gives readers a second route after the online close.

The prize, exactly as the terms describe it

The winner receives two tickets to Oasis Live '27 at Knebworth Park on Saturday 11 September 2027. The tickets are Front Standing Golden Circle, with fast track entry and hospitality area access, according to the terms.

The winner also receives £5,000 cash, and only one winner will emerge from the whole promotion. The terms state that the winner will be selected at random by a computer process that produces verifiably random results.

Travel to and from the show stays with the winner and guest, at their own expense. The terms make that point clear, so readers should budget for travel, food, and a place to stay on top of the prize.

The promoter may substitute the tickets for a different show and date if the advertised show becomes unavailable. The promoter may also substitute a prize of equal or greater value. The 11 September date is the advertised prize rather than an absolute guarantee.

How to enter, and what each route costs

• Online: enter through the competitions page or widget, and follow the on screen instructions during the promotion period.
• SMS: text WIN OASIS or TALK to 83338, at £2.50 per message plus the standard network rate.
• Post: send full name, email address, and contact number to COMP6, PO Box 3190, Colchester CO2 8GP.
• Postal entries cost nothing except postage, while paid routes carry the charges stated in the terms.
• Entries outside the promotion period face automatic disqualification, according to the terms.

The Virgin Radio article short version says readers can text OASIS to 83338, while the full terms list WIN OASIS or TALK as keywords. Readers should follow the full terms keywords, because the terms take precedence over short promotional wording when the two differ.

Paid text entries carry a £40 maximum spend per participant during the promotion period. Online entries cap at 100 per participant, and postal entries cap at 116, with only one entry per postcard or envelope.

A second paid text can trigger an additional entry at no extra cost. A boost offer can add five entries for £5 plus the standard network rate. Readers should read those offers in the terms before they spend, because extra texts still cost money.

Who can enter, and when the winner hears

The promotion is open only to residents of the United Kingdom who are aged 18 years or older. The entry page repeats that limit as 18 plus UK only, and it calls the draw a network promotion.

The promoter is talkSPORT Limited, based at 1 London Bridge Street in London. The promotion started at 4pm UK time on 16 October 2026, and it runs under English law according to the terms.

The promoter will try to notify the winner by email or phone within two days after the promotion period ends. The winner must confirm acceptance within four days of notification, or the promoter may redraw a new winner at random.

Prize details should reach the winner within 28 days after acceptance, and cash should follow within 30 business days after bank details arrive. Winners may need to show valid identification before they receive the prize.

Why the 11 September date matters for Knebworth

Oasis play six nights at Knebworth Park in September 2027, and 11 September opens that run. A prize for the first night gives the winner the opening Knebworth show, not a late run date.

Knebworth holds a special place in Oasis history, because the band last played there together in August 1996. Radio X notes that the 2027 run marks the first time the brothers perform together at the site since those 1996 dates.

Live '27 has sold out across its 42 dates, so a competition prize offers a route that a general sale cannot. Readers should still treat the draw as a lottery, because one winner emerges from every valid entry received.

This post is not a ticket sale, and it does not replace the official ticket pages. Readers who want face value resale rules should check the ticket guide, while competition readers should check the terms first.
