Furious Arctic Monkeys fans slam comeback tour after failing to get tickets
ARCTIC Monkeys fans faced a nail-biting scramble for tickets to the band’s UK comeback tour this morning.
There were complaints of long queues and website crashes as thousands of fans frantically clicked to secure their place on the stadium run – the band’s first tour since 2018.
Others were unimpressed by the hefty £80 price tag, which included booking fees, but bit the bullet in order to see their favourite band.
One fan wrote on Twitter: “ArcticMonkeys Presale is a joke. It still baffles me that these ticket sites can’t handle the amount of traffic.”
Another posted: “This Arctic Monkeys pre-sale is a farce.”
A third said: “Is there an issue with presale tickets? I’ve been in the queue since 9, no luck!!!!”

Poking fun at the situation, another cheekily suggested a change to the title of the group’s upcoming new album.
They said: “Forget The Car, #ArcticMonkeys new album should be called The Queue. Managed to navigate the half an hour website crash and get 4 tickets tho.”
The Sheffield band recently released luscious new single There’d Better Be A Mirrorball, the sound of which is very much in the vein of previous album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.
That record, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize, divided fans.

However, their was also critical acclaim and praise for the record’s brand of spacey lounge jazz, with frontman Alex Turner developing a Bowie-esque croon.
