Hundreds of thousands struggle to secure tickets to Peter Kay’s comeback tour

Peter Kay fans faced huge online queues as they attempted to secure tickets for his first tour in 12 years.

Many reported seeing messages on the Ticketmaster website telling them there were more than 200,000 people ahead of them in the virtual line.

The 49-year-old comic, who has been out of the spotlight in recent years, announced earlier this month that he is embarking on an arena tour spanning this December to August 2023.
As tickets went on sale 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.”
