Customers furious over ticket pricing
Fans were left disappointed this morning after waiting for over 40 minutes to access tickets.
One customers said tickets were priced at "£655 per person" and slammed organisers for the "unreasonable" cost.
Spent 40 minutes in a @TicketmasterUK queue to see @PaulMcCartney in December, only to find out that the prices were £655 per person, a price which is beyond unreasonable. People obviously pay it but it's completely unfair.
