Ticket Websites Take That... And Crash
Due to a massive rise in online traffic, ticket websites have crashed as Take That fans scramble for their golden ticket to see the manband in concert.
The new tour sees Take That and Robbie Williams perform together for the first time in over 16 years.
UK stadium dates went on sale this morning at 0900 BST.
Those who crashed under the strain include; Ticketmaster, See Tickets, Ticketline and The Ticket Factory.
The online crash comes as police issue warnings to fans not to buy from unofficial agencies, after many unofficial sites announced tickets sales before the official launch.
Box offices in Sunderland, Manchester, Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow, Birmingham and London have also been jam packed with budding concert-goers.
A Take That spokesperson said: "Due to totally unprecedented demand this morning, all ticket agents have struggled to cope with the number of people logging on to try and buy Take That tickets," a statement said.
"The technology available has not been able to keep up with demand. However all ticket agents are confident they will be able to process all enquiries so are asking fans to keep trying."
