More than 10 million fans tried to buy tickets for the 17 gigs.
Ticket platforms struggled to cope with fans left frustrated after hours of waiting as websites ‘crashed’ and many found that ticket prices had more than doubled due to ‘dynamic pricing’.
Days later the band announced two new Wembley Stadium dates due to ‘phenomenal public demand’ which saw some fans left shocked by standard tickets rising to more than £350 on Ticketmaster.
Among those fans who queued online to buy tickets - only to find the prices had doubled - was 60-year-old Diane Green.
Diane was close to buying a ticket costing £158 - but said she was kicked out of the queue and waited a total of four hours to pay £357.95 for one ticket.
She wanted to buy four tickets to take herself, her son and two friends to see the band on July 19 2025 at Heaton Park in, but told the PA news agency “there’s just no way I could have got more”.
