The tickets went on sale at 10am on Thursday, March 2, but the website quickly crashed under the weight of demand. Many fans were left in a virtual queue for hours, only to be told that tickets had sold out.

Ticketmaster has apologized for the chaos, saying in a statement that it was "deeply sorry" for the inconvenience caused. The company said that it had been "overwhelmed" by the demand for tickets and that its systems had been unable to cope.

Ticketmaster Facing Investigation

Ticketmaster is now facing an investigation by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) over its handling of the ticket sale.

The CMA said that it was "concerned" about the way that Ticketmaster had handled the sale and that it would be investigating whether the company had broken any competition laws.
