Peter Kay has just announced he’s going back on tour with pre-release tickets for the legendary comedian’s show going on sale today. However, the rush to see this comeback event is causing O2 some major problems with its Priority website crashing under the strain. Fans trying to get their hands on these must-have tickets are currently facing a blank screen with a message that reads, “Error. There was a problem and we’ve been notified.”
Along with this website crashing, the O2 Priority app also appears to be suffering with many unable to access ticket sales via their phones.
Those hoping to snap up a seat have now taken to Twitter to complain about the issues with one Peter Kay fan, called Amy, saying: “Cheers #O2Priority for not even allowing me to log in after you logged me out while waiting for #peterkay ticket.”
Whilst another called Kirsten added: “Your priority website is down O2 – can you sort this please asap to deliver on your promise!”
For those not aware, Priority Tickets give O2 customers the chance to buy seats for upcoming events before they go on general release. O2 says that there are only a limited number of Priority Tickets available for each event which is clearly why so many people are currently trying to use the service.
Priority can be used by anyone with an O2 contract but that’s not all. The mobile network recently joined forces with Virgin Media which means the Priority service is also available to broadband users as well.
This will be Kay’s first tour in over 12 years with the 49-year-old cancelling his previous shows back in 2017 due to “unforeseen family circumstances”.
Along with playing major arenas across the country, it’s also been confirmed that the Kay will perform a monthly residency at London’s O2 arena, starting on 16 December.
If the O2 Priority website stays offline or you are not one of the lucky ones, official tickets go on sale 10am Saturday 12th November at peterkay.co.uk.
Peter Kay’s new tour will kick off in Manchester on December 2 and the current list of dates stretch all the way to August 11, 2023, in Sheffield.
