Edinburgh Luke Combs Fans Outraged by ‘Impossible’ Ticket Pre-Sale Chaos for Murrayfield Concert
Fans of Luke Combs are expressing their frustration over the chaotic ticket pre-sale for his upcoming concert at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. Scheduled for July 25, 2024, this concert is part of Combs’ My Kinda Saturday Night tour, which spans 16 dates across eight countries.
Pre-Sale Challenges and Ticket Prices
The pre-sale of tickets commenced on October 14 at 10 AM, with general ticket sales to follow. However, many fans reported difficulties during the online purchase process, leading to claims that securing tickets was akin to “rocket science.”
Current ticket listings on resale platforms show prices soaring up to £1,017, with other tickets priced at £803 and some even as low as £240. This surge in ticket prices has left many fans outraged.
Technical Difficulties Reported
- Many fans faced stalled online queues and error messages during their attempts to purchase tickets.
- Some users speculated that bots may have taken over the purchasing system.
- Complaints included frustrations about being kicked out of the queue after waiting for hours.
Official Recommendations from Ticketmaster
A spokesperson from Ticketmaster provided guidance for fans facing these issues. They advised customers to:
- Use only one browser tab.
- Clear cookies before attempting to purchase tickets.
- Avoid using VPN software.
They acknowledged the pre-sale’s popularity and anticipated that fans would experience long waiting times.
Tour Details
Luke Combs’ tour includes performances in multiple cities, kicking off with a concert scheduled in Slane, Ireland, on July 18. The Edinburgh concert will feature opening acts including The Teskey Brothers, Ty Myers, and The Castellows. The tour concludes at Wembley Stadium on August 1, 2024.
Fans’ Reactions
The outrage is palpable on social media, with one fan comparing the difficulty of obtaining Luke Combs tickets to the relatively easier task of getting tickets for Taylor Swift’s concerts. The sentiment among fans is that it should not be such a challenge to secure tickets for popular musicians.
As anticipation builds ahead of the concert date, it remains to be seen how many fans manage to secure their tickets amid the ongoing frustration and soaring prices.
