'A shambles' - Foo Fighters fans take to Twitter to slam long delays after ticketing error
A problem with thousands of barcodes meant people were left outside the Etihad Stadium for hours
Last updated 20th Jun 2018
There is an apology this morning for the thousands of Foo Fighters fans who were left outside the Etihad Stadium for hours after a problem with their tickets.
Mass queues formed at the gates and angry fans took to Twitter saying it was 'disgraceful' and a 'shambles'
One person said they waited for more than two hours outside the gig, missing the support acts The Cribs.
In a statement, promoters SJM and Ticketmaster UK said:
"There was an initial problem with 2,000 barcodes not scanning. Unfortunately due to human error, a percentage of barcodes provided by Ticketmaster for tonight's Foo Fighters concert at Etihad did not work. This has been corrected and all fans are now able to get into the stadium. The problem is now resolved. Everyone is getting into the show and all gates have ran freely once the technical issue was resolved. This was not a Foo Fighters error and we sincerely apologise for any delays experienced by fans this evening, and will be contacting them directly in due course."
