Huge demand for Lewis Capaldi tickets as link breaks during Ticketmaster queue

The Someone You Loved singer took to Twitter last night warning of the huge demand for tickets to his shows, confirming over 90 per cent of tickets have been allocated to the pre-sale.The Daily Record reported The sale quickly descended into chaos as many people who pre-ordered Lewis’ new album didn’t receive a pre-sale code for the ticket sale.
