Peter Kay tickets are so in demand that the comic has added seven extra shows in Manchester and four in Birmingham.
Tickets are not even on general sale yet, but the pre-sale on O2 Priority caused the app and site to crash today due to so many fans logging on in a bid to secure seats.
Comedians and artists adding additional shows to tours is a common practice once they have scoped out demand.

And with just two Newcastle dates on Peter's 2022-2023 tour, there is a decent chance Peter may add more at the city's arena.
As it stands, the Phoenix Nights writer and beloved stand-up will peform in Newcastle on Thursday March 9, 2023 and Friday March 10, 2023.
He then has a gap in his tour schedule of almost two weeks before is he due in London on March 22. According to Newcastle Utilita Arena' s listings page, there is nothing else on at the venue until Tom Grennan's gig on Tuesday March 14.
That means there is a chance Peter could add shows at Newcastle Arena on Saturday March 11 and Sunday March 12 or later. Nothing has been confirmed and no comment made, but the schedule gaps and today's announcements suggest they could be in the pipeline.
