Peter Kay: New tour dates announced as demand soars

Many fans have been locked into as many websites as possible from the very early morning to get their hands on the tickets.

Some fans have shared their relief after successfully purchasing their tickets.

One fan took to Twitter and said: “Well that was so much more stress free and easier than Thursday, cheers Ticketmaster for the Peter Kay tickets.

“See you in Belfast in February.”

Whilst other fans shared their frustration at being in a queue for long periods of time.

One fan said: “They said: "I haven't got all day.

"They are going down at a rate of 10k per 7 minutes, which tells me I could be waiting 3.5 hours.

"Time, I don’t have, and also how many tickets are available, should I give up now if there are 300k people ahead of me potentially purchasing multiple tickets?"

Another fan also says that when they tried to purchase tickets on Peter Kay’s website, they were taken to See Tickets, where they waited for 50 minutes, whilst the page refreshed every 20 seconds.

They said that they still weren’t in a queue at this point.

The website said: “We are currently processing the maximum possible number of bookings we are able to handle at one time.

“You are being held on this page (which will refresh automatically in 19 seconds) until a space becomes available.”

The ticket dates were announced as one fan waited in a queue on Ticketmaster.

It read: “Due to overwhelming demand for this show, ticket availability is now extremely limited, and some ticket options will be unavailable.

“Good news.

“More shows have been added for Manchester AO Arena for May, June and July 2024.”

However, a fan says that when they tried to purchase tickets for the Manchester AO Arena for May and June 2024 where they were told they couldn’t purchase tickets for them for another 29 days.

They were able to go in a queue for April 2024 in Manchester though, with less people also in the queue for certain dates and locations.

More shows were also added for October and November 2024 in Manchester.

Some fans still remained excited either way, with one person saying: “Wonder if this tour will beat the Guinness World of Records of records set by Peter back in 2010.”
