Chappell Roan fans rush to one site selling Edinburgh tickets after missing out in 'Ticketmaster wars'
Fans are scrambling to one site that's still selling Chappell Roan tickets after thousands missed out on her upcoming Scottish gig due to what they're dubbing the 'Ticketmaster wars'.
Last week, the Pink Pony Club songstress announced a surprise headline concert as part of Edinburgh Summer Sessions.
Set to take place on Tuesday, August 26, it's one of Roan's only two UK shows this summer, and will take place at the Royal Highland Showgrounds - but thousands of fans were left empty-handed after general sale sold out instantly.

One fan wrote on X, "How can Ticketmaster have a 'general on sale' but not even have enough tickets for it? I was two thousandth in the queue and didn’t get anything! Utter joke.
"Makes it worse that I’m already seeing Chappell Roan tickets for double the price on other sites now as well!"
A second was also left disappointed, as they shared: "Was number 2,000 in queue for Chappell Roan tickets in Edinburgh and got none... OKAY."
A third wrote: "Missing out AGAIN because of Ticketmaster wars."
Renowned for smash hits including Pink Pony Club, HOT-TO-GO!, and Good Luck, Babe!, the 27-year-old has risen to meteoric heights, and took home the title of Best Newcomer at the 2024 Grammy Awards. The upcoming Edinburgh show follows her sell-out The Midwest Princess Tour last September.
So, with limited UK dates line up, where can you still buy tickets for the singer’s Scottish gig and where else is she performing?
