Peter Kay fans vented their fury at touts scalping tickets for his Newcastle show at huge mark-ups.
Viagogo, a legal re-selling site, showed tickets on sale for his Newcastle Arena gigs for as much as £707 shortly after seats appeared to sell out out Ticketmaster, Seetickets and Gigs and Tours.
The maximum price Peter Kay charges for general seats is £65.00 plus booking fees, or £135.00 plus fees for a VIP package.

Within an hour of tickets going on sale, they appeared on Viagogo, with several charging more than £500 for a single seat.
One Viagogo scalper listed tickets for a seat in the upper tier at £707 each. Up to six tickets were available at that price at 11am on Saturday.
Frustrated fans called on ticket sites like Ticketmaster - which allowed people to buy up to 10 tickets per show - to do more to stop touts.
Rue, from Bishop Auckland, tweeted: "It seems strange that Viagogo have a lot of tickets at extortionate prices. Normal people unable to get any tickets at all. Very annoying and typical rip-off Britain."
Dan, from Newcastle, posted: "Something needs to be done about profiteering from gig tickets like. Not even sold out yet and Peter Kay tickets are on Viagogo for 7x the face value!"
Peter Kay is due to perform in Newcastle on Thursday March 9 and Friday March 10. He has announced extra dates in Manchester and Birmingham, but nothing has been confirmed for Newcastle so far.
