Foo Fighters issue update as fans get 'no tickets' message


The Foo Fighters have issued a ticket update to fans. Within minutes of their tour tickets going on general sale at 9am on Friday (June 30) people were already getting a "no tickets" message.

One person who was 300th in the queue said that by 9.04am they were getting a message that there were no tickets. The only ones available appeared to be platinum tickets that are being sold for between £200 and £250 each.

At 9.26am, the band's official Twitter account asked "Got your tickets?!"

They added: "Keep trying!! Remember 'no tickets available' is not sold out."

At 10.27am, they said: "Keep going, keep refreshing."

Another fan who joined the queue at 9am was still in the queue at 10.20am. Some general entry tickets are going for £160 more than face value on resale site, Viagogo.

The Foo Fighters announced earlier this week that they are bringing their Everything Or Nothing At All Tour to the UK in 2024. As part of a string of international dates the band will perform at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on June 25, 2024.

The band, fronted by Dave Grohl, announced the UK leg of their world tour just days after appearing as surprise guests at Glastonbury Festival under the guise of mystery act The Churn-ups. They told the crowd they would tour the UK in 2024 and have now released dates.

It will be the first tour in the UK without their late drummer Taylor Hawkins who died in March 2022 aged 50. They will also play in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow in June next year. The ticket sale dates are the same for all shows except Glasgow. You can buy tickets here from Ticketmaster.

A viagogo spokesperson said: "Viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the freedom to buy and sell tickets to their favourite live events, safely and securely, backed by a guarantee.

“Having only just gone on sale, and after performing recently at Glastonbury, demand for tickets to see the Foo Fighters’ UK tour is high. We want fans to know that sellers’ prices can change and tend to fall over time, so we recommend that fans wait for the demand to settle to find a listing that meets their budget.

“It’s important to note that tickets listed at eye-catching, high levels, rarely, if ever, sell. The current high listings are not reflective of what fans are actually paying for these tickets.”
