Plenty of Peter Kay fans trying to buy tickets have been left sorely disappointed as tickets are already being resold online with some surpassing £1,000.
On Saturday morning, when numerous people were still waiting patiently in virtual queues eagerly awaiting their turn to reach the checkout, tickets that had been purchased were already being touted online for extortionate costs, on social media and on the resale site Viagogo.
For example, Metro.co.uk found a ticket for Peter’s December 16 show this year going for £1,180 per ticket on the website. After announcing his tour, the comic emphasised that he wanted to keep prices down given the current financial climate, stating: ‘With the cost of living at an all-time high, ticket prices are starting from £35. The same price they were on my previous tour in 2010.’While this statement didn’t reference a cap on prices, several people have called out those striving to resell tickets for fortunes amid the cost of living crisis.
‘So @peterkay_co_uk has tried to liaise with the general public by setting his prices low because of the cost of living crisis….just for them to be sold on for ten times more? @viagogo should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for these staggering prices,’ one person tweeted, sharing a screenshot of tickets going for over £340 each.
‘Disgusting how many tickets have been bought to resell for a ridiculous price for Peter Kay. Especially as he priced tickets to help people with cost of living,’ someone else said.
