Ticketmaster Website Crash

For the band’s two Croke Park concerts, the huge amount of fans this morning demand for Take That tickets which crashed the Ticketmaster site.

Just within 30 mins all tickets for July 18th show were sold out, the tickets for July 19th event were selling out well before the site crashed

Some 82,000 tickets a night are available for the Dublin shows.

It all happened due to excessive amount of fans in the UK coming online to secure tickets for the British concerts

The unexpected demand also caused problems for online ticket sales, this tour also include four nights at Wembley Stadium.

Justin Green of promoter MCD said, "“The reaction has amazed everyone.Ticketmaster never seen [such] reaction before. This has never happened in history of Ireland that the whole system has collapsed"

"The problem was “intermittent” and advised fans who wanted to book tickets to phone Ticketmaster or go to one of their more than 100 outlets across the State."

"It just shows the sheer reaction to Take That and Robbie Williams in Croke Park"
