Arctic Monkeys Glasgow fans left fuming as tickets for show sell out in minutes

Arctic Monkeys fans have been left fuming after tickets to their Glasgow tour date appeared to sell out within minutes.

The band announced a new tour ahead of their latest album The Car being released next month and are set to return to Glasgow for the first time since 2018 to perform at Bellahouston Park.

However, after tickets went on sale at 9am on Friday morning, fans were left raging after waiting in a queue only to be told the much-anticipated gig had sold out within the hour.

One fan told Glasgow Live that she joined at 8.58am and there were already 12,000 people in the queue. By 9.30am, when she finally got through, general admission tickets were sold out with only more expensive bundles left.

By 9.50am, any fans joining the queue were met with the message: "Thank you for your patience, due to high demand, there are currently no tickets available for Arctic Monkeys at Bellahouston Park."

Meanwhile, on social media, people took to Twitter in search of anyone selling tickets by 9.30am with many venting their frustrations and begging the band to add another date as they closed Ticketmaster empty-handed.

One said: "Waited 35 minutes to get at front of queue for Arctic Monkeys in Glasgow for there to be no tickets available?"

A second fumed: "@ArcticMonkeys sat in a queue for Glasgow tickets with 30000 people in front to then get through and sold out. Add another date please there's clearly high demand."

A third echoed: "@ArcticMonkeys Can you add another Glasgow date please?? Absolutely gutted we never got any tickets been in the online que since 9am."

Another yelled: "@Ticketmaster WOULDN'T LET ME BUY TWO TICKETS SO I SECURED ONE THEN THE WEBSITE CRASHED SAID I EXCEEDED THE LIMIT AND PUT ME BACK IN THE QUEUE AND NOW THERE'S NO ****** TICKETS LEFT. ANYONE THAT GOT @ArcticMonkeys TICKETS FOR GLASGOW I HATE YOU."

"Did anyone actually manage to get tickets for @ArcticMonkeys I tried Glasgow, London, Manchester, Sheffield & Swansea. Sad all day now," one fan asked.

Ticket sales for Arctic Monkeys are limited to four per person for the tour and this limit applies to the entire tour and is not per venue. Only tickets purchased through approved agents are valid.
