The rush to secure tickets also prompted the hashtags PeterKayTour and Ticketmaster to begin trending on Twitter
As tickets went on sale from 10am on Saturday morning, Ticketmaster tweeted:"As expected, Peter Kay is super popular this morning. To make it as fair as possible, we have put everyone in a queue. Be patient and don't refresh or you'll lose your place."
Andrew Rayner landed tickets for a 2024 date in Manchester, with Paula Rayner adding: “No chance of getting any for Leeds our nearest city! Two years to go but just grateful to get some.” Others were less fortunate and found themselves in queues that contained more than 400,000 people. Among them was Heidi McFaul, who said: “I forgot and went on at 11am – 222,000 people in queue. I’ve resigned myself to not getting tickets! Wouldn’t mind but I could have got priority on Thursday but site crashed.”
Scott Clarke said: “Three hours to finally get through to booking page to find no tickets at all on chosen dates. But no option to switch dates or venues once online!”
