'Unprecedented' demand crashes Peter Kay tickets pre-sale
Peter Kay talks to Zoe Ball: 'I should only be on the news if I'm dead!'"Unprecedented" demand to see Peter Kay's first tour in 12 years has left many fans unable to access apps and websites offering pre-sale tickets.
They go on general sale on Saturday, but O2, Virgin Media and Three users were offered access two days early. O2 and Virgin said it was "by far the highest demand we've ever seen for priority tickets in 15 years", while Three added there was "a huge demand".In 2010, Kay set a world record for the biggest-selling stand-up comedy tour, playing to more than 1.2 million people.
He had been due to go on the road in 2017, but cancelled those shows due to "unforeseen family circumstances".On Thursday, some fans said they could not get into the relevant apps at all, some complained that they got to the front of the queue only to be told pre-sale tickets had sold out, while others were allowed to select tickets but not complete the purchase.
