Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte tickets sale slammed as 'absolute joke' after Ticketmaster issues

Fans were left furious this morning as long queues saw fans struggling to secure tickets to the Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte fight at Wembley - with some being kicked off the checkout as they waited to buy tickets. The queue grew as large as 150,000 at one point, leaving many fans inevitably disappointed with Wembley's capacity being only 90,000.

But some thought that it had been their lucky day, making it to the ticket section before choosing their seats and preparing to pay hundreds to confirm their spots. However, their still had been hurdles from this point as some had been booted out of the section as they attempted to pay for their seats.

Hundreds have taken to social media this afternoon after being gutted - thinking that they had their tickets secured before cruelly having them taken away from them.

Others had also been furious after seeing tickets being sold on resale prices for four times the original price. This coming just minutes after the original sale was went public.

Ticketmaster issued a brief statement on social media explaining why a queue system was put into place. They tweeted: "As expected, Tyson Fury v Dillian Whyte 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."

Prices for the fight are between £61.88- £2,250 (including fees) depending on what ticket type and where in the venue you're looking to book for (via Ticketmaster). Due to the intense clamour for tickets, resale platforms were already advertising tickets, as early as 20 minutes after they went on general sale
